While I was editing another student's PS, I noticed they used a full name, and immediately told them to change it to at least a first name/make up a name to prevent HIPPA violation.
They ask if they should say N instead. (an initial than Nick)
I then asked a friend working in a med school, and she said she prefers when people say like: Nick, name disguised for confidentiality, was a patient I cared for.
What is your opinion on initial names?
Dr. O (physicians you shadow)
Nick (first name)
N (initial)
I personally thought fake first name without the (name disguised for confidentiality reasons) was fine. I always felt weird reading initial names... Dr. O did this and that... N passed away and changed my life.
