Congenital Clubbing
Saw a patient today with nice finger clubbing. His was congenital as he was otherwise well with no heart or lung problems. His father also has clubbing from birth.

was he indian? I remembered in 3rd year, my lecturer said that congenital clubbing are more in indians, so we have to look closer.
Pardon my ignorance. What exactly is clubbing? A physical deform?
Clubbing is the drumstick like appearance of the tips of the fingers. It normally is a sign of heart or lung problems, but some people are just born with it. The guy was a malay, so far I have not noticed it that much in indians.
