12-14 patients in an 8hr shift it's too much.

Some kind of regulation needs to be placed regarding amount of scan time/# of exams done in a day/wks time. I would love to be able to retire from this job, but at this point, leave work in pain on a daily basis... there is no way I will last 5 more years, let alone 20.

I am suffering with multiple musculoskeletal issues due to a career that I love. These were intensified during my three pregnancies, and remain after my current hiatus. This is definitely an important issue that needs to be addressed.

I fully support this and hope that something is done to limit the number of scans to prevent injury. The human arm is not designed to be used as a lever applying pressure for 30 minutes or more per scan. There should be limits to prevent permanent damage.

I fully support strong oversight with hospitals and clinics to reduce the risk of career ending injuries. I’ve seen 3 hospitals demand more patient output with nothing in place to help their employees. Enough is enough. You go into this field with so much passion but when you can no longer function, meds, and therapies become the norm usually for the rest of your life and that is heart breaking!!!

I fully support this and hope something is done about the amount of studies we are expected to perform each shift. It should be about quality of the study not the number of studies done.

We need to stop this from happening to sonographers . We do not just push a button to take pictures. We sacrifice our body for the sake of the patients

This is a real problem and it's unfortunate that medical staff refuse to acknowledge the injuries
