    When symmetric skin creases occur in isolation, it is important to reassure the parents of the benign nature of this syndrome and that the creases will resolve over time

    It’s fine

      Instructions unclear, what PSI/KPA should I have the baby at before the road trip?

    I read that as Michael Bay syndrome at first and thought “how terrible!”. Michelin Baby makes more sense.

      “Doctor, anywhere I take my baby, things keep exploding violently. Like in a way that seems excessive and dramatic. What do I do?”

      “Oh dear. Well it seems your baby has Michael Bay Syndrome. I wouldn’t expect the explosions to stop any time soon but it’s not life threatening. Other symptoms usually include misogyny and negative reviews on Rotton Tomatoes.”

          Can’t decide if I like this better as a “he’s on his high horse” joke or a “horse’s ass” joke. Well done!

        Yes, one that’s fallen into disfavor because it’s been used as an insult for so long. Much like dumb, cretin, moron, idiot, etc. before it.

            Seems to be derived from “Christian,” the implication being that even though this person is mentally disabled, they’re still a human rather than a mindless beast. So not a medical term, but it was originally not meant to be an insult.
