Am I asking too much?

[Art_Vandelay]

So...I had a recent need to utilize the county health clinic and the "nurse" called me back. She didn't introduce herself and wasn't wearing a badge. She asked me questions regarding history, gave me the shot and that was it. Now, I realize the occasional, "whoops, I forgot my badge today," but it is a pet peeve of mine of healthcare providers not wearing identification. Even then, this person didn't even introduce herself. I realize that health care nowadays has a lot bigger problems than someone wearing a badge, but...really, it is too much too ask? Anyone have other pet peeves?

I'm with you, they should tell you who they are AND wear a badge.
