The Hiccupping Patient was one of the clinic patients House had to treat in the Season 3 episode One Day, One Room. He was portrayed by actor Nick Slatkin. The patient comes in complaining about hiccups. House reassures him that the problem will resolve itself without any treatment, but the patient insists it has been going on all day. The patient then says he's heard about a treatment for it. House immediately starts getting suspicious and realizes it's an unusual case of drug seeking behavior - the patient wants to his anus to be digitally stimulated. House marks it on the patient's chart.
