Abstract:
Eponyms reflect the history of medicine, diseases, and doctors in their time. Their use is controversial, presenting supporters and detractors. However, the use of eponyms persist in the modern medical language in the Intensive Care Units and includes some frequently used ones such as Foley, Seldinger, Down, Macintosh, Magill, Ringer, Yankauer, Doppler, and French. The objective of this review is to promote biographical knowledge and the historical period in which its medical use took place, in order to deepen aspects of medicine history.
