Great lecture as usual. Here is just a bit different point of view in a very casual and informal way. As much as I am committed and excited about all the advances in our field, I do dislike the changes in terminology. I believe Rheumatology has the most interesting history in all medical specialties and I adore all the names and all the stories. Even that a lot of our understanding has changed, I still find it hard to part with Wegener's, Churg-Strauss, JRA and many other old pals! It was also heavy on my heart when the name of our journal was changed. I m not sure about the need for the terminology to reflect the current understanding of something evolving. What should we call Lupus or RA today?
