Well, it happened. It really happened.
Back in June of 2009, when I had the misfortunate of passing along news that “cell phone elbow” – a new, very real affliction born out of society’s overuse of mobile phones – had debuted in the medical lexicon, the story had an regrettable aura of inevitability.
Because, not unlike the Tommy John surgery of Stephen Strasburg, we kind of all feared something like this might be coming. We knew we were addicted to phones, we just didn’t want the embarrassment of needing a doctor’s attention because of it.
But this, this has to take the cake.
