Stethoscope ID tag

A lot of nurses where I work have dog tags (not military tags, actual tags like you would put on your puppy) zip tied to their stethoscopes. I don't because I don't want to be a copycat, but my stethoscope is engraved. Another nurse wanted to get his engraved and said the place he went to refused to do it because it would mess up the sound, but mine seems fine.

The dog tag idea is a good one! My stethoscope is engraved (my dad got it for me for Christmas from allheart.com), my last stethoscope had one of the id tags that I ordered at the same time. I have a Littmann. When the engraving wears off (a few of my coworkers have had that happen since it seems that it's more printed than actually engraved), I'll just order an id tag.
