Dr. Who - 50th anniversary

November the 23. the Series named "Dr. Who" had his 50. Birthday. 
Exactly 50 years ago, the broadcasting of the show started and no one believed it would be most successful. 

Seeing the Doctor traveling through time and space from the time where TV was black and white to the modern days where we have not only color TV, also we have the best technic to make the stories more believable as there where and then the characters have changed in a very interesting way, i.ex. women are no more just a beauty next to the man.
Actually, after a little break in the broadcast, two english man decided to reinvent the show and put it into the modern days, cos the story was not finished yet, they also decided to change the Doctor and his habits. 
And who did made this possible? 
The women. First of all with the character of Rose Tyler. 
She made the Doctor remember that his action has a reaction and also that he would be no better then his enemies if he goes on acting the same way they do. 
And the other women who came after Rose, when she had to leave, they followed her path. 
That's why the stories are very rich and never dull. 

So now the 50. anniversary is a day to do some important and that was to make a film in 3D. 
Thought this itself is nothing special, but as this Series goes on and on it only had one film in the beginning and never more. It really was time for that and the producers made it a big happening to show it all over the western world in cinema on the same day and only for one day. New record in Guinness Book.
I was there too and saw the movie.
How was it?
Great. The story had it all, the classic start from Dr. Who, the journeys from back to the future to back to the past, from having aliens and historical figures and settings to Galifry -the Doctors home planet. 
You will meet the Doctor at a very critical point. Himself as the enemy of his history. 
So who else could make him go on and find the right path? 
Of course it only can be Rose, which is also BAD WOLF. And then Clara, the actual companion. 

You may expect more of those brave and wonderful women but only these two will be there. How come? 
Rose is naturally there cos it is a day of history of the Doctors live and the Daleks are part of it. She also shows the Doctor the reaction he will develop. Although many known her as the always crying girl who fell in love with the Doctor, you will be surprised that they made it different now. Not only she had grown, she also is funny and clever. 
Clara on the other hand is more then just another companion. The women who died twice is an impossible thing and that is what the show is about too. Seeing the impossible and dealing with it as good as you can, because at the end, nothing is impossible and as Rose always found a way to the Doctor, so does Clara. 
Although many would have liked Donna or River Song to be part of it, I think they made the right decision to have it only with those two. You simple can't please everyone. 
Donnas Story is finished somehow and with River Song we know we will get some more adventures. Just Captan Jack should come back too.
Now as we go on talking about the movie, it is actually very speedy and funny and time flies pretty fast watching it. 
But I cannot let it be to give also a minus point. There are aliens in the story, red one. The producers did not really clear up the story around them and the Queen Elisabeth. 

On the other hand the Daleks, who are and will always be there in a good Dr. Who story, are put in in the story very well. 
Because I think having them so many times on the show it is a risk to reinvent them, but again they did not fail. 
The idea with 3D is not only the thing of time, they also found very interesting use of it, which made it really an experience to be on the cinema. But how.. I will not tell you- Spoilers! But those 3D made you feel like you are actually really in the Tardis and in the same room like the Doctor.
And yes, bow ties are cool. Many visitors had them on and also my Shizmo. 

So at least thank you Steven Moffat and Co for this Show and let's continue our travel through time and space.

the difficulties of letting die...

Today it's about dying, more precisely, to practice a gentle dying.

It's always not easy to talk about this and in the western culture people prefer not to talk about it at all until it is absolutely necessary.

Nevertheless, there are well over a million people just in germany- who have dying relatives and to deal with the question what dying with dignity must be. What is allowed? How long do a man has to suffer? What is just pain you really don't need?

The fear of dying is perfectly natural and quite the die also.

But here it is all about the fear of being delivered, and before painful symptoms in the dying phase.

Well, morphine or similar drugs have been proven as a means of pain management now. The fear of addiction goes back slowly, partly because many are aware by now that the drug plays a role not striving.

Even breathlessness relieves Morphine good, instead of producing them. Studies have already demonstrated this. There is even by many the fear of breathlessness, which may increase the fear itself.

The hunger and appetite goes away and does not hurt the body. There is no need for artificial nutrition. On the other side the thirst remains but it is enough to supply the body with a minimum of liquid, otherwise the body is overwhelmed, as in death, the kidneys adjust their work slowly. So water will come into the lungs, when you give more then a bit of water to the dying body. This can bring breathlessness. In addition to giving oxygen often makes no sense, because many have their mouths wide open and so it would drain.

And then the medicine... the most are not absolutely necessary. To much are given for a maybe...

Nevertheless, the question arises again and again. Have Doctors forgotten how to make very elderly people die naturally, as it was earlier but apparently the rule?

In recent decades, doctors have increasingly learned to do everything just what keeps life. It is difficult for them what is called the loving end of life failure to perform.

It's because they feel good with all the helpin' stuff. To not do, this is very hard and a big problem for many. They have learn to save live, no matter what. But they have often forgot to use the human mind and heart inside them self to decide what is right and what is wrong and then everyone wants them to say what to do and what is right or wrong. A big responsibility.

Thank God people begin to wonder whether all this is so true. Because it's like when you at birth: In most cases, it runs best when it is not disturbed from outside. Only a little help is needed. No big circumstances.

So will a living will help to bring more certainty into it? The answer is yes , yes , yes and especially if it is sign from a doctor or lawyer too. Because this is confirming the mental clarity of the affected at the time of signature.

But what else can be done to allow a dignified death?

First, you should discuss it in good times. What I want and what you don't. If the times comes, then it should be free of pain for everyone, and if possible, provide pleasant atmosphere. If anyone is in the final stage, it should always, always be someone there, holding the hand. It soothes and takes away the fear most. You should talk to the dying and allow them to die. Tell them it's alright to go away. To take the next step. It won't hurt. The dead does not hurt.

Much to often we do to much and bring only pain. For what, for maybe, for a few moments more to live. Yes I think when people are old we must learn again that they can die because they are old and don't want to live any more and are tired. They had a life. And when a young man is on the way to die, we should let them. I know it's hard because they are so young sometimes and we think it is not fair. There must be a way. But to keep them alive for each price is not worth the living. Our own fear of dead and die should not make us blind for the reality we have in front of our eyes. If you keep this in mind, you can not fail.
