Cure Hiccups / Hiccoughs

Very occasionally patients come in with this strange one. All the patients I have seen in General Practice share one common item in their history - they never learnt a good way to stop hiccups.

From the reading it involves some sort of resetting of the diaphragm that's going beserk.

Click on this website for an interesting read on how you can easily teach someone to cure hiccups and try it at home.

Wedge resection of toenail



This will be a revision video for our resection later today. We tend to use a twisting motion to dislodge the nail's lateral edge and you will be surprised by how much nail is embedded. This procedure is so important to result in final resolution of effectively a foreign body. Enjoy.
