Dickens' "Fat Boy:" A Classic Case of What?
The "Pickwick Syndrome," named after a character named Joe in <B><I>The Pickwick Papers</I></B> purports to describe a prototypical case of sleep apnea, but in reality represents nothing of the sort. The fat boy who falls asleep constantly and immediately in the midst of any kind of vigorous activity resembles, if anything, a case of narcolepsy. However, Dickens did not attempt to portray a real-life clinical syndrome; like most fictional characters, that of Joe need only convince the reader to suspend disbelief, not to reflect some authentic illness. The use of stereotypical "classical cases" in medicine militates against identification of the many people with the disease who do not fit the stereotype.
