Then your name is once again called out for all in the waiting room to hear by yet another unidentified person and you're escorted to a room by someone who then takes your medical information and vital signs. Again no identification on that person. At last the person you came to see comes in and identifies him/her self. The assistant with the Doctor or PA or NP has no name tag. So you have no idea who is privy to your information. Not even a first name. Not a verbal introduction. Isn't it time we all demand that staff in a doctor's office be identified by a name tag with at least their first name and their credentials. Otherwise, if there's a problem, when asked who you spoke to, you're reduced to describing hair, clothes and complexion. Ridiculous. I'm a retired medical professional who starting, as a student, proudly wore my name and credentials and always introduced myself to the person with who I was about to ask to disrobe in front of me!

What did your doctor say when you brought it to his/her attention?
