Talk:Fournier gangrene

Article title
The default article title should be Fournier's gangrene (and not a redirect from there) as that's how it's commonly met in literature. Fournier's gangrene (489) vs. Fournier gangrene (120). ktr (talk) 10:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * From PubMed "Fournier's gangrene"=25 "Fournier gangrene"=18 so not a lot in it. However there is a move to not possessively name eponymous disorders (hence Dr Parkinson did not have the neurological disorder named for him, hence it is not his disease - Parkinson's disease would be an illness he had). I personally dislike this political correctness, diseases have traditionally be so named with the "'s", still see List of eponymous diseases, but I agree most of teh articles still seem to be named with the "'s". Probably not worth the swtich in names unless a clear opinion to do so by several editors. David Ruben Talk 00:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So you suggest we leave it as it is. It's OK with me; I was just reading about the article's subject somewhere and after checking it here too, the title caught my eye. Indeed, it's only a matter of political correctness like you wrote. ktr (talk) 07:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

No picture?
There's no picture for Fournier gangrene, so could somebody add one? --68.103.31.159 (talk) 17:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, there is one photo now and it's seriously disturbing. I can't even distinguish body parts. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 01:50, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah... It should be hidden with a warning about how graphic it is and only show when clicked. Captain Skank (talk) 14:20, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I really wouldn't call it full recovery... It looks more like post-surgical debridement and that looks more like a foley insertion than an ileostomy, since ileostomies are not inserted, and I'm not sure why it would be relevant as the anatomy is not that close. --Javajoe57 (talk) 23:01, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
