    They’ve done away with naming diseases after people. Most new diseases now have descriptive names. E.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

      And some diseases are renamed and actively encouraged to not use the old name. A prime example is granulomatosis with polyangitis, formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis. Wegener being a nazi might be a reason for this particular change…

        Idk. If we called a certain cancer “the Hitler disease” that would probably get across how dangerous it is.

        Same for Asperger’s. Fun fact: you shouldn’t name a condition after someone who tried to eugenics it away, especially in 1930s-1940s Germany, regardless of if they discovered it

      She didn’t say anything about naming it after him, she said he gets to name it.

    This is your chance to codify Ligma as a serious disease. Don’t mess it up.

    Easy. I name it “Sparta”. So every time when someone asks me what disease I have I can then say “Disease Sparta!”.

    This would be a lot funier if the question were the other way around and the response was just about him naming it.
