Hannah was stunned in devastation for a while. The moment she regained her composure, her first thought was to get rid of the baby as soon as possible. She turned to the doctor frantically and asked, " Doctor, when is the soonest appointment for the abortion surgery?" 5
"If you want, I can arrange it for you next week, the earliest is next Monday." 5
Hannah was startled and panicked when she heard that she had to wait until Monday, and she asked anxiously, "Why do I have to wait until Monday? If it's about money, I can pay double or ten times the price!" i
The situation was so serious right now, one day of delay meant a higher possibility that her pregnancy would be discovered. She couldn’t help but be in jitters. 1
The doctor shook her head and stated, "It's not about the money, but only clinic visits are available during the weekend, there are no scheduled operations. If you want to abort the baby, you have to wait until Monday." 1
"Alright... let's do it on Monday, then."
Hannah's expression shifted into a grimace. She was panicked, but she had to accept her fate... 6
After all, she could not take matters into her own hands!
Abortion was serious, and in addition to her age, it would be risky and even fatal if she did it herself... 4
The doctor said again, "I'll prescribe some oral medicine as well as some ointments. Take it home and take them to control the condition. After the abortion surgery, we will carry out systematic treatment for your STDs.”
Hannah nodded profusely. "Thank you, doctor, thank you!"
The doctor waved her hand and said, "By the way, you'd better ask your husband to check it up too. Gonorrhea and syphilis are generally transmitted through sexual intercourse. If you have had sex with your husband recently, he has likely infected you, or you have infected him. In fact, these two diseases are extremely contagious, so you'd better advise him to do the blood test as well. If both of you are infected, you can do the treatment together as a form of support and encouragement." 6
