[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three times, we've had people in my clinic raise concerns about patients smelling of alcohol, and each time we figured out it was the scent of the hand sanitizer.

Obviously, I don't know whether your US tech had been drinking alcohol. I can tell you it is normal to ask the questions she was asking, and that she would not read the ultrasound -- just do it. If the images were substandard, the radiologist would have them redone. Usually someone checks before the patients leave.

OP here. Aha thanks so much for responding. I wanted to see if this is a thing that sometimes happens. Maybe it was the hand sanitizer![/quote]

Maybe. I would not be surprised.

Regardless, I would recommend that you talk to your OB about your concerns regarding your records not being sent over, the smell of alcohol, and any thoughts about why your first child was born early. These questions are all relevant to you feeling comfortable with your care and to your provider understanding your state of mind.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks so much. I will speak to my OB soon about this.[b] The tech said it sounds like I have an incompetent cervix. [/b]My OB did not mention any cervix issues in previous appointments. I know my records for my first birth were sent to my current OB office. I have moved to another state since my first birth. My OB is new.

Yeah, that's getting into the tech diagnosing things, they're not supposed to do that. [/quote]
