30 years ago tonight, another
medicine intern and myself (and our dates) went to the Houston Galleria theaters and caught the second showing of the new film, "Star Wars". There were free 'May the Force Be With You" buttons, and local TV interviewing folks as they left the theater. For the next couple of weeks, as we passed each other in the Methodist Hospital hallways, we'd fight each other with our imaginary light sabers, and all the other MD's and nurses would roll their eyes, and think, the intern year is almost over, thank God...
