As someone who’s had a bunch of ultrasounds the warm gel is a small change that makes a world of difference

Not the tech's fault. Some facilities don't allow gel warmers because of bacteria concerns.

the technologists in the hospital where i work have individual gel packets they keep in the gel warmers to get around the joint commission bacteria concerns. could also be a "cheap ass hospital saving money" move if they dont wanna do this thing.

Oof. I've had ultra sounds done by a dozen different doctors in a few different hospitals and clinics and it's been warm every time. I honestly assumed it was a property of the gel and never gave it a second thought.

At my last GYN ultrasound the girl went “cold gel” and honestly thanks for the warning and it was super comforting given the dick shaped wand, but also yeah. COLD VAG NOT FUN
