Sisyphus Speaks 176: Pop goes the lung.
b'There is a letter to Acupuncture in Medicine entitled Pneumothorax complication of deep dry needling demonstration. Pneumothorax, popping a lung, is a rare but well described complication of acupuncture. I almost feel sorry for the practitioner as in the accompanying video he keeps emphasizing the care that must be done in order to avoid just that complication. Then you see the needle abruptly goes really deep. Pop.\\n\\nProcedures, even useless procedures, have complications. It happens. But watch the video for the most god-awful adherence to infection control you could ever want to see.'
