Hans Asperger

I'm sorry, but if you discover a disease and your name sounds like ass-burger, you don't get to name it after yourself. No doctor should ever have to struggle to keep a straight face while telling parents "I'm sorry, but it seems your son has Ass Burgers." That's just not right.

Other people after whom diseases may not be named:


Musician Bruce Cockburn

Movie Actor Bob Cummings









Composer/ Pianist Dick Hyman


19th Century French Poet Honore' De Balzac



Race car driver Dick Trickle

"I'm sorry, Mr and Mrs Smith, your son has Dick Trickle's disease."
