rooster59 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Squeezing someone's neck could kill them - says expert Thai doctor Image: Daily News BANGKOK:-- A Thai doctor expert in the workings of the brain has said that squeezing someone's neck could kill them. He was asked to comment after a video was posted online sowing a technique that allegedly helped with brain function. It involved applying pressure to both sides of the neck. The technique was said to cause a momentary stillness in the patient then a full recovery. Theerawat Hemajutha at Chula Hospital said that the technique was dangerous and should not be attempted. It could shut off the supply of blood to the brain and result in coma, disability or even death. He added that the idea that this was a viable treatment was nonsense.

impulse Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ridicule it all you want. If there's someone out there offering this as a treatment, the article is timely. It may save lives. If one person reads this and changes their mind about getting it done, I'd put it in the win column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this article was definitely not intended to get publicity for anyone. It was a genuine effort to inform anyone who didn't know that grabbing someone's neck with both hands and squeezing it might not be a really smart thing to do.

Anyone stupid enough to allow someone to cut off the blood supply to the brain (in the expectation that the brain will work better that way) should arguably be encouraged to go ahead for the good of society at large.

Still, it's nice to see that Thai 'experts' are performing to the expected standard. Perhaps he's been researching a cure for stupidity? He is a brain expert after all... I was particularly impressed that just saying 'applying pressure to both sides of the neck" wasn't enough, they required pictures with pixellated faces as well. Mind you, if it was me making a complete fool of myself, I think I'd want my face pixellated as well.

Yeah, that social Darwinism chestnut works out great until it's someone you love laying on the slab. Like the warnings about the dangers of erotic strangulation. Yet a lot of youngsters (and oldsters) even back home succumb annually. I guess it's okay if it's nobody I love. Right?

chrisinth Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Nice to see that the TV experts are jumping at the title of the OP and slagging off the doctor's comments without reading the article. He was only doing what he was asked to do.If people don't think that cutting off blood supply to the brain is risky then maybe they should let someone try this technique on themselves or a loved one and see how you get on.Media driven clickbait titling at work, very effectivly it seems.....

williamgeorgeallen Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 sometimes it is good to state the obvious just in case. there is a lady boy that should have been warned not to give itself a sex change. not knowing that almost cost him his life.
