What interests me here is the adherence to using the "Patient [Initials]" format for naming the individuals in these videos, because this is typically a practice reserved for case study subjects who are still alive for the sake of privacy. Despite this, the subjects of these videos are dead, meaning that it's perfectly legal and scientifically ethical to use the subjects' real names, and the "2 drops of mercury" individual even has her own Wikipedia article specifically focusing on the accident that killed her.

My best guess is that this is done out of courtesy for the departed and their friends & family and/or because it's still somewhat standard practice to use the "Patient [Initials]" formula if most scientific literature on the subject was published within their lifetime (e.g. Henry Molaison, a famed case study for the location and function of the memory circuits following an early, crude form of anti-epilepsy surgery that cut out much of his hippocampus & amygdala and the surrounding cortices, is still oftentimes referred to as Patient HM over a decade after his death in 2008).
