[edit] Brascon Maneuver

Brascon Maneuver (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Possible hoax, was tagged speedy as such - but hoaxes are not speedy candidates, and frankly not being a doctor I couldn't tell whether this was or wasn't a hoax. The speedy requester found no ghits on this or the eponymous doctor. Carlossuarez46 21:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Ok, this is laugh-out-loud hilarious because of it's ridiculousness. The article basically translates into American English as "the doctor reaches around from behind (through the armpits), squeezes the breasts, and checks them to see if they are sagging, then provides a score." Can't possibly be real. I laughed out loud. Kudos, author, whoever you are. (just don't do this to wiki anymore...) Keeper76 21:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. Too bad there's no operative BJAODN anymore. So frosh are going on Wikipedia to get to second base these days? --Dhartung | Talk 03:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, per nom and Keeper76, although as hoaxes go, this is a well-written one. But perhaps this should be SALTed because it's so darn plausible. Accounting4Taste 06:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strongest delete possible, since my speedy (as nonsense) didn't work. Just plain old WP:BOLLOCKS. I think my original comments on the article talk page say it all. However, I think I might try this maneuver down at the corner bar tonight. Realkyhick 08:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a (well done) hoax. /Blaxthos 11:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Hopefully, the medical student or pre-med who wrote this won't get in trouble 10 years from now for doing the "Brascon maneuver" on his patients. "I was checking for neurological nipple response.... I'm a doctor." And I think when his friend Jesse finds out about this, he may experience a traumatic partial edentualation and facial contusions.

  • Speedy Delete - Actually, hopefully the med student who wrote this won't get in trouble ten years from now for having written this. (I really hope Brascon isn't his real last name...) And the hoax isn't that meticulous at all - it claims the reference is Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 2nd edition (2000), when everyone knows Harrison's is on its 16th edition - which came out in '05. The 14th came out in '98, and the 15th in '01. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl) 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
