I'm trying to think of a way:
Epithelial damage to skin -> intrusion of staph. aureus germs -> travel to
blood -> septicaemia -> spread to brain -> encephalitis -> compression of
brain -> brain damage
or:
manipulation of head -> causes neck pain -> patient sees chiropractor ->
damages vertebral arteries-> thromboembolism to brain -> stroke -> brain
damage
or:
Nah, having a hair cut isn't going to cause brain damage
