Nae Nae I think the guy was having a bad day & unfortunately you copped it. I had a lady once who was having a bad day & she was so rude I almost cried, it was for my early scan so I was pretty much there just to see a heartbeat & she made me feel like I had no right to be having the scan so early & was very rough poking the thigy into my belly etc.
I think it's just the luck of the draw who you get & going public doesn't mean you don't deserve just as much as anyone else. Everyone is entitled to a good experience when seeing their bubba, whether you're private or public & whether it's your first or 6th baby.

I would suggest you get a 3D done, maybe around 28-30 weeks? I'll be booking mine soon for 30 weeks. You can also get a 4D done too which is the 3D in real time (moving) & they can make a DVD for you. This does cost extra, well at least where I'll be going it does.

I hope your next experience will be a pleasant one, don't ever think that you deserve anything less.

No offense to anyone but im totally against male sonographers. I have never heard anything good about them!
Heres the first good thing then LOL
My 19 week scan was done by a male & I agree I felt a bit strange about it at first as I've always only ever had woman do my scans.
I have to say he was so kind, he explained everything to us, any questions we had he answered & took his time with the explanation.
When he checked for the gender of the baby he got it in the right spot, looked at us with a smile & asked what we would guess. I said boy because I could see the little boy bits (after seeing so many u/s pics on here I knew what I was looking for) DH said he didnt know. Then the guy said "yep, you've got quite the exhabitionist there, it's a boy." Then he explained to DH what he was looking at.

I walked away from the place with a big smile on my face & feeling great about the experience we just had. I will never make a judgement like that again & I felt bad within myself for judging him before I even gave him a chance.

Now I'm not saying this to try to make you look or feel bad, I just didn't want others to avoid a male without knowing that there are some great ones out there who do a wonderful job.
