this sounds stupid but i've got to ask it. ,my wife had an ultra sound done today, already had a mamogram, needed a follow up of ultrasound on one side and a biopsy of a cyst on the other side. i presumed the hand held device would do the work, the technician was a male, who rather than hold the device at the top of the handle held it at the bottom, not wearing any gloves, meaning his hand was constantly brushing over the breast & nipple area? is this the way it's supposed to be done, if she were having a breast examination by her gp maybe, but this was a guy with an ultrasound machine, my wife didn't notice. he then decided to do the same at the other side and took no biopsy of the cyst as per the appointment letter, there was a nurse present at all times and i was also present, he gave us the all clear then and there. i felt very uncomfortable, like my wife was been indecently touched. i asked her if she was ok, i tried to return to the department to question the technician but my wife insisted i didn't. something doesn't feel right. can someone please confirm the procedure (i have watched a youtube presentation and i saw no case of the technicians hand constantly brushing and resting on breast and nipple. ) i have heard a few stories of inappropriate behaviour rearding dr's, obviously this is a sensitive issue, this man probably sees 10 pairs of breasts a day, procedure may have been followed to the letter, but it didn't look that way to me- or maybe i'm a bit over protective-maybe i shouldn't have gone to support my wife, but why wear no gloves and let his hand brush over the breast and nipples?
it has been a stressfull couple of months with this and other things, and i don't wish to over react, we got the all clear which is all that matters i suppose
