Abstract

Recent changes to medical terminology and nomenclature have made strides to improve ethical integrity in healthcare. Removing tarnished eponymous namesakes and depreciative descriptions from the medical lexicon is a challenging, but righteous undertaking. In this article, the authors propose replacing the pejorative histologic description of “Indian file” with “Tusken Raider file.”
