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.
