Sometimes I think our smart-phones are getting just a little too smart. Apparently there is a sonogram attachment, so you basically perform a minor medical procedure on yourself and see how far along your pregnancy is.
First off, it looks like a dildo. Lets just get that out of the way right now. Secondly, I am pretty sure that trained professionals administer sonograms, so it probably isn’t something you want to fool around with. Thirdly, what would you do if you realized your baby looked like a monkey without any medical staff around to answer your questions? Lastly, are we so far removed from human contact that we would rather take an x-ray of our own uterus in our bathroom than hoof it over to a doctor’s office?
A sonogram attachment might be a great way to tell if you are pregnant if you don’t feel like experiencing the shame of buying a pregnancy test or Plan B at the pharmacy for the third time this month, but for people who actually want to carry their babies to term (turning a blind eye, Emily) , I say skip the home tech devices and get thyself to a doctor, henceforth.

I would love that transducer for my iPhone, but only because I’m a registered ultrasound tech.. The average person will not have the slightest clue what they’re looking at. It’s so cool though.
so cool! and we love your job!
