| | Iatrogenic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Iatrogenic conditions can include medical errors, such as mistakes made in surgery, or the prescription or dispensing of the wrong drug. | | | Iatrogenic conditions can also be caused by various types of genital modification and mutilation. | | | For instance, because most drug prescriptions are handwritten by the doctor, poor handwriting can lead a pharmacist to dispense the wrong drug, worsening a patient's condition. |

| | CHEST: Evaluation of conventional chest tube therapy for iatrogenic pneumothorax |
| | The median age of the 47 patients with iatrogenic pneumothorax treated according to the standard therapy was 58 years (range, 25 to 83 years). | | | For this group of patients, less invasive therapies have been used with considerable success.[6-10] Markos and colleagues[8] have reported a 67 percent success rate in 12 patients with iatrogenic pneumothorax for the repeated aspiration of the intrapleural air by small-lumen catheters. | | | Chest tube therapy with continuous underwater drainage healed iatrogenic pneumothorax in 96 percent of our patients if the treatment was pursued for up to 10 days. |

| | What does the word "iatrogenic" mean? |
| | For those who advance the language to the frontier, iatrogenic disease can be caused by practitioners whose association with medicine is negligible or antithetical, such as homeopaths, chiropractors, and psychologists (especially now that they are lobbying for the authority to write drug prescriptions). | | | The practitioner need not be a physician, he might be a nurse or a radiology technician, or any one of the scores of differentiated healthcare workers encountered in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or offices, or for that matter in the ambulance on the way to one of those places. | | | The growing complexity of modern life (and medicine) has promoted the elasticity of language. |

| | SUFFERERS of IATROGENIC NEGLECT |
| | For the iatrogenic patient in particular what little influence existed quickly evaporates and an adversarial relationship ensues which is catastrophic for the on-going health care of such patients. | | | This effectively means that iatrogenic patients are being denied access to appropriate specialist care which amounts to a breach of their basic human rights. | | | However, the unanimous experience of the iatrogenic patient is that any attempt to have a frank discussion is sufficient for the disintegration of any existing partnership. |

| | Iatrogenic diseases endanger hospital patients |
| | The harm is independent of the natural progression of the patient's illness and treatment and represents part of the risk that the patient must assume as an inevitable component of management of one's body. | | | For example, Daniel Gerber, a graduate student of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health says "Obviously, it has a negative connotation, especially considering that many can be life-threatening. | | | Iatrogenic (Greek, iatros = doctor, genic= arising from or developing from) literally means disease or illness caused by doctors. |
