'Fat Hand'

Definition

'Fat Hand' is the name given to the feeling of numbness and/or enlargement associated with blood loss within one's hand,caused by continuous applied pressure.

Effects

The feeling of numbness is rather unusually decsribed as being heavy as opposed to the more familiar feeling of weightlessness associated with blood loss within the body. The feeling of enlargement gives the impression that the hand is definitely bigger than it's original dimensions, althought this is merely an illusion. There are no known long term side effects of 'Fat Hand'

Discovery and Controversy

The name and theory of 'Fat Hand' was discovered by Dr. Rochelle Ardeman aka 'Little R Bear' in 2005. Dr. Ardeman courted controversy and subsequently received much criticism for exclaiming, upon her findings, "Is it this big?", mimicking the afflicted in a highly insensitive and rash mannner by drawing a much enlarged, inivisible outiline around the hand. This was seen by many as a severe case of malpractice within the respective field, and an impending judicial trial will decide on any action taken.

Trivia

Dr. Rochelle Ardeman made the discovery of 'Fat Hand' on her boyfriend Charles Blane. It has since become a contentious issue between the two of them.

It is rumoured a film is in production about the discovery of 'Fat Hand' and is scheduled for release in late 2007. It is not known who will play the lead roles of Rochelle Ardeman and Charles Blane.

'Fat Hand' is also prenounced with extra emphasis on the 'F'. This is generally seen as a far more aggressive use of the condition and is spoken 'FFFFFFat Hand'. This is often perceived as highly offensive by sufferers.

'Fat Hand' is not known to be contageous but it is possible, although highly unlikely, to suffer from 'Fat Hand' in both hands. This is known as 'Double Fat Hand'.

'Little R Bear' is often abbreviated to simply 'LRB'.

Future

The future of 'Fat Hand' is unknown, although many cases have been reported in the Highfield area of Southampton, England and Swiss Cottage, London, England. Curiously, no cases have been reported in both locations at the same time. Dr. Ardeman is said to be investigating.
