Grey's Anatomy Episode: Hiccups/Gastroplication/Acupuncture

[hoochis]

sorry, more of a scrubs fan!

[ZoeyMacaroni]

Right above the eyebrows with two fingers (index and middle)press both at same time until it stops. It relaxes the vagel? thing. Saw it on untold stories of the ER.

[Buddhababe42]

Well I'm hicupping right now and have a acupunture appointment tomorrow. They have been persistant on and off for almost 48 hours. I've had great results from acupuntutre before so I will keep you posted tomorrow. The acupunturist told me she can help me with this so I'm releived. I can tell you right now this is more than likely acid reflux related.

anyone else spend to much time looking through these comments trying to find a place to watch grey's anatomy, was i found a good one while looking through some yahoo answer questions the site is blackboxshows. com/greys_anatomy

[part 1]

why do doctors make things so complicated and expensive?

hiccups are the body's natural way of involuntarily shaking the stomach to make small bubbles merge together into a burpable size. in the presence of mucous, these small bubbles will not merge together so they remain trapped along the lining of the stomach thus perpetuating hiccups. the most common cause of this stomach mucous is eating too much spicy foods too frequently.

[fartpopartist]

[part 2]

so based on my own personal observations and my own personal discovery, the cure for prolonged hiccups is simply one dose of 12 hr mucinex which is what cured my case which lasted for 3 days and nights until experimenting with mucinex.

rare cases include but are not limited to a brain tumor or an allergic reaction.

hey, not bad. i am an acupuncture and moxibustion student in Shanghai TCM University..and western medicine is required too in my college.well I really think you should visit my college once in a while~~

[bboytao]

Good look on the acupuncture. I'm currently in school for my masters in Acupuncture. I have my bachelors in biology and instead of going to Western Medical school first I went Eastern. Acupunctrue can treat the underlying cause of problems not just the symptom of the pain or hiccup. Check out a guy by the name of Jeffrey Yuen. He is a chinese doctor in NYC who teaches acupuncture and heals "incurable" diseases

[usmedstudent]

thanks for this information!

[ohmssoo7]

There is a brand new medical school in California called Stewart University, STEWARTMED ORG

[ddeennpp]

thanks for your video, keep it coming! I am a nurse studying to be a licensed acupuncturist. Hope to add to the growing body of knowledge relating to acupuncture someday. Cheers!

[AlexLogan22]

Hey med student, I got something similar, but instead of hiccups, it's excessive belching! It's been like this for over 3 years, thanks to acid reflux. I'm about to have a surgery called Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, let me know if you've heard of it & if it's a good idea. Thanks

[robertlowryjr]

Traditional Chinese Medicine is very good at treating digestive disorders. The key with all diseases (east and west) is early treatment. The longer you wait, the more it makes functional problems into organic, anatomical problems, and the harder it is to treat with TCM or western ways. Go to a LAc and get a full TCW workup as an MD or DC is not taught internal medicine, mainly external pain medicine. A Licensed acupuncturist has passed national board exams that could not be passed by an MD.

[GuliasGodzilla]

I'm an acupuncture student from Brazil. I think it's a great thing more and more doctors (and med students) r getting interested in acpt. East & West should meet for + knowledge to mankind (I wish I cd say + but cant with only 500)

[Tomorintanaka]

Receiving an acupuncture treatment from a certified acupuncturist? How about a LICENSED acupuncturist? A certified acupuncturist has only 300 hours training comparing to a licensed acupuncturist completed 4050 hours of training. Go figure

[usmedstudent]

Great point -- I actually have trained for 300 hours in acupuncture, and at this point, I'd only feel comfortable to do acupuncture on myself...

[slycordinator]

FYI

MDs who go through the 300 hours training can still be called a "Licensed Acupuncturist" in most states.

[bboytao]

I went through about 300 hours in my first semester at school. I have 7 more semesters to go...

[slycordinator]

Doesn't change what I said. Most states allow MDs who go through 300 hours of training to be called LAc's even though that is nowhere near enough time to learn all of TCM imo (and I just finished my first semester of a 4 year Master's program).

[bboytao]

I'm not disagreeing with you. I was adding to it. I'm on the same track, except I'm doing the 4 year plan in Classical Chinese Medicine instead of strictly TCM and we run 3 semesters a year so we finish a year earlier. In other words 3 years to get our 4 year degree in CCM

[slycordinator]

I'm gonna add that the distinction between classical and traditional is dubious at best. In fact, the CCM schools I looked at have the same curriculum of any TCM school. Oh and my school's 3 semester's a year as well (and it still is a 4-year program).

[bboytao]

Your an angry person. You keep fighting when there is no fight. There is a big difference between CCM and TCM. Which schools curriculums did you compare? There is an entire comparative paper on why the two aren't the same. TCM was a synthesis of CCM basically pushed together by Mao Tse Tung. While it is good it is not complete for all problems. It is great however for sports injuries!

[slycordinator]

I'm not angry about this. I'll send you a personal message to keep our "off-topic" discussion out of this guy's video.

[robertlowryjr]

Actually they are not LAcs they are board certified acupuncturists. Learning western medicine does not help with learning Traditional Chinese Medicine, and vice versa, anyone trained in both will tell you this if they are honest. I know a girl studying acupuncture and while she does good with the western medical classes (over 1/4th of her Masters degree in Acupuncture), she struggles with Chinese Medical theory. BTW she was a pre med student and has a Bachelors from an exclusive private school.

[rank101]

Hmm...not sure about that. In China, many physicians are trained in both biomed and TCM. The goal that MaoTzeTung set forth was to fuse the best practices (at that time) in Biomed with the best practices of TCM.

[robertlowryjr]

rank101 - Well I have been trained by Doctors from China and they have seperate Universitys for Eastern and Western medicine, even though they are both sometimes practiced by SOME of the same people. To get a Doctorate in TCM you need to go 8 years to a TCM school, the only classes you would get out of would be the western med classes. I can give you the emails to 15 Doctors from China that I am friends with if you want.

[iashrnicfah]

quite interesting actually, where are you a med student?

[usmedstudent]

Thanks! I'm at Harvard Medical School.

[Urgelt]

I agree, accupuncture is *very* low risk, so there's nothing much to lose from trying it.

Great job of clearly explaining the sequence of events that led to Ms. Grey's unfortunate death, and a fine example of how to use the internet to fact-check.

[usmedstudent]

Thanks a lot!

[xRobiLiciousx]

Thanks for that, I found it vastly interesting and added it to favourites ^^

Your vids are always so MIND BLOWING lol crazy stuff!

[usmedstudent]

I really appreciate that!
