ABSTRACT
Applying modern race and gender concepts to medical literature before the early 20th century distorts cultural and historical norms. Removing eponyms from medical terminology erases history and contributes to selective memory. Eponyms in medicine provide insight into how societal culture has evolved as it progresses toward achieving gender and racial equality.
