Hiccups & the Gay Lifestyle

Just in passing, this little note. I was catching up on my reading at Improbable Research and saw this delightful item:
"Another hiccup victim goes untreated".

Tragically, young musician Christopher Sands has been hiccuping continually for the past five months (at that time, 15 July 2007) and has not eaten properly nor had adequate sleep the entire time. He's blogging for the cure.

All this is most unfortunate since, as IR pointed out, there has been research done and a cure apparently found. All this was reported by one Dr. Francis Fesmire in her paper:

"Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage." Annals of Emergency Medicine, Volume 17, Issue 8, Pages 872-872

There you go: "digital rectal massage". I'm not sure I need to say any more.

    I've heard of Fucking For Peace, but never (until now) of Fucking For Hiccup Relief.

    and everyone knows that fingers are fun, but not The Best at this kind of -er- massage.

    I sense the need for errands of mercy. I'm feeling terribly selfless right now, and volunteer for therapeutic visits in my neck of the woods.
