Forums - General - Ok it's official, I'm a geek, my doctor says so

I went to the doctors earlier because I have some sharp pains in my fingers. He said it was from repetitive stress. He then asked if I spend a lot of time on the PC typing, to which I replied yes because my summer job requires me to sit at a PC 9 hours a day. He then asked if I play a lot of video games, to which I said "yeah a little" Enough to join a forum about video games

So then he told me to take a different typing style up thats more comfortable on my fingers and tke more breaks... and cut down on the amount of video games I play.

 

FYI, I understand the irony of me typing to complain about the pain I get from typing

Well be proud.






What do doctors know? If they where clever they'd be VG designers.

It was no ordinary doctor. It was a proctologist.

(Edit: It's a joke. I'm not implying anything about anyone.)



Maybe you should just stop playing video games all together.




Nintendo still doomed?

I had the samething with my wrists, strangely the diagnosis wasn't "geek", just a smirk on his face. Can't put my finger on why.



You should take a typing class if your school offers one and you plan on remaining such a huge nerd. Your wrists will thank you when you're 80.

I can type 116 words a minute for hours at a time and my wrists never hurt ever. I had a great typing class in high school that turned me into a robot.

The only time I ever hurt my wrists is when I have a couple finals in a row and I write essays with a pen for hours at a time. Or when I try some dumb breakdancing move.
