There&rsquo;s not really any way around that. People come to the ER expecting that we will be able to keep them from having a scar, but that&rsquo;s not the case. Even the most controlled scars, like those from a surgical procedure, will leave you with a scar. Why would getting hit with a baseball bat in the head, causing a big, complex, star-shaped laceration with smashed edges and macerated tissue not result in a scar? It just doesn’t make sense.</p>
