Misused butterfly ultrasound on pregnant wife

If anyone could offer reassurance I am having high anxiety attacks that I potentially harmed my baby. My husband is a med student and came home with a butterfly ultrasound machine. I am recently pregnant for the first time and at my first appt they tried doing an abdominal ultrasound (not sure why the doctor did not do transvaginal) but could not find an embryo or anything inside the gestational sac. When I came home I wanted to double check it since I didn’t feel like they did it right (it was a first year family medicine resident). We were able to find what we think is an embryo in the gestational sac (see picture) but we were trying to find a heart rate and we’re using color Doppler and power mode and tried the m-mode as well. When I told my brother this (who is a first year EM resident) he said an attending OBGYN had told him not to use color Doppler since it causes higher frequency waves. We were using the machine for about an hour on and off and I can’t sleep or eat or think thinking I either caused hyperthermia of the fetus (I didn’t know ultrasound can increase tissue temperature) or that the frequency waves will affect the fetal brain development (there was a study linking autism to first trimester ultrasounds) Honestly I wish I could naturally miscarry and start over. I’ll never forgive myself. Are there any radiologists trained and educated in fetal ultrasound that could give some guidance or any reassurance?

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
