Hey doc, it hurts when I do this. Well, quoth the doctor,
don't do that.A 9-year-old boy in California who suffered from uncontrollable head jerking movements after long hours of video game playing stopped the twitching after his doctor banned him from playing PlayStation, according to a report.
Nicholas Lavin said that he played PlayStation constantly over the holidays at his home in San Diego and began to notice that his head would jerk back and forth.
"I would do funny things with my head," Nicholas said.
Lavin's mother said her son began to twitch so badly that she took him to the family's pediatrician.
How embarrassing. Not that your kid plays too many video games, but that you took him to the doctor for it. Moron.
