...I already have the black plastic yoke tag that Littmann makes, and I sent the little aluminum tag off to have my name engraved. However, I'm a bit paranoid of it taking a hike and I know if a person REALLY wanted it, they could cut that tag off (yeah I know, paranoid, right?

). I was thinking of sending the steth off to stethoscope.com and having them laser engrave my name on the bell. It will cost ~$35, but do you think its worth it? I'm only a first year in nursing school, but I've heard these Littmanns last a while, and I could probably use it well into my career...I'd think the engraving would outlast the plastic yoke tag, although that's fairly thick as well.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
