Ultrasound: 2 kinds

There are 2 kinds of ultrasound:

Vein ultrasound- for sticking people properly with needles and IV drips, shallow ultrasound. Ask a head nurse or EM tech to show you how to use this...very handy and helpful when putting needles in correctly. Great for use on senior patients and drug users when you can't find a vein visibly.

Abdominal Ultrasound-deep depth, internal ultrasound for your stomach and bones, internal organ inspection. Only the doctors will likely know how to use this. Make a good relationship with them first before you ask them on this one.
