Ultrasound(for gallbladder) to determine stomach pains?
I ve been having a lot of digestive problems and my doctor sent me for an ultrasound this morning. The woman who did the ultrasound didn t say anything to me. When it was done all she said was my doctor will have results in two days and she sent me home. I m not sure what to think. If she saw something bad she probably wouldn t have sent me home right? Has anybody had this experience before and then when your doctor gets the results you find out there is a problem? I m just assuming everything is fine and she didn t see anything alarming because she just sent me home after the test and didn t say anything other then two day wait for results. Should I assume it s fine or could there still possibly be something wrong even though she didn t tell me and sent me home?

Hi, I just had emergency gall bladder surgery 2 weeks ago. My gall bladder has been failing for several years. I have been afraid of another bout with MRSA, so I postponed as long as possible. The people who perform the ultrasounds are technicians, not doctors. Even though they have lots of experience with their craft, they are not allowed to give you an opinion on the results. Only the doctors can do that. Performing the test is providing the doctor with the info they need to diagnose your problem. The techs cannot do that because it would be seen as practicing medicine without a license. Good luck.
