Dr Pretorius could not clearly identify the insertion spot of the umbilical cord on the ultrasaund image, so she hurried to diagnoze abnormality. When asked for some background on the subject she tried scaring us by mentioning all the bad outcomes instead of providing some useful info. She repeatedly said that we are lucky that she was there to notice the abnormality, as she has a lot of experience in these matters. She behaved as if she was our savior, and made quite a bit of a show in front of the two trainees that accompanied her. She did not provide any useful information on the "abnormality". Instead she kept saying we should make sure that our next visit will be on her shift. Highly unrecommended doctor.
