I live in Rockingham County, which is where I grew up. I love living here and I'm proud to serve this community. Most of the time, with a little bit of conversation, two people can quickly establish at least one mutual aquaintence. Which is why I feel it's important for medical staff to have just their first name and last initial on their badge. There are last names in this community that are specific to a certain area in the county, and so it makes a person, or family easy to find. One of my co-workers has one of these last names. A male patient showed up, with flowers, at the home of her Uncle and said, "I knew that if I could find one of you, you'd be related to her. Tell me where she lives." It's that kind of story that makes me want to take a piece of tape and cover my last name.
