Had ultrasound done and the male tech. was sooo rude, rough, unfriendly and I honestly just wanted to get up and not only not continue the test but not even stay for my appointment. He was pressing the device into my breast/chest area so hard for so long the pain was intolerable, it felt like he could break a rib and he couldn't care less, it was as though he thought of me as just an inanimate object on the table that could withstand the excruciating force he was applying into my tissues and ribs. Even after I told him I didn't know how much longer I could take it he just said "you're going to have to, it's hard to get images on you". It's several weeks later and the entire area is still in agony with blackish/blue bruises still visible, just taking breathes in is still painful. Honestly I feel someone so apathetic towards patients and their suffering should not work in the medical field, it's too disheartening and dangerous.
