DOC MARTINITIS
[dɒc-mɑr-tɪn-aɪ-tɪs \n. (Med.)]
The condition suffered by fans of ‘Doc Martin’, and will often, but not necessarily, cause a need for new and more content. There are two types:
Acute – A milder form usually treated with episode watching, news reading and/or fan interaction.
Chronic – The severe form of the illness, only managed by trips to Cornwall, campaigning for a season 6 and support groups such as Doc Martin Online.
Symptoms: The innate desire to see anything related to Doc Martin. Irrational fan behaviour can also present in severe cases.
Causes: Mild to severe infatuation with the television series. And the inability to view new content of said series (this in turn may prolong successful recovery).
