Neck ultrasound - 4/10/12

Not so sure I am satisfied with my neck ultrasound this afternoon. First of all, I requested that the same person that did my last two do it this time - that didn't happen.

Then, this tech's idea of an ultrasound was placing the wand thing at three different places along the base of my neck. And she was going to stop there! Holy smokes. So I said to her, "Aren't you going to get the back and sides?" as she was starting to wipe up my neck. She replied, "Oh sure, if you want." "Yes, please, since that is how it was done the last two times."So once again, she put the wand thing below my ears on each side. Whatever. At least she did more than she had planned to do. I kept on thinking to myself, 'I think I want to ask my primary doc to order a full/careful neck ultrasound because I am not happy with the one done today', or 'I wonder if my second opinion Endo does her own neck ultrasounds, and if so, would she do one for me?'

Well, at least the tech was personable.
