10 years in echo. Moderate cervical spinal stenosis, DDD, 4 herniated disks, spinal cord compression and new neck injury this past Friday. Constant severe pain has drastically changed my quality of life.

I have been a tech for 23 yrs. I have had right shoulder surgery and have moderate bursitis of my left hip. I work daily with pain but do so because i continue to love what i do.

Having some tighter regulations would allow us to scan longer in years and feel more like we are appreciated for the better work we can provide than we when are inured or hurried on the job.

Work-related injuries in the field of sonographic are real and concerning in that it affects a great deal of people.

I’ve had 4 job related surgeries, the last of which have ended my long career as a sonographer. Something MUST be done about this!

Using outdated Ultrasound machines that are not ergonomically correct should be banned

I have been scanning for 4 years now, and I recently changed jobs due to the fact I was over worked. My new job has started to over work all of the ultrasound techs. I have bad shoulder pain and back pain. The pain is so bad sometimes I have to go and get regular massages every couple of months. Doctors need to be using clinical skills instead of ordering everything on the patient.

I started my current job three years ago, only scanning 8-10 patients per day, in three years it's more than doubled what I do on a daily basis. It's nothing for me to scan 15 patients to 20 per day and call is rediculous. No restraints put on rediculous orders. Everything is treated as stat! If you can't get them on your schedule they are crammed through the ER. Doctors need to use their clinical skills and limits need to be put on how many patients sonographers can scan per day. I had my first bout with a shoulder issue with 10 days ago, these are real and excruciating!

Some type of regulations need to be addressed in the ultrasound industry. Job sites need to be help responsible for providing a safe, ergonomic, working environment. Machines can be replaced, but our bodies cannot.

We need regulations to keep us healthy. Something must be done for the safety of all in this wonderful field.
