Every year there’s always a few really ticklish patients that struggle to get through their ultrasounds. They squirm, they huff, they squeeze their eyes shut really tight and they tense up every muscle in their body. It’s alarming to a tech doing an ultrasound. And its a difficult exam to complete.
