  text: Consulting a physician was long regarded as an intimate and private matter.
    The physician-patient relationship was perceived as sensitive and trustful. Nowadays,
    there is a change, as medical procedures and physicians consultations are reviewed
    like other services on the Internet. To allay user’s privacy doubts, physician
    review websites assure anonymity and the protection of private data. However,
    there are hundreds of reviews that reveal private information and hence enable
    physicians or the public to identify patients. Thus, we draw attention to the
    cases when de-anonymization is possible. We therefore introduce an approach that
    highlights private information in physician reviews for users to avoid an accidental
    disclosure. For this reason, we combine established natural-language-processing
    techniques such as named entity recognition as well as handcrafted patterns to
    achieve a high detection accuracy. That way, we can help websites to increase
    privacy protection by recognizing and uncovering apparently uncritical information
    in user-generated texts.
