A condition induced [internally] by a practitioner, not from external factors. Something which is created by ourselves, a [contractor], or an internal [service organization], making things worse instead of helping or making more efficient. Something thats done internally, supposedly within span of control and with a common mission, that works against a solution instead of towards it. The term is co-opted from medicine, where it means a condition induced by a physician.
