Imagine being admitted to a hospital for an emergency.  Or a routine procedure.  One of the first people you meet is a nurse.  She’s polite, professional, compassionate and caring.  She knows her stuff, and you feel comfortable and confident that you are being well cared for.  Do you care, in that moment, if the nurse has “checked a box” saying she accepts her “implicit biases”?  And if she had NOT ticked such a box, would you want her fired?  Meet a nurse who, after 39 years, was fired for not checking a particular box.  She joins Michele.
