“深度”針灸，最終會刺穿病人的肺

An acupuncturist in New Zealand has accidentally pierced a young woman's lungs, after inserting needles in her shoulder region too deeply.

新西蘭一名針灸師在為一名年輕女子做針灸時，因刺得太深，不小心刺穿了她的肺部。

The 33-year-old patient was seeking treatment for an arm and wrist injury, which was causing pain on top of her shoulders and a shortness of breath. To treat her, the acupuncturist decided to place two needles in a nearby acupressure point, known as Jian Jing or Gallbladder 21 (GB21).

這名33歲的患者因手臂和手腕受傷來做針灸，她的肩膀上方疼痛，呼吸短促。為了治療她，針灸師決定把兩根針放在附近的一個穴位，稱為膽囊21 (GB21)。

As the needles were going in, the young woman expressed pain, and later, she told the Health and Disability Commissioner that the insertions felt "extremely deep". Both needles were left in for half an hour, before they were then rotated and removed.

當針扎進去的時候，這位年輕的女士表達了她的痛苦，后來，她告訴醫(yī)生，針扎的感覺“非常深”。兩根針在里面呆了半個小時，然后旋轉并取出。

It was at this point that the patient felt a sudden onset of pain in her right chest and a shortness of breath. She told her acupuncturist she felt "stuffy" and she was having a strange and painful 'air' sensation around both her lungs.

就在這時，病人突然感到右胸疼痛，呼吸急促。她告訴針灸師，她感到“憋悶”，兩肺周圍有一種奇怪而痛苦的“空氣”的感覺。

The patient was sent home to rest up and take it easy, even though she was still feeling "very uncomfortable" at the end of treatment.

病人被送回家休息放松，盡管在治療結束時她仍然感到“非常不舒服”。

Later that night, the woman's husband took her to the hospital, where she was quickly referred to the emergency department. According to the New Zealand Herald, doctors here diagnosed the young woman with bilateral apical pneumothoraces, which is a lung collapse on both sides of the body, due to a top-side puncture.

當天晚些時候，這名女子的丈夫帶她去了醫(yī)院，她很快被轉到急診室。據《新西蘭先驅報》報道，醫(yī)生診斷這名年輕女子患有雙側根尖性氣胸，是由穿刺導致身體兩側肺部塌陷。
