How did she find out? In the US there is HIPAA and I imagine other countries have similar laws, even without laws like that shouldn’t it be difficult to find that stuff out?
According to the article I found, once she got curious she called and pestered the hospitals until a nurse told her the surname. It was his, but still common. She recited her husband's "identification number" "instinctively," and the nurse asked, "How did you know?"
So they didn't want to tell her, but they also aren't strict enough about it to stand up to a pest.
it'd be highly amusing if "how did you know?" was just their way of getting her to stop calling. the same way you deal with children who won't leave you alone.
