    • The 'L' is Not Silent: The Secret History of Guillain-Barré

      The 'L' is Not Silent: The Secret History of Guillain-Barré
      Feb 10 2026
      "We’ve been saying it wrong for a century."

      In this episode, we deconstruct the wartime discovery and the linguistic mystery of Guillain-Barré-Strohl Syndrome. From the trenches of the Somme to the lecture halls of the Salpêtrière, we explore how a name became a brand and who was left behind in the process.
