Such sickness and suffering orig­inate with medic, ultimately (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iatrogenic

'such sickness' is the definition.
(as in iatrogenic illness)

'suffering originate with medic ultimately' is the wordplay.
'suffering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'medic' is 'c'.
'originate' anagrammed gives 'iatrogeni'.
'iatrogeni'+'c'='IATROGENIC'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for iatrogenic that I've seen is " With such an illness".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
