Park Bench

โ€œRADIAL NEUROPATHY Common causes include sleeping with the arm slung over a park bench (โ€œSaturday night palsyโ€), compression in the axilla by improper crutch use (โ€œcrutch palsyโ€), or fracture of the humerus damaging the nerve as it travels in the spiral groove.โ€

Thatโ€™s from the neuroanatomy book. You know, if I were a doctor, itโ€™d never occur to me to ask a patient if they came in with radial neuropathy, โ€œDid you sleep with your arm slung over a park bench last night?โ€

I just would not think of that.
