Jim Henson's Disease

Any illness which the sufferer elects to ignore, because they're too busy with work and/or too shy to bother other people about trivialities like their own rapidly deteriorating health.

Jim Henson famously died of pneumonia, but not wanting to be a 'bother' to hospital people, delayed going until it was too late.

Go home and rest. We don't need anyone dying of Jim Henson's Disease here!
