Iatrogenic disorder

Iatrogenic disorder happens when someone gets sick because of something a doctor or nurse did while trying to help them feel better. It's like when someone goes to the doctor's office to get a shot but ends up getting an infection instead because the needle was dirty. Sometimes, doctors can accidentally cause harm to their patients by giving too much medicine, using the wrong kind of treatment, or even just making a mistake. So, iatrogenic disorder is when people get sick because of something a doctor or nurse did, but didn't mean to do.
