When A Doctor or specialist misdiagnosis someone because they have either;
1). profiled the patient with a prejudice based on their physical appearance, usually after just meeting them;
or
2). they played the most likely odds on the patients symptoms without actually running any tests;
or
3). were simply just careless when filling in a form and autofill finished their spelling.
eg. typing Osteoporosis instead of Osteoarthritis.
The whisper happens when it gets put on the patients permanent record without their knowledge and every doctor who views it from there on in, starts with a bias against the patient and will always believe the offending doctor over the patient, simply because it was written by another doctor.

Specialist: "Your blood pressure is quite high."
Patient: I just have white coat syndrome. My readings at home are normal
Specialist writes down that the patient has severe anxiety.
Every doctor after that: "Your symptoms are all in your head. Here take a pill to help with that."
Patient: "No I don't want to take something that I don't need. That's dangerous."
Doctor writes down that the patient is delusional and catastrophises a lot.
Patient finally see's their own medical record and sobs, "For crying out loud. These Doctor's whispers will be the death of me".

An expression that finds its origin in the cowboy culture of old western movies and cattle drives.
In those times, cowboys were often portrayed as exclaiming "yippee" during cattle drives as a way to express excitement and enthusiasm.
Additionally, canned beans were a staple in their diets during these arduous journeys.
Over time, the two elements, the cowboy's spirited exclamation and their frequent consumption of canned beans,
became intertwined, giving rise to the whimsical moniker "yippee beans" for baked beans.
Alternatively, the term is sometimes used to describe amphetamines like Methadrine, Dexedrine and other stimulant pills.
