Most women have had cramps and lived, so the woman thinks it must not be too painful. Now, the woman moves into the abortion procedure area. The operating area is cool, to keep the doctor happy. There seems to be confusion here, as each team of nurses rushes around trying to keep women ready for the doctor. Each operating room has a radio, each on a different station, so there is little cross-communication between rooms.
Every effort is made to keep women from hearing other women scream during the abortion procedure.
The abortionist stops at the door of the room, picks up the chart, removes a receipt, and adds it to his stack. At the end of the day, each doctor turns in his receipts and is paid in cash. The doctors prefer this method because they have no overhead. They receive cash at the end of each day without waiting for insurance to pay. If the doctor misses the fear, the counselor helps him out.
