The last picture of the prone hand with curled fingers is suspicious for Podesta. He has Dupetryns. Nice analysis. If we had an honest justice system they would investigate this.

Not trying to be a smartass, but it is spelled Dupuytren's contracture for those who want to look it up. It is usually associated with older people and often alcoholics.

Not trying to be a smartass, but it is spelled Dupuytren's contracture for those who want to look it up. It is usually associated with older people and often alcoholics.

It's more prevalent after age 40 (Podesta is 68), and alcoholism is simply one of many risk factors.

From the Dupuytren Foundation website:

An estimated ten million Americans (thirty million worldwide) have signs of Dupuytren disease. Dupuytren celebrities include politicians Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Mitt Romney, actor Paul Newman, singer Frank Sinatra, comedians Bill Murray, Chelsea Handler, and many, many others – in all walks of life.

There's a documentary series from the BBC called Blood of the Viking; they talk about Dupuytren's contracture. It's found in people with ancestry north of the equator, and very little incidence in populations around the equator.

I'm not saying alcoholism is a requirement or anything or that Podesta doesn't have it. I'm fairly young and have the even rarer foot equivalent Ledderhose disease and also have Dupuytren's run in my family. I just wanted to put the correct spelling out there in case someone wanted to look into the connection.

Sorry for you. That's got to suck! I found a nodule in my palm and obsessed about Dupuytren's for a long time. Gladly, whatever it was receded.
