To examine the references to Cinderella in medical literature. Analysis of papers published in the past 50 years that mention Cinderella. The trend for use of Cinderella as a metaphor in medical publications is increasing exponentially. Five separate themes emerged: neglect, identity, transformation, exhaustion, and the mixed metaphor. The medical use of the Cinderella fable is growing in popularity.
