Allowing patient's to know my first and last name is not necessary, and would absolutely make me feel less secure. Hospital settings involve our interaction with patients who are not always behaviorly stable, and it should absolutely be up to me whether to provide this information. Please DO NOT risk my safety and peace of mind!!
