"I’m an ER tech and even assisting the nurses with straight caths is nauseating. I have to look away every time. I can’t imagine what VCUG is like for the patients."


"I’m an X-ray tech and I’ve been lucky to avoid performing these in my 15 years. I simply couldn’t handle the sounds."


"My mom was an X-ray tech and said she would never let this be done to a child."


"It is so wrong to put kids through a procedure known to inflict similar impacts as [child sexual abuse]. That it is made out to be no big deal is unconscionable."


"I’m an X-ray tech. I have only ever seen [one VCUG] done on a 4-year-old while I was a student. I always said I would never force that on anyone. It was awful."


"I was 7 and the room was full of medical students—it was dehumanizing."


"Painful, humiliating, and completely violating. I remember ever second of mine, 30 years later."


"I was subjected to this [at age] 4. I have never felt safe in this world since. Severely traumatic. Absolutely scarring."


"I was also traumatized as a preschooler and have been diagnosed with PTSD."


"I’ve had this done and I’m scared of anyone touching me down there. About to give birth and it brings back all that trauma."
