In attempt to escape the rather boring events of reality we have many forms of entertainment. One television show by the name of Doctor Who has grabbed the attention of Syfy lovers everywhere. There are many great characters that come and go, but one is constant and his name is the Doctor. The 10th Doctor is recognized as the favorite Doctor not only for his unique personality and appearance, but his adventures with his companions and his odd equipment as well.
The 10th Doctor was regenerated from the 9th Doctor. It changes his appearance and personality, but his wisdom and knowledge stays the same. Regeneration is a way to escape death for Time Lords like the Doctor. He is the last of the Time Lords because he was the only one to survive the Time War.
In the Time War, there was a major enemy called the Dalek. They were machines the Time Lords fought against with everything they had. Just one Dalek could cause mass destruction and chaos. Some can even destroy a whole planet by themselves.
The Doctor’s home planet was called Gallifrey and it was home to all the Time Lords. Although, that was before the Time War. After the war, Gallifrey was destroyed along with all the Time Lords, except the Doctor. The Time Lords weren’t the only ones wiped out. All the Dalek were destroyed as well, making the Doctor the only survivor.
The Doctor has some “toys” that he uses quite frequently. First is his TARDIS, which stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It’s his time machine that is cloaked to look like a 1960s style London police box. When he was in 1963 it ended up being stuck to look that way and by the time the TARDIS was fixed the look had grown on him so he kept it (The Beginner’s Guide to the TARDIS).

It saved the Doctor, making him stronger and he defeated the Master. The Doctor was not planning on killing him, but in the end the Master was shot by his own human wife.

Who would have thought you could grow attached to someone you disliked in the first place? Actors of British Sci-Fi drama series “Doctor Who” have that effect on their fans and never have I thought ever that Matt Smith would have that effect on me after seeing him leave the show on Christmas day. Matthew Robert Smith is a British actor best known for his role as the eccentric Eleventh Doctor in the series and though fans of the show doubted him because of his age and lack of experience and exposure, Whovians had learned to love him after he showed and proved to the world that he epitomized The Doctor.
an affair between his promiscuous mother, a housewife, and an anonymous male lover. He is conversant with many languages since he visits numerous countries where his father is sent to work.

Captain “Lucky Jack” Aubrey, the protagonist in Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, is an excellent example of a leader to both his crew and the audience of the film. Lucky Jack received the nickname because of his tendency to be in the right place at the right time, to win battles and, if necessary, narrowly escape disaster. The movie takes places during The Napoleonic Wars when Great Britain was at with France. Captain Aubrey is the captain of a British battleship, the HMS Surprise, when a much larger French warship, the Acheron, intercepts each other and pursue each other off of the coast of South America. Lucky Jack, as his crew refers him to, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain.
Jack is more like someone from a cult of some description. He quite easily convinces everyone on the Island that there is a big horrible beast roaming around the place, which is ready to attack and kill at anytime. Jack got all the boys on his side by using scare tactics.
When it comes to Jack’s fear of not being chief, it brings out the worst in him and it has an effect on others. For instance, when the boys are deciding on who should be the chief, Ralph wins by a landslide. “Even the choir applauded; and the freckles on Jack’s face disappeared under a blush of mortification” (Golding 19). That is the first physical evidence of Jack being humiliated by Ralph and judging by Jack’s personality, he is not used to failure so it has a big impact on him. This motivates him to destroy Ralph and the rivalry between the two begins. Another point is that Jack uses fear and threats to control the boys. For example, when Robert tells Roger “’He’s going to beat Wilfred.’ ‘What for?’ Robert shook his head doubtfully” (Golding 176) it shows that Jack is violent and is using his...
This show is a perfect way to get your fix of the medical field with all the drama, I watched this show for years and to this day I still want to be a surgeon. I know that this show is not what real life is like with being a surgeon or a nurse, but it is still extremely interesting. I think I fit the best with this show because of the main character not having a normal childhood, there are so many reasons why this show can draw a person in and you can relate to. Grey’s Anatomy was created by Shonda Rhimes, the first sole African-American female showrunner in the history of television. When asked in the early days of the series about her influences, she spoke frequently of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and there’s a healthy dollop of that show’s breakneck pacing and love of wild plot twists in Grey’s. (Grey's Anatomy. 2 n.d.). But there’s also a unique blend of workplace drama and over-the-top soap that has Rhimes’ calling card. In many ways, Rhimes has been rather undervalued as a creator of hugely addictive TV, primarily because of the genres in which she writes, which are rarely among TV’s most acclaimed. Yet Rhimes writes fast-paced, perfectly pitched dialogue as well as anyone working in television, and she’s also great at swooning romanticism, at embracing the kind of deeply earnest, intensely felt romance that made the show’s relationships so
Over the years the position of Surgeon General has changed in many ways. In 1873 the official title of the Surgeon General was changed to Supervising Surgeon General and then back to just Surgeon General in 1902. According to Funk and Wagnall’s New Encyclopedia the Surgeon General was the head of the Public Health System and reported directly to the Secretary of Health. After 1968 the Surgeon General reported to the Assistant Secretary of Health.

The Doctor then apprehends the Master after being resurrected. The Master fears he will be smitten by the wrath of the Doctor. However, the Doctor goes over to the Master, embraces him, and says, “I forgive you.” This is another theme that is observed with Christ figures—that of being forgiving and compassionate to all no matter what they have done. “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” The Doctor is in accord with the teachings of Jesus in regards to treating others the way he would want to be treated—the golden rule.

The movie “The Doctor” is a good example of how communications in the health field work to benefit not only the patient, but the doctor too. In this movie, the main character, also known as Jack McKee, is a heart surgeon. The movie begins by showing how McKee’s attitude towards his patients tends to be inappropriate. Jack jokes about his patients and laughs at their concerns. His home life is also a struggle; his relationships with his wife and son are falling apart. The movie takes a turn when Jack becomes suddenly ill. He begins coughing up blood. He meets with a specialist by the name of Lesley. Tests reveal that Jack has a serious tumor on his vocal cords. He has now become the patient. He begins treatment but the results are not what they expect. Along the way, he befriends a brain tumor patient by the name of June. She will teach Jack how to empathize. He will learn how to feel and communicate not only with his wife and son, but for his patients as well.
