Patients come here to terminate their pregnancies for a variety of reasons, often reluctantly and under difficult circumstances.
Many climb onto the operating table in tears.

Jian Shuyao said to the nurse and doctor, "Let's begin, Doctor."
The doctor and nurse put on their masks and took out the cold, metallic instruments.
A huge syringe filled with anesthesia was brought in front of Jian Shuyao.
Jian Shuyao clenched her eyes shut, and tears streamed down her temples, slowly seeping into her ears, into her hair.
She bit her teeth, refusing to cry any more.
The room was eerily quiet.
It seemed even the doctor and nurse were holding their breath.
Jian Shuyao knew that once the drug was injected into her, she would lose all consciousness.
The anesthesia would take away the pain, and also the experience of losing the child.
