Full Name on ID Badge
 

I do not support full names being displayed on ID badges. It is very easy these days to track someone by knowing their full name. I am the daughter/wife of a police officer in my community. I am often associated with them when a patient/family notices my last name on my ID badge. In the past, I have had a patient, who is a convicted felon, describe in detail where I lived because of knowing my last name.
