Cabbage patch syndrome is not really a medical syndrome.

Instead cabbage patch syndrome is just something that is played out when a hospital or mental health administrators for example run their institutions under the creed that "We must have the market" like the Cabbage Patch doll of last Christmas or we cannot survive.

And we must provide all the services others provide and more in order to survive.

Basically there's no official medical condition that is called "Cabbage Patch Syndrome."

Although the term cabbage patch syndrome is also just used in two very different contexts.

Cabbage patch syndrome is used in contexts like as a metaphorical business concept in healthcare administration or even as a common and informal pop culture comparison for babies that have specific physical traits.
 
In medical literature, "Cabbage Patch Syndrome" is a sociological and administrative metaphor that was first coined in the mid 1980s.

Cabbage patch syndrome, in medical terms describes hospital and mental health administrators who prioritize aggressive corporate marketing and a bottom line corporate mentality over quality patient care.

Cabbage patch syndrome was named after the Cabbage Patch Kids doll craze of the 1980s.

And the cabbage patch syndrome refers to the institutional belief that an organization must capture every trendy market and provide every single service that competitors offer just to survive, often causing severe strain on direct caregivers.
