"In my current role as a sonographer in a small critical access hospital, our emergency department had a woman come in that was experiencing severe pains during her fifth month of pregnancy. Being on call that night, I was called in to perform an ultrasound after she was examined by the physician and nursing staff in the ED. After my initial ultrasound, I was getting good readings from the baby and the overall health of the baby wasn't a concern at that moment. I ensured the patient that her baby was in great shape and I suggested to the ED team that the patients OB physician should see her right away in the morning. Having access to the docs patient schedule, I scheduled the appointment for the morning. In following up, the patient was experiencing pains from some bad food she had eaten the day prior. Even though mostly a false alarm, I was glad I was able to put the patients mind at east that night."
