I used to be really jealous of today's kids. They have no idea how good they have it. They get to play Guitar Hero (a game I would have loved), they get to roll around on their Heely roller shoes and the Nintendo Wii totally blows away the NES and SNES I played as a youth.
But it turns out all this new technology is just another thing for Mom to fret about. Guitar Hero famously injured Tigers Pitcher Joel Zumaya, roller shoes have caused hundreds of accidents, and now it appears people are getting "Wii Tennis Elbow," otherwise known as "Wiiitis."
I really hope Wiiitis makes it in the New England Journal of Medicine. I imagine if it does, the entry will look a little something like this:
Wiiitis (pronounced wee-ay-tis)- an all-encompassing term for any injury sustained during play of Nintendo Wii. Examples of Wiiitis can include Wii Tennis Elbow, Wii Boxing Wrist, Mario Groin Pull, and Yoshi's Montezuma's Revenge. Consult with Dr. Mario or your primary care physician if you experience any symptoms. Or just buy this game.
