“深度”针灸，最终会刺穿病人的肺

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

新西兰一名针灸师在为一名年轻女子做针灸时，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).

这名33岁的患者因手臂和手腕受伤来做针灸，她的肩膀上方疼痛，呼吸短促。为了治疗她，针灸师决定把两根针放在附近的一个穴位，称为胆囊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.

当针扎进去的时候，这位年轻的女士表达了她的痛苦，后来，她告诉医生，针扎的感觉“非常深”。两根针在里面呆了半个小时，然后旋转并取出。

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.

就在这时，病人突然感到右胸疼痛，呼吸急促。她告诉针灸师，她感到“憋闷”，两肺周围有一种奇怪而痛苦的“空气”的感觉。

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，尽管在治疗结束时她仍然感到“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.

当天晚些时候，这名女子的丈夫带她去了医院，她很快被转到急诊室。据《新西兰先驱报》报道，医生诊断这名年轻女子患有双侧根尖性气胸，是由穿刺导致身体两侧肺部塌陷。
