An event every year that begins at 00:00 on day 23 of September, repeating indefinitely
When: September 23
First occurrence: 2012?
September 23 is the birthday of the Swedish neurologist
professor Karl-Axel Ekbom who wrote the first doctoral thesis
on Restless Legs Syndrome in 1945
Restless Legs Syndrome is also called Willis-Ekbom disease because the first person to describe RLS was Sir Thomas Willis
in the year 1672. Thus, both the names of Sir Thomas Willis and
Professor Karl-Axel Ekbom are included in the name of the disease for their combined efforts. Even though they lived centuries apart,
writing down the knowledge was the bridge to new insights.
