Mrs. Adams' Ultrasound Examination
Storyboard Text
- 2. Hello dear. Yes, I want to know if it's going to hurt. How long will it take? I don't really understand what will happen.
- Good afternoon Mrs. Adams. I am Juniper, the sonographer and I'll be doing your ultrasound examination. I will explain what the entire procedure entails, and you may ask me any questions related to it.
- 2. I will first insert sterile salt water into your uterus to stretch it slightly, which will enable us to obtain detailed images.
- 3. Into my vagina! I don't know if I want to do that. It sounds unpleasant and uncomfortable. Isn't there another way?
- 1. We must do a transvaginal ultrasound, which requires me to insert a small probe into your vagina. It is a simple and painless procedure, and only a small part of the probe will be inserted.
- 3. I really do not like the idea of placing anything into my vagina. What is this thing - this probe - anyway? How big is it exactly?
- 1. Yes there is another way, but this particular procedure is preferred in your case, since it is the least costly method that will provide the best possible images of your uterus; for your doctor's assessment.
- 2. I assure you that any discomfort will be minimal, and the entire procedure won't take longer than 60 minutes.
- 2. I don't know. You are certain it won't hurt? It sounds quite involved.
- 1. It is a hand-held device which I will show you now. I will cover the probe with a latex condom and finally coat the covered tip of the probe with a gel lubricant, to insert it comfortably. It is not a big device, and the gel will facilitate ease of insertion.
- 3. I assure you ma'am; it won't be painful. However, if you need more time to think about it, or if you want to do the alternative, you are free to do so.
- 1. Well, I might as well go through with it. There's no point in delaying. If it will produce the best possible results, then I will close my eyes and agree to it. Let's start before I change my mind.
- 2. Wonderful! and I will be right by your side throughout the entire procedure. You can trust me. I will go get everything ready.
- 3. Then you may go ahead dear. I will try to cooperate as best as I can.
- 1. Alright. No one else will be in the room during the procedure, right? Because I won't be comfortable with anyone else present.
- 2. It will just be you and I ma'am. And I will try to make you as comfortable as possible.
- 4. Let's begin then.
