Vu sur /., très intéressant article sur la santé des G33Ks (Oui je sais l’article est en anglais!!! Moi j’ai pas de problème pour le lire).

Health Problems Related to the Geek Lifestyle @ Carotids.Com

I am a currently practicing board-certified Internal Medicine physician in a large rapidly expanding tech-growth community. (Ed note: Verified) Our area is rapidly being filled with web development, IT, and biotechnology companies. As a doctor in this area over the last few years, I have discovered some unique health problems associated with this population. One of my patients pointed me to this site when I was discussing with her if computer use causes carpal tunnel syndrome.

I have noticed several repeating patterns in this geek lifestyle population.

I have always wanted to post my observations regarding the geek lifestyle. I affectionately call it the geek lifestyle because of my previous life of programming and web design. One of the best part of my job is getting to live vicariously through these young energetic people. I frequently wonder what would have happened to me if I would have stayed with my tech-life instead of transitioning to medicine.

Personal points aside, I have noticed several repeating patterns in this geek lifestyle population. Hopefully, these ideas will spark others to study this unique population.
