George's symptoms, including the lack of sensation in his hand without any identifiable physical cause and his "la belle indifference" (a term used to describe a patient's unconcerned attitude towards their symptoms), are characteristic of a functional neurological symptom disorder (FND). FND is a condition where patients experience neurological symptoms that can't be explained by medical or neurological conditions.
