OB/GYN Money hungry??

I went to the OB/GYN for the first time in 15 yrs. and during the exam the Dr said that my cervix felt as though it was prolapsed and scheduled me for an ultrasound, an she was pretty sure of herself as she was telling me this.Two weeks later, the ultrasound done and I call for the results and she calls me back and says there is nothing wrong and everything looks normal (???)
I can help but feel like there is some BS here. How does a doctor (supposed to be a degreed professional in their field) get that wrong? Your fingers are in my vagina and unless your lying at that moment you said you felt my cervix had dropped... Um what, did it just miraculously slip back into place??...

(MRIs cost a lot more than ultrasounds; maybe she was less money-hungry than you think.)

If you think there is fraud involved, contact the medical review board.  Cervixes don't prolapse, uteruses do, but since the cervix is simply the end of the uterus, maybe that is what she meant.  If she thought you had a prolapsed uterus, I'm a  little surprised she didn't order an MRI, since it shows soft tissue and an ultrasound doesn't do that so much.  But I'm not a doctor and would be glad to be corrected on any of these remarks.  :)
