Has even the most obscure eponyms... We need more true medical apps... Kudos to the developer

I've had this app on EVERY Palm I've owned over the last six years. Now that I can have it on my Touch, one more reason to drop the Palm completely!

I used Eponyms in my Palm and was very surprised to see it here. It is very useful. Please buy this app if you are not a student.

Would like to see some pediatric terms, like baby reflexes. Everyone always forgets pediatrics-- kids are important too!

Well worth the $1.99 for those who can't keep their Chvostek's Signs straight anymore.

So helpful and easy to use. Would help if within the definitions there were cross links to eponyms that are part of the definition - would be a time saver. Still well worth $1.99!

This is a welcome addition to the iPhone family of useful applications for the healthcare practitioner. Keep up the great work!

This is a great app! It is a limited scope medical dictionary of conditions that are NAMED AFTER SOMEONE OR SOME PLACE like Meckle's diverticulum or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and who hasn't been confused over the myriad names of syndromes and anatomic variants. Discoveries in the past, and to a lesser degree, in the present, were not necessarily named logically or functionally, but by the researcher who discovered it. Pascal Pfiffner has done a great job and a great service. A NOTE TO NAYSAYERS AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T BOTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE APPLICATION DOES OR WHAT ITS LIMITS ARE BUT FEEL OK ABOUT WRITING CRITICAL REVIEWS: "iPhone 3G soon" now has a claim to fame in Google, since "crytosperidioses," a misspelling of cryptosporidosis, is now all over the world wide web. iPhone 3G also made it plain for everyone to see that he or she is not a "nurse student" (Student nurse? Nursing student?). To FNP-BC, APNP: unless baby reflexes, like the startle, sucking, grasping, rooting, and spinal reflex, are named after a person (an eponym), you won't find them in a dictionary of eponyms. Why insult the developer by saying "Everyone always forgets pediatrics--kids are important too!" as if it was his fault that you don't know what an eponym is. The same for Markle, who is plainly ignorant about what a dictionary of eponyms should contain. This IS a great app! If you're going to take the time to criticize the developer, just out of common decency, find out what the app is for. Geez! Is that too much to ask? Since he is a DEVELOPER, he will be looking for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not just mindless rants. If you aren't a student go ahead and get the $1.99 version. TWO BUCKS! What a bargain!
