Topic 2 Cupping&`& patient has to have a cup removed with a SAW after it sucked up his skin and got stuck
>>>>>>Cupping therapy is usually a relaxing experience however it wasn&`&t the case for this man in China.
The man surnamed Hu decided to use his home cupping kit on August 22 at his home in Wuhan when things went wrong.
The therapy, known as baguan in Chinese, traditionally involves glass cups that are adhered to the body with a vacuum created by an open flame.
The suction leaves circular bruises on the skin that is believed to improve circulation and treat muscle pain.
Reports say that Hu&`&s wife, surnamed Ma, was using a modern version that involved a pump to create the vacuum.
However, one of the cups had sucked on to his shoulder so tight that Ma couldn&`&t remove it.
Photos show Hu&`&s flesh being pulled five centimeters into the cup. After a hammer and pliers didn&`&t work, Hu was taken to a hospital.
Doctors there enlisted the help of the local fire department. A team of four firemen took to the stubborn cup with a handsaw and carefully managed to break the vacuum.
Hu was treated at the hospital for the bruise.
