The Light in Room 7

How anonymity affects what a story can establish
Anonymity may be necessary for patient privacy or professional safety. It can also prevent readers from independently checking credentials, records, dates, and witnesses. Both realities should be stated plainly.
Responsible publication explains what was changed, what the editor verified, and what remains dependent on the narrator. Protecting identity and describing evidentiary limits are compatible editorial duties.
