Most disorders/diseases are too complex to have a short name that accuratley describes what they are so I don't think a disorder being 'poorly' named is that big of a deal.

At least come up with a fancy word for it like Wombleypoos or something

And add colours and levels for extra flavour.

They are diagnosed with Green Level 3 Wombleypoos, just keep them away from the level 2's to avoid the floop scenario!

Most of my mates are some flavour, colour and level of Wombleypoo, but tbqh I've never considered whether - like star signs - there may be incompatibilities there
