I am 34 years old and have been scanning for 12 years. I already have a bad shoulder, bilateral carpal tunnel, tendinitis in my wrists, tennis elbow, and back pain. We are expected to scan too many patients with no breaks. A lot of us feel our only option is to leave the profession. It’s very upsetting.

This is long overdue. As medical facilities cut budgets, our work loads are increasing due to fewer sonographers. Not only is this an MSK issue - it’s also a quality issue. Our profession requires US to see things for diagnoses. We all know that when we are tired and in pain, things get missed. Our patients need something in place as well.

Love this! Was scanning 20-30 patients a day and crying in pain from the tendonitis! Quit and couldn't be happier with a less patient load!
