We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

The paper is 20 years old

Oh, well I guess it's not funny then.

No the idea of an old dude getting fingered to cure his hiccups is still funny. I was pointing out that it wasn't new.
It would be interesting to find out who thought to do it to the first guy.

So, how do I give myself hiccups? 'Cause it'd be great if I could get my health insurance to cover that sort of thing.

I think they need to be "intractable."

That would be hilarious if you got caught for that.

Does this mean people have been fingering each other for hiccups for 20 years?
