Laughter may not always be the best medicine - at least not
for this woman who was left with her mouth stuck open after laughing too
loudly.
In a strange incident in China, a woman on a train laughed
so loudly that she dislocated her jaw. According to Guancha News, the incident
occurred on a train to Guangzhou South Railway Station in China's Guangdong
province. Last Sunday, the woman, while travelling on the train, dislocated her
jaw after laughing too loudly.
Luckily for her, there was a doctor on the train to help her
out.
Ladbible reports that Doctor Luo Wensheng of Liwan Hospital
responded to the appeal for medical assistance that was broadcast through the
train's carriages.
"I rushed over and found the passenger unable to speak
or close her mouth," said Dr Wensheng.
"She was drooling, so I initially thought she had had a
stroke.
"But I took her blood pressure, then asked her some
questions, and learned that she had actually dislocated her jaw."
The doctor was able to reset her jaw on his second try.
"I did it while she was distracted, and luckily it went back in
place," he said, according to Ladbible.
The unnamed passenger also revealed that she had earlier
dislocated her jaw while vomiting during pregnancy.
