This is a list and database of over 1,2585 common and obscure 
medical eponyms (e.g. Rovsing's sign, Virchow's node)
that I've accumulated over the years.

It is now a stand alone program (whereas previously it was a database that
required JFile or a Doc reader) thanks to Dr. Mathias Tschopp.

You may also continue to download the JFile database (which is updated as well)
from http://eponyms.net.
