A Canberra Hospital sonographer has lost an unfair-dismissal case after being dismissed over ultrasound errors in a high-risk pregnancy unit. The case matters because it concerned clinical accuracy in a setting where mistakes can affect pregnant patients and unborn babies.

The sonographer, Joy Biradee, alleged that her supervisor was attracted to her, apparently as part of her challenge to the dismissal. However, the Fair Work Commission rejected her unfair-dismissal claim; no further findings or detailed evidence are provided in the supplied article text.
