...employee at a Windsor Street clinic reported that a man entered, demanding service. When she explained to him the clinic's procedures, he became angry, saying "If I ever see you in the street, I'll kill...

Only the short length of his white coat betrays his status as a doctor-in-training--an M.D. after four years of medical school, he examines patients, writes prescriptions, orders tests and fills out insurance forms...
