Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 That would be Gilbert's syndrome. The doctor is using the French pronunciation. Jobourt syndrome is a congenital, neurological disorder that has nothing to do with these symptoms.

I think Gilbert's syndrome is correct in this instance. It's pronounced " Jio-bares " . Gilbert's is in my Stedman's GI/GU book, the GI guys I transcribe for say this quite often, and it fits better in this context because Gilbert's is defined, per Stedman's, as familial nonhemolytic jaundice.
