I’m not a stereotypical guy in at least one respect: When I’m sick, I go to the doctor.
There’s none of this macho “I’m only coughing up blood; it will go away” kind of denial for me. I want to know what’s wrong.
This trait may be rare among males, but it’s even less common among Latinos. We know, for example, that fewer Hispanics crowd into emergency rooms than other ethnicities, despite what you may have heard about ERs going bankrupt because of undocumented Latinos overrunning them.
