Shancosis 

Shancosis - Contrary to popular belief, Shancosis is not a mental illness, although most often found in those who are mentally ill (but not always)

Shancosis is a disease of the soul. Only those who have Shancosis or have been around those who have Shancosis, know where it comes from and how badly it affects them. Shancosis affects the soul which in turn develops into rapid changes in mood, can affect relationships, and can cause troubles in relationships both professional and personal. Many of jobs have been lost over Shancosis, and friendships destroyed.

If you have Shancosis, you had better hope you have good friends that stick by you and help you through your hard times.
Jowdy has not been at work for several rotations, does not reach out to his friends, blows people off, and treats them poorly. Oh, he has Shancosis.

Jowdy has been very negative lately. Don't take it personally, please be aware he was diagnosed with Shancosis.

Sanitosis 

A degenerative psychospiritual disorder marked by the erosion of professional identity and self-worth, emerging in medical residents who find themselves routinely performing custodial tasks beneath their training, yet expected to smile through it.

Symptoms:

Title Collapse: Increasing dissonance between the letters “MD” and the toilet brush in hand.

The Pager Gag Reflex: Triggered by being called for a code blue and then told to “grab a mop afterward.”

Loss of Clinical Voice: Progress notes are replaced with custodial logs

Sanitary Delusions: Belief that in residency one must clean to ascend.

Progression:

Stage I — Compliance: "Of course, I’ll do it. It’s just being a team player."

Stage II — Erosion: Starts apologizing for things they didn’t cause.

Stage III — Conflation: Forgets the distinction between being a doctor and being disposable.

Stage IV — Assimilation: Attending physicians ask them to take out the trash

Pathophysiology:
The syndrome arises from a persistent mismatch between training and task, expectation and reality, value and valuation. It feeds on systemic understaffing, hierarchical indifference, and the myth that resilience means never saying no. It festers in residents who swallow their shame, then swallow it again the next night, until they cannot remember what they ever wanted to become.

Prognosis:
Some burn out spectacularly. Some quietly rot in call rooms. A few rise, swearing they'll “change the system” someday.
Description:

Sanitosis does not begin with a breakdown. It begins with a glove. Then a spill. Then a body without transport. Then a room with no Environmental Services. Then another. And another.

Soon, the resident is not helping clean, but cleaning to survive—scrubbing stretchers at 3am, bagging soiled linens, wiping down urine-soaked floors so the next trauma bed can be turned over.

No one notices.
Worse: everyone expects it.

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
