neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: More likely it's someone's Kürzel, IMO
9 mins
  -> Maybe you're right. One of the two

neutral  philgoddard: If it's the date on which the discharge summary was drawn up, Cilian is almost certainly right.
50 mins
  -> Hence why I put "Does that fit the context"...

neutral  Edith Kelly: it is someones's name. // It does not fit the context
2 hrs
  -> Yes, yes Edith I get the point. But I did say "Does that fit the context"... There is no context!

agree  David Tracey, PhD: If it's consistent with the context, yes
2 hrs
  -> Thanks David

neutral  Lirka: with Cilian; most often, the date is followed by the author's Kürzel
3 hrs

neutral  Peter Lautz: with Cilian and Lirka. Quite common in Germany.
18 hrs

agree  Lancashireman: Crikey! A lot of people piling in here, including the ultimate authority, Peter Lautz. As you say, "if it fits the context". And if it doesn't, no need to labour the point.
