Loved this video Geselle! It seems like all of the information you talked about really does vary per your employer. Some make it easier than others with the automatic transfer of information, whereas others have to create their own templates or write it all out manually.

A question that I have is about "incidental findings".. How do you go about documenting those for the Radiologist or doctor to explore more? Assuming, correct me if I'm wrong, you discover something accidentally just as the name implies while scanning a specific organ or another part of the body, but you can't just leave it out if you notice it right? Do you then explore the other organ automatically for them ahead of time or do you note it and suggest a further exam for that finding?
@lolgeselle3 жыл бұрын
Yes Michael!!! You’re exactly right! It varies and is different everywhere but we all generally learn how to write them and describe during class / clinicals 🥰
@lolgeselle3 жыл бұрын
@@Mm1991530052 yessss you’re exactly right TOO when it comes to incidental findings!!! That’s you being a tech that goes ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty. Some other techs may ignore something they see on accident, but the ones who TRULY care will make note, will investigate… you can write on your report “incidental finding” and what they will do eventually is order the appropriate exam. For example, if I’m doing a renal scan but somehow see gallstones in the gallbladder, I will take photos of that.. and check the CBD, state “incidental finding” and call it a day. (Seeing that the gallstones weren’t already known/ documented recently). If it was already known you don’t HAVE to but in cases where you feel the incidental finding should be shown or known, DEFINITELY mention them! Pleural effusions are something that are commonly incidentally found for example! This is a GREAT question! Thanks for bringing it up!!! 🙌🏽

It was super incredible and educating to watch this rare image of a patient coming into the doctor's office regarding her abnormal health concern. Just to find out later that she happened to have been pregnant. Also, to learn that her placenta and baby is outside of her uterus. License sonographers like you save people's lives on a daily basis - just by simply over-checking the scan and abdomen area where the pain seems to be occurring within them. Thank you so much for disseminating and sharing this learningful video with us upcoming sonographers. This will truly teach us the vital essence of double-checking our diagnosis prior to firmly declaring the finding(s) in them.

I think your honestly one of my new favorite channels to watch at the moment, I really don't know what to do in life or what path I want to take I've always felt lost, but recently this career really started to peak my interest after I saw a job posting for it. Sonography courses are a little scarce where I am and I find that to be kinda weird considering I'm in Ontario. The closest college for any courses regarding Sonography is about a 2 hour drive away from me, the rest are very very far but I'm really starting to consider taking the closest one! Your literally a beacon of hope for me right now and I'm sure alot of other people feel the same way! I really look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for existing! I also love how I'm seeing a lot of people in the same situation as myself, it makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this and that its completely natural to feel lost sometimes!

I’ve never scanned an appendix. I saw a couple during my clinical rotations. But where i work, CT is the modality to do to confirm appendicitis. Other scanning i do have to do that makes it difficult to see is a pancreas transplant. Those suckers are either you see it or you don’t. And the worst part is that it looks just like other tissue, so it blends in. And then you have gas and bowel making it even hard to see the txps. Another scan that is my nemesis is scanning an arteriovenous fistula in the upper extremity. Those things a monster to scan. I scanned one today that was completely clotted all the way through.
@lolgeselle3 жыл бұрын
We are a children's hospital so we get plenty of appendix studies! They never do a CT for peds unless they absolutely have to. Of course CT is the gold standard. Transplants are always tricky! Haha, AV fistulas are definitely something that tests your patience and anatomy. You are so awesome for scanning through them and getting the job done!

Omg I am just binging all of your videos right now ! I just finished the RN vs ultrasound tech because that is exactly my struggle decision right now, and it’s even better to know you also live in Las Vegas !! I’m currently going to csn in the lpn program and was going to do the bridge, but I really think ultrasound is where I want to be … I just feel very discouraged when I see your screens and exams I just have no clue and feel like I would never understand 😭😭 I would love to know what school you went to for your program and how the general program was for you as far as the r teachers and the overall learning experience… sorry if I’m asking so much lol 🤦🏽♀️ just very anxious and would love the inside scoop from someone in my same state .
@lolgeselle3 жыл бұрын
Hi Atiana! Well, you're asking the right person. Lol. I wanted to be a nurse but realized nursing wasn't for me. I suggest shadowing because it will really hit the nail on the head for you. Once I realized ultrasound was it, I jumped in head first. Don't feel discouraged. WE ALL start somewhere. WE ALL start off not knowing what we're looking at. And that's where school comes in. It teaches you. It prepares you. The only 2 programs in Vegas are UNLV and CSN. UNLV is a bachelors program and CSN is an associates program. They're both great programs.. just depends which route you want to go. Overall, UNLV and CSN will both prepare you for a job as many techs graduate from these two programs. The ultrasound community is small out here so everyone pretty much knows each other. I hope this answer finds you well!

How exactly does the night shift work if you’re not in the ER? You obviously aren’t having outpatients come in for appointments in the middle of the night, so how does that work? Love your channel, I’m relatively new here. Starting my prerequisites at the end of August! :)
@lolgeselle3 жыл бұрын
Hi Clarissa! Welcome to the fam so happy to have you here!!! If you’re not in the ER on night shift, usually we try to get to pediatric babies, ICU/ intubated patients. And if there aren’t any (but in our hospital there’s always a lot to do) we scan routine patients upstairs. But our hospital is super busy where the ER is kinda non-stop on graves 😅 most hospitals have on-call shifts on nights so you don’t even get called in sometimes and when you do you only come in for the STAT ER exams. Maybe 1-3 patients a night.. I’ve worked at busier on call hospitals and the most I did was 6 patients on call. 😬 I hope this answer makes sense lol!
