Hello Charles,

    Im the RSO at Scripps Clinin in La Jolla CA, this is what I do, but 
I would like to hear from you as to what other people are doing.  If 
you could send me a summary of responses, I would appreciate it.

    
a.  outside apron at the collar

b   I badge several Cath lab and interventional radiologist with 2 
badges.

    1. 1 is worn under the lead apron at waist hieght and the other is 
worn outside the apron on the collar.

    2. I have the vender label them as inside and outside.  you can 
also put different color tape on them.  Such as Yellow for bellyand so 
on.

c.  On the dose report i have both readings listed and i also have the 
vendor perform the webster's calculation to determine the TEDE dose 
based on the two badge readings.

Well I hope this helped.
