UK - 10 people a week head to the hospital, thanks to the Wii
“There has been a 100 per cent increase in patients complaining of Wii-itis. I’ve seen many patients aged between eight and 13 — and I’ve seen adults. It’s possible that Wii-itus may lead to rheumatism and arthritis in later life. Patients often have inflammation of the shoulder or wrist.” - Dr. Dev Mukerjee, of Broomfield Hospital
Seriously…10 people are feeling that injured after playing the Wii that they need a trip to the hospital? I wonder how many people head to the doctor’s office after a regular game of Tennis, Golf, or Bowling.
