    Syringing, Irrigation, Microsuction — What Do We Know? And How Dangerous Is Each?

    I've read a story recently, an olympic athlete would get a syringing done almost every other week since a young age, til she was in her 30s or so, and not a single problem until a nurse did it who was inexperienced, which leads me to believe the danger only comes from a doctor putting too much...
