What is in a Name?

Mike Wallace warmly hugs Dr. Death

How would you like to go down in history with a name like, "Doctor Death"? In future years when people consult the Wikipedia online and look up the term "DEATH" it will very likely show the picture of Jack Kevorkian, M.D.


I do not know what motivated Mr. Kevorkian to attend medical school but we usually think of doctors being people of care and compassion who want to help people sick people get better. But he does not go down in history as "Doctor Health" or "Saint Jack" but "Doctor Death" because he constantly bragged about killing people who were sick.


The oath every physician takes and the one taken by Jack Kevorkian says clearly, "First, do no harm." But the Doctor of Death killed at least 140 men and women. This is what earned him the name he gets to carry for generations.


Perhaps most disgusting of all, one of the nation's best known and respected media moguls was there to greet Dr. K when he left prison. Mike Wallace, famous as an irascible member of the 60 Minutes team, warmly greeted Doctor Death with a long hug and big smile.


Wallace is the kind of "reporter" that zealously criticizes Christians for their supposed hatred of people with habits of sexual immorality but finds Doctors who kill innocent and ill patients great role models for our nation. No wonder our country is in trouble.
