Medical condition for Samis they say (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prolapse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'medical condition' is the definition.
'prolapse' can be an answer for 'condition' (prolapse is a kind of condition). I am not certain of the 'medical' bit.

'for samis they say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something) and 'pro' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lapse' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for prolapse that I've seen is " falling down from a doctor's point of view".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
