Introduction: We have not heard from our most proficient writer for a while, so I am sharing one of her reflections again. Pam Adelstein is a former resident of the Family Health Center of Worcester, and now the Medical Director at Fenway Health. She writes regularly for Pulse and this is another one of her previously published pieces published in September 2023. In the short story she reminds us about the special relationship we have with our children as family physicians - they get grossed out at times, are fascinated at other times, and ultimately, really have our number. Enjoy.
