Asfixia

Asfixia: noun. The medical term for inability to fix things. It is customary to distinguish between physical and psychological asfixia. Physical asfixia is when a creature has no means to fix a particular problem. For example, people suffering from haemophilia have physical asfixia in regard to their blood not clotting. Psychological asfixia is when a creature has the means to fix a particular problem, but is mentally unable to do so. For example, some psychologists argue that Jehovah's Witnesses have psychological asfixia in regard to blood transfusion as a method of saving lives.
