A term meaning “physicianproduced”. It can be applied to any medical condition, disease, or adverse event resulting from medical treatment. IBS See irritable bowel syndrome.
Illness, disease, or imbalances created by medical or nonmedical treatment that were not present before treatment. In medicine the therapy is blamed (not the therapist) and changed to something else. In alternative medicine it may be called a “healing crisis” and deemed good for you. Beware: if the therapy makes you feel worse in a new way, it is almost always the wrong therapy.
Describes any adverse condition resulting from medical treatment.
adj. describing a condition or disease that has resulted from treatment and/or the actions of health-care professionals, for example an unforeseen or inevitable side-effect, hospital-acquired infection, or post-operative complication.
