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 use of stereotypical "classical cases" in medicine militates against identification of the many people with the disease who do not fit the stereotype. apnea • sleep apnea • sleepiness • obesity • pickwickian syndrome
