45. Eponyms II: Name That Disease
Category: Arts
Duration: 00:20:47
Publish Date: 2016-10-16 18:27:35
Description:

If you love eponyms like Roman Mars loves eponyms, I’m afraid physician Isaac Siemens is here to deliver some bad news: medics are ditching them, in favour of terms that a) contain information about what the ailment actually is, and/or b) don’t honour Nazi war criminals. Eponyms are controversial things.
