#the von recklinghausen's ones especially piss me off like you couldn't at LEAST have had a shorter name??

i know this take is ice-cold and i know i've said it before but eponymous naming is the dumbest part of medicine and i'm so glad it's being phased out. what do you mean von recklinghausen's disease is a completely different condition than von recklinghausen's disease of bone. what do you mean there's a disease called gorlin syndrome that's characterized by jaw cysts and there's a type of jaw cyst called a gorlin cyst but they're not the type of cyst that you see in gorlin syndrome. fuck you
