When you walk in, you go past the security guy.

Hey, what's up, bo.

And the metal detectors, which are not standard issue at clinics where I've worked in other parts of the country.
voice-verified
There are some key card access doors.

You can go straight into the waiting room if you're a patient, or into the back, a labyrinth of hallways and locked doors, which leads you to where the medical staff hangs out.
voice-verified
Pretty calm here.

Kate, one of the nurses here, is prepping for the day by filling syringes with lidocaine, which is used for numbing patient cervixes before procedures.

On the other side of the hall, Catalina, one of the medical assistants, is prepping the procedure rooms.

On a day like today, I'm usually there with another doctor from out of state, and a handful of nurses, medical assistants, and other staff.

We'll see anywhere from 30 to 60 patients, about 20 to 30 for medication abortions who receive a pill and pass their pregnancy at home, and 15 to 25 for surgical abortions.
voice-verified
These days, about a third to half of our surgical abortions are DNEs, procedures for people 14 weeks and beyond.

At the clinics where I've worked in blue states, there are at most one or two second trimester cases a day.

The back area of the clinic is where we're hanging out all day charting, seeing patients, and drinking coffee.
voice-verified
There's a small lab for patients to get their hemoglobin levels checked, and other lab tests, two curtain off areas for ultrasounds, and a central counter where all the clinicians buzz around and shuttle patients from one area to another.
voice-verified
This is what makes Catalina so upset about the anti abortion protesters outside the clinic.
voice-verified
The morning is pretty quiet with everyone taking care of their own tasks until the morning huddle with all the medical staff.
voice-verified
Ever since SB eight and now Dobbs, morning huddle has been even more important than it used to be.
voice-verified
Trusswoman's staff is operating at near full capacity every day, and so the efficiency of their systems are paramount.
