Nintendo Thumb …

Game consoles ’cause skin sores’ … seriously? This was ‘just found’ and is ‘interesting’?
Its been around for YEARS, and is well known by most anyone in the late 20’s to early 30’s that spent far too much time playing Atari and got blisters where the joy stick kept rubbing, or not being able to open your hand after playing a game all night long.
Kids today are stupid.
Kid: “Hey doc. what’s wrong with my hand? i can’t move it after playing video games for 12 hours straight” …
Doc: “OMG. Its a new condition! Lets write a journal article about it.”
What a bunch of losers with their ergonomic game controllers. In my day, we didn’t have ergonomic controllers that fit nicely in your hand. We have little plastic bricks, with sharp corners and edges and cracks that would pinch your skin. They should have had more warnings on them than lawn darts …
We all suffered from this ‘disorder’ and we always knew exactly what caused the ‘disorder’…
Pong Claw.
Nintendo Thumb.
Gamers Grip.
Or any of the hundred other names kids around the country gave this ‘disorder’ …
