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.

Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 2.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 3.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 4.Is the narrator’s emotional meaning preserved without overstating evidence?
- 5.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
