With home health ultrasound on the rise, we also are scanning in less ergonomically acceptable ways. All to push to hit a quota to make the CEOs more money. We feel expendable instead of appreciated.

The only other professionals that I know of who suffer from physical pain are athletes. The difference between us is that they get paid a lot more than we do for what our bodies endure.

More time needs to be given for exams and reasonable limits on exams throughout a day. I should not be in miserable pain every night when I go home.

Working with daily WRMSD's I agree 100%. Bosses please keep in mind if you are not a Sonographer, listen to our employees when purchasing equipment. We know what is ergonomically correct for what we do! A lot of my pain could of been avoided if this happened.

WRMSDs are painful, expensive, life altering, and completely avoidable.

Out patient facilities are the worst when it comes to overworking their sonographers! I worked at one for 7 years. Never again! I now work at a hospital. I stay busy, but I don't do enough to hurt myself anymore.
