From the Paper:
"For example, if the pregnancy is an ectopic one (i.e. a condition that is potentially life-threatening to the girl) then the sonographer has an obligation to notify the girl and her doctor right away. If the mother refuses to leave the room while the sonographer or the doctor tell the girl about the abnormal pregnancy or if the girl asks for her mother to be present when the sonographer or doctor discuss the results of the scan then in this case the mother should be informed along with the daughter."More papers on Sonographer:
