Subsistence Syndrome
|
"Subsistence Syndrome" is a psychosomatic disorder found in
professional musicians. It affects them most severely when they are on
holiday abroad and manifests itself in an uncontrollable urge to
spend the day's subsistence, even though they haven't been given any
and are spending their own money.
In severe cases it can result in a musician on a self catering
holiday with their family spending more in bars and restaurants than
the rest of the cost of the holiday, including flights.
There is, as yet, no known cure.
