A Reminder About Confidentiality

A "tweet" from Dr. Christian Sinclair (ctsinclair on Twitter) reminds me to remind my readers of something: None of the patient names mentioned in this blog are real. In some cases I've also changed a biographical detail or two to further conceal someone's identity.  If you read a post and think you recognize yourself or your loved one, please understand that you are probably the only person in the world who'd be able to do so. And send me a comment so that I can respond to any concerns you might have about privacy.

I thank you and continue to hope that these stories bring wisdom and comfort to those who read them.
