Her point was that it's best to be cautious with any medical technology. Those sound waves do reach the fetus and in the hands of trained personal, it's safe. But what is the training of the mall personal? Can they tell when a machine is functioning correctly and who do they have on staff in case something goes wrong?

I'll admit that I had not a care in the world about ultra-sound before she talked to me about it. It was a lesson in prudence that I appreciated.
