Walk through the doors of an abortion clinic in this powerful memoir from a nurse who has been there.
Abortion is an emotionally charged topic. Morality, social justice, religion, and law have transformed an intimately personal medical choice into an intensely collective debate.
But, behind the heated rhetoric are the very real stories of women who have felt alone, scared, and helpless. There are also the stories of the people who work at the clinics. It’s time to remove politics from the conversation in the United States and shine a light on the multifaceted medical and personal experiences from the inside.
Patrice D’ Amato, RN
I am a working nurse pushing almost 40 years in the biz, having done everything from working in a neurosurgical intensive care unit to abortion care. I taught nursing for 15 years, and most recently, I wrote a book!
I believe that it’s high time that nurses speak up about what we do as we walk alongside all of you on your journeys of birth, death, and everything in between! I chose to write about my experiences working in abortion care knowing that it is one of the most poorly understood aspects of healthcare today.
