Thumbs Up (and Up and Up and…)

An Admittedly Funny reader and orthopaedic surgeon writes to tell us about the strange case he scrubbed in for this week: a young girl with three thumbs on each hand. Apparently several other members of her immediate family had the exact same deformity!

With all of those thumbs, this family could be the greatest movie review team in the history of the planet.  What’s that you say, Roger Ebert? Two thumbs up? Well, how about six!!!

In all seriousness, however, we do wish the patient and her family well.

Ok, enough seriousness. You will now watch a fuzzy kitten with thumbs.

And a kid doing a “weird thumb thing.”
