Schooliosis
Schooliosis, a pun on "school" and "scoliosis", is a term for a type of medical misdiagnosis. The word was coined by Petr Skrabanek and James McCormick.
The authors asserted that there is some degree of overdiagnosis of scoliosis in school, which causes ethical, social, and economic damage to the welfare of children.〔(Gérvas J. Escuoliosis. Acta Sanitaria. 2010-07-26 )〕 Such overdiagnosis is called "schooliosis" by some academics. Schooliosis is a type of disease mongering.〔(PLoS Medicine Disease Mongering Collection. PLoS Medicine. 2006/04/11. )〕
Preventative medical screening in school or college may lead to an incorrect diagnosis of scoliosis that triggers a series of unnecessary medical interventions on adolescents. There can be diagnostic and therapeutic cascades involving several specialists, which can end with iatrogenic damage to a healthy child with a normal back. The risks are unnecessary overexposure to X-rays (repeated diagnostic X-rays), rehabilitation techniques with side effects (traction), stigmatizing orthopaedic treatment (braces for back injury) and costs in time, travel, etc.〔(Dvonch VM, Siegler AH, Cloppas CC, Bunch WH. The epidemiology of "schooliosis". ''J Pediatr Orthop''. 1990 Mar-Apr; 10(2):206-7. )〕
The term has also been used in a non-medical sense for students' inability to imagine themselves as graduates.〔( Huber JR. Preventing "Schooliosis": A self-help guide for undergraduate family science majors. Family Science Review. 1989; 2(2):109-11. )〕
