I doubt that people will make the connection. If you worry about being recognized, try using a pseudonym of a different gender or ethnicity, change some of the details about yourself, about your job or your office. Create a vivid mental picture of someone who is most definitely not you but could still be you for the rest of the book. Once people get into their heads that you are ____,_____,____ they will not readily suspect that you are anything else.

I do the same thing, so that I can keep my writing self and my physician self separate.
