Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian, Dies

I know the title of this story is about the doctor of death who was Jack Kevorkian so I'll speak to his story in this article as well. My real story is the living and my concern is how Martin Bashir will deal with Dr K's death. How will Martin Bashir who is our own favorite doctor of grim looks and bad outcomes: I speak , of course, of the doctor--I've been told he's a doctor though he doesn't advertise the title--from MSNBC.

This is the man or the doctor of the incrdibly bad timing who would be a nightmare for a mom who is trying to protect her kids from alarming television images. He could find some alarming images of Dr K and slip them into his otherwise simply abrupt and terse delivery. He might for no reason use images of Dr K to alarm television audiences on a totally different subject than euthanasia. He might still: as a matter of fact I'm sure he'll use alarming pictures from any story and every story he's ever heard of to alarm the unsuspecting audience. That's his job: to jar you. can you believe that. Watch his grim, unsmiling face and try to detect a hint of compassion or life-affirming passion. I can't find it.

This is what makes Martin Bashir Martin Bashir: he adores the flexibility he has given himself to throw alarming photos of the likes of Dr K at the unsuspecting audience. His non-smiling visage is crowned with photos that make people cringe. He's made for 24-hour television because he fills time with thoughtless and trashy material. Not trashy in the conventional sense of lewd but trashy like stuff no one can relate to. This is the FBI's own Martin Bashir I have come to know and detest.

Dr Jack Kevorkian died this week and he was misinterpreted or maybe the word should be underinterpreted by the media as is their motis operandi: he frequently helped terminally ill people who had horrible pain that was incurable and nind-numbing to end their misery. The standardized almost formlike report of his death I first heard was nothing but a line that anyone could have read: as if no emotion would clarify his image to the audience. He gave people mercy as opposed to like on a television show of angry judges giving a thumbs down sign to all that is comforting. Sadly, he gave them the only comfort they could see in their painful and tortured lives. The end of regulation time in this game to his "victims" was the sleep of no more painful tomorrows.

I have more sympathy for Dr Jack Kevorkian than for Martin Bashir who bashes us with misery maybe because we didn't have the ability to manufacture it ourselves. Dr Kevorkian was an angel for these people who didn't get smiled on by the gods. They got a bad deal...pity the poor souls who had to have massive pain medications every day to simply get through it.
