A finger up the arse cures hiccups!

Department of Inernal Medicine, Bnai Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.

A 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube. Removal of the latter did not terminate the hiccups which had also been treated with different drugs, and several manoeuvres were attempted, but with no success. Digital rectal massage was then performed resulting in abrupt cessation of the hiccups. Recurrence of the hiccups occurred several hours later, and again, they were terminated immediately with digital rectal massage. No other recurrences were observed. This is the second reported case associating cessation of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

So, if you ever get caught in a compromising position, just shout out "This is a medical procedure!"

I am just recovering from sinus surgery last week and on my first day home encountered hic-ups all day long.I wish I had seen this earlier .I could have asked the wife for a finger.
Now I think of it , maybe I did because I woke up next morning with a black eye.Here, I thought it was the operation.Hahahaha

"Digital rectal massage" sounds so proper and therapeutic, doesn't it?

I just saw a show where a sexy cute guy surprised a girl who had hiccups with a long hot kiss. I'd much prefer a kiss than a sphincter rub.....

It seems like every time I go to the doctor?s office he sticks his finger up my ass and charges me a 100bucks for it.That gives my wallet the hiccups.

Reminds me of the "Seinfeld" episode where Kramer accidentally receives a proctologist's personlised car licence plates that read: "ASSMAN." Kramer says something to the effect:

"If you're ever at a party and meet a proctologist, park yourself next to the good doctor, because you're in for a heck of a night!! Ever story ends with, 'And Doctor, I swear, I have NO idea how that got up there!?!'

Oh god I loved that one LOL

Remember Mr Castanza sat on 'fuisilli Jerry' that Kramer made and that's why they had to go to the proctologist
