El Norte Clinica Medico was inspected after the death of [|Magdalena Rodriguez]. The medical board said that the only staff were the abortionist and his receptionist, Shirley. Shirley "greets patients, explains procedures, obtains the medical consent, and initial intake information... and has no medical training."

At [|Hedd Surgi-Center], inspectors found poor sanitation and infection control, unlicensed and unqualified staff, out of date medications, mold on the breathing tubes, and mouse droppings in the operating room.

At [|Dadeland]: Two unlicensed staff were performing patient care: an employee who had dropped out of school in the ninth grade was prepping patients, prepping and sterilizing equipment, assisting during abortions, packaging fetal remains for pathology tests using a blood-contaminated kitchen strainer, and dispensed and administered medications; the other unlicensed employee monitored the patients in the recovery room. Laboratory tests were performed on-site by unlicensed personnel.
