When I was at mediocre UVa, I suffered from all manner of medical atrocities - being assaulted, having the diagnosis of my strabismus maliciously withheld, receiving an inappropriate diagnosis in a public setting from an incompetent psychiatrist, and on and on. At the time, the UVa Medical Center still celebrated an influential and thoroughly discredited proponent of pseudoscientific theories of white supremacy and eugenics. They recently changed the name to honor yet another supporter of medical atrocities. If they're going to honor a physician from Staunton who promoted atrocities, they might as well call it the "Sterilization" DeJarnette Wing and forcibly sterilize people without consent, justification, or anesthesia there.
