Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome

an emotional, developmental, and neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary expletives, criticisms occurring during residency training.

Often associated with mood swings, aggressiveness, hormone imbalance.

Exacerbated by junior residents, ED residents, and females- in general.

Instant triggers include critical lab value pages, opposition, going to the OR, sobriety, macro-nutrient imbalance.

ED Resident 1: The only resident listed on hand call is Lindsay Allred. I'd rather just replant the hand myself then call her...
ED Resident 2: Dude, I heard she was diagnosed with Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome.
ED Resident 1: It all makes sense! Well if the replant doesn't work, I'll still have the same success rate as Ryan Rebowe.

Critical lab value page: Patient calcium 8.4 mg/dL
Lindsay: *RIT EXPLOSION* $@%*! #$%!@+
