Great story sir but I hope you are blurring a few facts....not because I want you to lie...but because HIPPAA has been know to bite a few of us in the back-side...even the smallest bits of private info put into the wrong hands can get us into a lot of trouble!

Thanks for your concern. To answer, I am very careful about identifiers. I don’t specify date, I don’t specify age, I wait at least a couple of weeks before writing, and while the situation remains the same in essence, even what the reader knows about the patient is modified a bit while the reality of the situation is preserved.
