Miracle hiccough cure gets the attention it deserves

Reluctantly, I must thank Roberts for bringing to greater attention Lam’s miraculous hiccough cure (plugging both ears tightly, pushing both right and left tragus, and drinking the entire glass of water through the straw without pause, without releasing the pressure over the ears).1 It certainly works. Crushingly, I was under the misapprehension that the cure was mine alone.
