As a practicing Sonographer and one who has to visit their chiropractor twice a week and a massage therapist twice a month just to not be in -so- much pain from scanning, I fully support this petition.

The hospital doesn't care if I get hurt, they just want us to churn out the patients. We need help!

I’ve been a sonographer for almost 10 years and because of it, I may be looking at shoulder surgery in the near future.

Way too many carrers are being cute short due to job related injuries. Our patients are getting bigger which is just making it harder on our bodies.

I have only been scanning 6 years and already having neck and shoulder pain. The pain is causing numbness and tingling down my arm to my thumb. I'm sure surgery will eventually been inevitable :-(
