Hey guys.I don't know if you've tried this as a solution to hiccups... when I was in the sandbox, I was operating as a medic, among other things, and a lot of the third country nationals (pakistanis and indians) who basically live on curry would come in with intractable hiccups.They do suck. Keeps you up all night and just plain annoying.

We tried different medicines and all of the old wives' tales and finally.
My doc, who was a Ranger, showed us the one thing that actually worked.
He put a tongue depressor (you can use your finger) into the guy's mouth and put it into his throat till he started to gag like he was going to throw up, he kept that up for about 20 seconds or so, and when he removed it, the guy's hiccups were gone. I know it sounds kind of fucked up and kind of savage and you may actually throw up trying it if you decide to, but once you get the technique down it works every fucking time.
