When Kathleen Kennedy called my ER to ask if I could resuscitate an alien, I said sure. So a bunch of us, all ER doctors and nurses, went down to the set of ET, and did what came naturally - pumped on his chest, called out orders for IV's and meds, and tried to bring the little guy back to life.

I've led a life of choices, coincidences, great luck, triumphs and defeats, working in emergency rooms, Hollywood writers' rooms, recording studios, gold miners' cabins, and I want to make one thing perfectly clear - I just don't know what it is. So I keep writing to find out.

I will be featured on the Why So Sidious? Podcast on Sunday March 1st at 8 PM PST, initially airing on Youtube at www.youtube.com/@whysosidiou....
As of Monday, March 2nd, the podcast will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all other digital places.

The Jedi Medic #5: The Great Chicago Emergency Room Bus Crash
Before I wrote for Hollywood, I was an ER doc. 1st in Chicago, then in CA.
I remember a cold, Dec day, 1 of those insane days in the ER, too busy to sit. Like in the TV series, The Pitt, a pretty accurate look at what some days are like.

The Jedi Medic Ep 3: The Call to Save ET. I broke into the movie business by going to medchool, & then becoming an Emergency Room doc, eventually at St. John’s Hospital. It eventually led to writing the novelization of Return of the Jedi, but that was a 3 step process.

I've begun a substack called The Jedi Medic!

The first two posts went live today, Friday the 13th, which I take as a positive omen. Here's the link: substack.com/@thatjameskahn

Excerpt: "The memoir explicitly tailors its behind-the-scenes vignettes to Star Wars fans, pulling back the curtain on the production of Jedi and blending Luke’s heroic journey with Kahn’s own life as he came into his own as both a writer and a physician."
