Spend some time showing the group's favorite movie clips.
Tami Rudkin
A week ahead of time, ask each member of the group to bring one of his or her favorite video clips. Clarify some ground rules: the maximum length will be 3 minutes long (alter depending on the size of your group), the clip must be G-rated, the individual must be ready to explain why he loves this clip. The night you show the clips, serve popcorn, drinks, and lots of good fun. Although this barrier ...

I have a disease.
Thankfully it is treatable.
I became aware of my ill health while watching 'Patch Adams.' Towards the end of the movie, Robin Williams, as Patch Adams, fervently defends his actions as a medical student - actions that could have him thrown out of medical school.
