Paralysed by a hickey
January 21st, 2011 at 8:52 am by David FarrarGiles Brown in The Press reports:
A Christchurch doctor had to treat a woman after she was partially paralysed by a lovebite from her amorous partner.
Dr Teddy Wu, who is currently working in the neurology department at Christchurch Hospital, said he believed it was the first time someone had been hospitalised by a “hickey”.
An article on the case has appeared in the New Zealand Medical Journal.
Wu said he saw the woman over a year ago while he was working in Middlemore Hospital in Auckland.
The 44-year-old Maori woman went to the emergency department after experiencing loss of movement in her left arm.
It happened while she was sitting watching television.
The only injury was a lovebite on the right of her neck near an artery.
I just hope this doesn’t mean there will be a public health campaign warning against the dangers off hickeys!

Only a public health campaign…………. by the time the mummy knows best lot in the health services are finished with this we’ll all be wearing high rise reinforced neck collars. Perhaps the collars could be fitted with pockets for sunscreen, condoms & anti smoking pamphlets.

Why it was necessary to mention the woman’s ethnicity, I don’t know.

What the hell are 44 year olds doing getting hickeys?! It is the trashiest of the trash! It’s what you see on 15 year old unemployed teen mums roaming around Rotorua.
But old-people skin isn’t designed for that type of abuse. No wonder it nearly paralysed her.
