I’m 19 years old and really looking into being an ultrasound tech. It’s the only job that has ever appealed to me. Hearing how hard the schooling is has really made me second-guess myself. I guess what I’m trying to ask is how hard is the schooling? Is it worth it? I’m just looking into getting more information about it. submitted by /u/pinkflowers56 to r/Ultrasound [link] [comments]

I went in for my 20 week ultrasound. My husband had been watching ultrasound videos to practice to see if we could guess if we were having a boy or a girl. Well baby gets into this position and I very loudly said "that's how big their penis is????" ...anyway we're having a girl and I felt pretty dumb finding out it was her leg lol. submitted by /u/Most-Earth-9187 to r/Radiology [link] [comments]

Im 4w1d today according to my app. My doctor referred me to an early ultrasound/dating scan because i am high risk and had a little bit of brown spotting/cramping last week. With my other 2 pregnancies the ultrasound tech would explain what they see and what theyre looking for. I know theyre not meant to give a diagnosis or tell you much but this one didnt even let me see the screen which was a first for me. He made absolutely no comment. He asked me if i have been in pain and i said yes some cramping. He then walked out the room and said your results will be in with your doctor tomorrow. How do i wait until tomorrow? Even with my pregnancy test line progression my lines have been getting darker at the start but now it stays the same. Im worried its a chemical pregnancy. Has anyone else had a similar situation where the ultrasound tech made them get so worried but it turned out to be good news? Please guys i need some hope to hold onto submitted by /u/newxomplaint to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]

Okay, I need Reddit to be brutally honest with me because my friend says I went “too far,” but I genuinely don’t see how. I (30F) am an ambulatory wheelchair user and immunocompromised. I receive care at a private fertility practice out of state where the specialist I see is extremely rare. Like, one of only a handful worldwide. So no, I cannot just “find another clinic.” The issue is the ultrasound technician (mid-40s F). She is the only tech there. Meaning: if I want care, I have to see her. Right away, she was playing Christian worship music during my ultrasounds. I’m Jewish. I politely asked if she could turn it off or play something neutral. She told me it was “fine how it was.” 🚩 Okay. Not ideal, but I tried to move on. Later, my phone alarm went off because my blood sugar was low. My phone was in my backpack attached to my wheelchair. I explained I wear a medical device and need my phone nearby for safety. She scolded me and said office policy “trumped my needs.” So I started silencing my medical alarms before appointments. Yes. I know how bad that sounds. I was scared of making waves. Then she started oversharing. Like… wildly oversharing. She told me vaccines “aren’t real science” and proudly announced she’s unvaccinated — during my ultrasound. This is a clinic full of immunocompromised patients. Including me. She complained about Medicaid. She told me my miscarriages were “God’s plan.” She told me IVF is “against the will of God.” All of this happened while I was on the table, exposed, alone, and not allowed to have a support person. But the moment that finally snapped me? She asked about the medical ride service I use to get to appointments. I said I was incredibly grateful because each trip costs around $3,000, and I could never afford that without insurance. She looked me dead in the eye and said: “It’s crap that I have to pay for that.” She does not pay for it. At all. It’s a disability waiver from my home state. I started crying. I told her I didn’t choose to have a brain tumor that destroyed parts of my brain. Her response? “Well, my dad didn’t choose to have a heart attack.” Girl. WHAT. I finally told the doctor — but only about that specific incident because I didn’t want to seem dramatic. After that? The worship music stopped… and so did basic human warmth. She became ice cold. She made me remove my phone from my backpack and put it in the bathroom. Even after the doctor explicitly gave permission for me to keep my phone due to my medical device. At my next appointment? Same thing. Phone out. Bathroom. No discussion. That’s when I told the doctor everything. The religious comments. The vaccine rants. The phone incidents. The disability comments. I also mentioned that I’d posted on the clinic’s private Facebook patient page and found multiple women describing nearly identical experiences, especially non-Christian patients feeling targeted. I didn’t show screenshots. I just explained that this wasn’t a one-off. Now my friend says I went too far and should’ve kept it limited to “just what happened that day,” instead of bringing up the past and other patients. But at what point is it not “bringing up the past” and just… telling the truth? So… AITA? submitted by /u/WheelchairWarrior30 to r/CharlotteDobreYouTube [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I’m a high school student (10th grade) trying to decide between these career options: Radiation Therapy, Ultrasound Tech, X-ray/Rad Tech, and Dental Hygienist. Right now I’m really focusing on Ultrasound Tech (Sonography), but I want to hear honest experiences from people in the field. What I care about most: 💰 Good pay 🕒 Work-life balance 🧠 Stable career with high hire-ability 🏥 Benefits (health insurance, retirement) Flexibility to have time to maybe build my own business later My thoughts on Ultrasound Tech: Seems like a good middle ground between flexibility and stability Hospitals and clinics may require some weekends/on-call depending on job Less schedule control than dental hygiene, but benefits seem better I don’t really like strict 9–5s, so having some flexibility is important Questions for anyone in the field: How flexible is your schedule really? How easy is it to find a job after certification? What kind of pay can I expect in states like WA, Colorado, Georgia, and Florida? Does the job allow for work-life balance and side projects? Would you choose this career again? Anything else you think I should hear about this career? Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate any advice! 🤍 submitted by /u/SubstantialSpread596 to r/Ultrasound [link] [comments]

Just a little rave about the ultrasound tech I had today. I am almost 10 weeks and went for a viabilty ultrasound today. I had some spotting at 6 weeks and then again this past weekend so my midwife recommended going for peace of mind (better to know now prior to NIPT testing, NT ultrasound, etc.). The tech told me that she wasn't able to give me any results, but that these were typically read by radiology quickly. She finished the transabdominal and towards the end of the transvaginal, she said "you didn't hear this from me..." and flipped the screen around so I could see the baby. She said the fetus and gestational sac were measuring as 9+5 but moving around a lot making it hard to get a good measurement, and that the heart rate was good at 160. She also gave me some cool info like this pregnancy came from my right ovary and that my uterus was squishing my left ovary. I know she broke protocol to show and tell me everything was fine, and I am forever going to be so grateful and appreciative of her telling me and giving me the peace of mind I needed. I know there's a long way to go and still plenty of risks but she gave me the greatest Christmas gift today. Thank you!!! submitted by /u/natleemarie to r/pregnant [link] [comments]
