Officially change the name of "Klippel-Feil syndrome" to "Big Ed Syndrome"


Officially change the name of "Klippel-Feil syndrome" to "Big Ed Syndrome"
The Issue
Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare bone disorder distinguished by the abnormal fusion of two or more bones in the neck. It was first identified in 1912 by Frenchmen Maurice Klippel and André Feil. This is something that has been identified as "Klippel-Feil" syndrome for over one hundred years. I believe it is a time for a change in order to bring more attention to the disorder and have to connect to the new generations in a fantastic new way. Renaming it to "Big Ed Syndrome" officially would achieve this goal.
