Here's the challenge (thought up by Alex Penn) - What's a differential diagnosis for dyspnea...using only eponyms? Here's what a few of us thought up:
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
Guillain-Barre
Austin-Flint (I think this one's iffy, it's a sign not a syndrome)
Eisenmenger's syndrome
Ebstein's anomaly
Tetralogy of Fallot
Fanconi anemia
Pancoast tumor
Marfan's syndrome leading to pneumothorax
Klinefelter's syndrome leading to pneumothorax
Factor V Leiden -> DVT -> PE
I think we're starting to stretch it.

In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.
