Iatric: Greek: iatros - physician;
adjective when used as itself. more commonly a suffix as in geriatric, pediatric, etc. Also works the other way around as in Iatrogenic, Iatrochemistry, Iatroliptics.
Here's an interesting snippet with the adjective usage: Source: spizzquiz
"The respected editor of the respected Journal of the American Medical Association was fired Friday after charges he published an article for political, rather than iatric, reasons. The article, titled "Would You Say You 'Had Sex' If ...?", reported that 59% of college students surveyed in 1991 did not consider oral sex as "having sex." AMA executive v.-p. E. Ratcliffe Anderson, Jr. said Dr. George D. Lundberg, 65, JAMA's editor for 17 years, had put JAMA "into the middle of a debate that has nothing to do with science or medicine." He apologized for the article's timing. But sensible observers pointed out that this is the perfect time for such an article. "I think this is a tragedy," said Arthur Caplan, bioethics director at the U. of Pennsylvania, of the firing.
