This week Anita Kostecki, a graduate of the Family Health Center for Worcester who now works at Boston Medical Center (BMC), shares with us a story from her training days. I too did an elective at the hospital she writes about in Texas many years ago. Her recollection resonates with my own experience of being amongst good ol' boys that brought out both positive and negative feelings in me. However, I think Anita captures an important nuance of the complexities of individuals in our midst who outwardly appear one way and inwardly can produce actions that are very different. I applaud her sentiments.
