your benzo withdrawal word for the day - Iatrogenic

Iatrogenesis, or an iatrogenic artifact ( /aɪˌætroʊˈdʒɛnɪk/; "originating from a physician") is an inadvertent adverse effect or complication resulting from medical treatment or advice, including that of psychologists, therapists, pharmacists, nurses, physicians and dentists. Iatrogenesis is not restricted to conventional medicine: It can also result from complementary and alternative medicine treatments.

 

The full article is a little longer, but still very short.  I think many here would enjoy it.  Nice to know that there is a formal word for it.

Thanks for the article,
