However, doctors who apparently need a burst of publicity for their practices never fail to come up with creative ways to make people extra worried. The latest is yet another report about how constant text messaging can do damage to your thumbs. Of course, we had mentioned another story saying exactly the same thing last week.

Everything in moderation, I guess...
