[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is with all of you siding with the tech?? It doesn’t matter if the tech was drunk or not - OP if you felt something was weird change techs. No need to say anything about the alcohol just say you would prefer a different tech. This is your baby and if you don’t feel something is right go with your gut. You must advocate for yourself.

I don't read people siding with the tech. (And it isn't unanimity that "so unanimous that the US tech couldn’t have been drunk" when people are saying things like, "Obviously, I don't know whether your US tech had been drinking alcohol.")

There are people saying there could be other explanations. That's not saying it couldn't happen, that's saying there could be other explanations. At least one or two people here seem to think rushing to judgment is justified, and if the rest of us don't join in, we're somehow behind.

Nothing wrong with bringing up questions or concerns. Saying you are sure when you aren't is, well, more about you than the situation. [/quote]

when it comes to preventing medical errors, searching for "alternative plausible explanations" is not really the way to go.  If you have any reason to believe that there may be an error or poor care - you need to speak up -- especially if you are pregnant woman.  Not speaking up is how pregnant women end up dying of pre-eclampsia.

It doesn't matter if she's sure or not, or even if she thinks she's sure or not. She has enough reason for concern to insist on a follow-up scan and a different tech. She has no reason to hold back for fear of insulting someone.  [/quote]
