Just when you thought you could keep up with all of the contests here at TV Squad, we're about to throw another one in your lap.In celebration of Scrubs arriving in syndication, five days a week (starting September 18), we've got some great prizes in store for you, including a $250 Best Buy gift card or a 15-inch LCD television, and ten runner-up prize packs that include Scrubs labeled hats, stainless steel coffee mug, clipboard and light pen.
So, what do you need to do to win one of these great prizes? Read on below for details!
All you need to do to enter the contest is invent a fake and humorous medical condition related to television and define it. For example:
TiVosis: A condition in which a person will, in every day situations, think they can pause, rewind and skip forward through conversations.
Yeah, that's actually a strange condition I had in the first month I owned my TiVo, but thankfully (and sadly) I now know that's not true. Your invented condition can be related to anything with TV, including show titles, technology and actors. Also, your entry must be your own idea -- no copying from others. Post your entries in the comments below.
Enter as many times as you like, and take your time -- the contest will run for three weeks, then we will choose the best entry from the bunch. That best entry will win either a $250 Best Buy gift card or a 15-inch LCD television (winner's choice). Ten runners-up will win the Scrubs prize pack shown below. We'll announce the winners in three weeks boith here and via email (just to the winners). Good luck!

Houseachondria is a disorder in which one has the unfounded belief that he or she is suffering from any one of the strange yet serious illnesses seen on the TV program House.
Do I get extra points if I think I actually have this sometimes?

Incredulitis: A condition in which a person will will not stop complaining about a contestant on a reality show due to said contestant having no business being there yet staying on week after week.
Ex. Jim had a serious case of Incredulitis for most of season 3 of Project Runway. If Pamela or Vincent had made it to the final three he might have died.

Assclownitis – An off-shoot of foot in mouth disease, except this comes from repeating jokes from last nights episode of the must see comedy to some one uninitiated to said comedy and getting a blank stare in return.

Reality Misidentification Syndrome: Condition characterized by the assumption that "reality" television is indeed some reflection of "reality," often manifesting itself by the afflicted's over-zealous embracing of the genre.
Clarity Superiority Disorder: Disorder in which the afflicted constantly boast of the clarity and superior picture of their new HD televisions to anyone, whether interested or disinterested. The only known cure is for the afflicted to be on the receiving end of antoher with the same affliction who does indeed have a superior television. This of course is not a true cure as it merely transfers the affliction from on person to the next with no end in sight.
