Iatrogenics

Thanks to leon I have edded this word to my vocabulary. You should too. Look it up.

I found this particular section of Wikikpedia intersting:

"Iatrogenic poverty
Medical treatment does not only have an effect on the mind and body of patients but also on their wallet. Meessen et al used the term “Iatrogenic Poverty” to describe impoverishment induced by medical care[12]. Impoverishment is described for households exposed to catastrophic health expenditure[13] or to hardship financing[14]. Every year, worldwide, over 100,000 households fall into poverty due to health care expenses."
