I like old movies. You know, the kind where the actors and story were more important than the CGI special effects.

I have Dr. Kildare’s Victory (1941) on right now. It’s filled with gems of medical (although not medicine) knowledge. I just laughed at this little exchange.

Two of the doctors are in the back of an ambulance racing to an emergency. One of them is dating a nurse and is worried that if the administration finds out there will be trouble.

“It’s not the nurses who usually get fired in these situations. Nurses are too valuable, interns are a dime a dozen.”

Later on there is an announcement over the public address system, “All doctors, nurses, and interns, all doctors, nurses, and interns…”

Notice the order of importance!
