Way over in New Zealand a women recently took herself to the ER after experiencing loss of feeling in her arm while watching TV one evening. Doctors at the hospital concluded that she had suffered a mild stroke caused by a hickey that had been given near an artery on her neck a few days earlier. Her boyfriend’s overzealous suction caused bruising inside her blood vessel, which in turn caused a clot in the artery underneath. The clot then dislodged and traveled to the woman’s heart where it caused a “mild stroke” and subsequent arm paralysis.

I can remember when Hickeys where a mark for a man who wanted to claim his prize. After growing up I realized that it looked nasty and that shit really did hurt. I never did get why guys thought it was cool for them to give, but never receive. Once again back then that was a way to say, "Yeah I got that!" So seeing this story I was amazed because I never new people still gave hickeys.
