Sonography diagnoses illnesses and diseases during their early stages. Early detection allows doctors to provide proper medical treatment—treatment that could mean the difference between life and death.
And if you have a compassionate heart and can show empathy for those diagnosed with life threatening diseases, such as cancer, you’ll be a God-send. When a patient is given “bad” news, he/she needs someone there who can lend an ear, share a prayer, and even offer a shoulder to cry on.
Once the “bad” news is given, the patient will return to you, the sonographer, for follow-up tests. During those tests, your patient may experience anxiety or break down in tears—fearing the worse. It’ll be your job to provide comfort and empathy, to calm down your patient so that you can obtain an accurate reading.
