...Diskussionsrunde (von der DFL und der FAZ veranstaltet) mit Bundesinnenminister Wolfgang Schäuble...
DFL-Präsident Rauball kritisiert, dass dem deutschen Profifußball bei Finanzierungsfragen "an entscheidenden Stellen" Fesseln angelegt werden. Christiano Ronaldo habe sich bei seiner Vorstellung in Madrid in einem Trikot mit dem Werbeschriftzug eines Wettanbieters präsentiert, mit dem Borussia Dortmund einen Sponsorenvertrag aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht habe abschließen dürfen...
...und FAZ-Herausgeber Steltzner warnte vor Gehaltsobergrenzen für Fußballprofis...
Verwundert reibt man sich die Augen - Ich mußte das mehrmals lesen, weil ich es erst nicht glauben konnte...angesichts einer weltweiten Finanzkrise mit fast erfolgter Kernschmelze tanzt der Profifußball weiter auf dem Vulkan...
Wenigstens der Vatikan kritisiert in unmißverständlicher Sprache das Finanzgebaren um Ronaldo...

2. Rauchen führt zur Verstopfung der Arterien und verursacht Herzinfarkte undSchlaganfälle.
3. Rauchen verursacht tödlichen Lungenkrebs.
4. Rauchen in der Schwangerschaft schadet Ihrem Kind.
5. Schützen Sie Kinder – lassen Sie sie nicht Ihren Tabakrauch einatmen!
6. Ihr Arzt oder Apotheker kann Ihnen dabei helfen, das Rauchen aufzugeben.
7. Rauchen macht sehr schnell abhängig: Fangen Sie gar nicht erst an!
8. Wer das Rauchen aufgibt, verringert das Risiko tödlicher Herz- und Lungenerkrankungen.
9. Rauchen kann zu einem langsamen und schmerzhaften Tod führen.
10. Hier finden Sie Hilfe, wenn Sie das Rauchen aufgeben möchten:Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) Tel.: 01805-313131,www.rauchfrei-info.de.
11. Rauchen kann zu Durchblutungsstörungen führen und verursacht Impotenz.
12. Rauchen lässt Ihre Haut altern.
13. Rauchen kann die Spermatozoen schädigen und schränkt die Fruchtbarkeit ein.

Trotzdem rauchen immer noch sehr viele Menschen, viele haben vergeblich versucht aufzuhören...
Warum? Weil Rauchen nachgewiesenermaßen eine Suchtkrankheit ist, die nur in einer kombinierten Therapieanstrengung bekämpft werden kann.

Women of substance
Wendy Moore, freelance writer and author, London,
wendymoore@ntlworld.com
The future is female— within a decade most UK doctors will be women—but then so was the past.
As herbalists, midwives, bonesetters, wives, and mothers, women have long provided the bulk of health care throughout the world. A plucky few were even allowed to scale the lofty heights to fame and, occasionally, fortune.
A female teacher, known only as Trotula, at the medical school of Salerno is believed to have written several important medical tracts in the 12th century, while the polymathic abbess Hildegard of Bingen was a renowned healer whose Book of Simple Medicine was a medieval page turner.
In the 18th century the services of the bonesetter Sarah Mapp were in such demand that she rode to her weekly clinics at a London coffee house in a luxurious coach and six. But far from being feted for her dexterity by male colleagues, "Crazy Sally" was denounced as an "ignorant, illiberal, drunken, female savage" by the surgeon Percival Pott. As Georgian women had no monopoly on ignorance, drunkenness, or savagery, it was plainly the female flaw in Mapp’s character to which Pott objected.
Certainly his Victorian successors had little doubt that feminine attributes were wholly incompatible with a career in medicine, by virtue of women’s inherent physical weakness, intellectual inferiority, and susceptibility to fits, hysteria, and—heaven forfend—menstruation. Only by a dogged negotiation of backdoor entrances and technical loopholes did the first female doctors—Elizabeth Blackwell in the United States and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson in Britain—finally manage to qualify. Even then (though Blackwell graduated top of her class) they were restricted to peripheral jobs treating predominantly women patients.
It took a world war to change attitudes—albeit grudgingly at first. When the Scottish doctor Elsie Inglis offered to run a hospital for British soldiers at the outbreak of the first world war, the War Office blustered: "My good lady, go home and sit still!" She promptly offered her services to the French government and founded women run units in France and Serbia.
Fellow suffragette doctors Louisa Garrett Anderson, daughter of Elizabeth, and Flora Murray also refused to sit still. Invited by the French Red Cross, they ran a highly efficient military hospital in a Parisian hotel from September 1914. Forced to admit the success of the venture, a chastened War Office belatedly asked the pair to run a British hospital in Wimereux, near Boulogne, and, the following year, in London.
Established in a former workhouse in Covent Garden, the 573 bed Endell Street Military Hospital was staffed and managed entirely by women. Admitting up to 80 casualties an hour and performing 20 operations a day, the hospital treated more than 26 000 casualties until it finally closed in December 1919.
The preceding year British women won the vote. The barricades of medicine would take somewhat longer to fall.

Ein guter Chirurg!
"...I emphasize that no one else can understand the anxiety of going to bed at night and realizing what must be done in the operating room in the morning. I believe that no one else can identify with the situation in the operating room when we "burn the bridge" and must go forward, unable to turn back, but with no clear end in sight. Yet in surgery we allow the community, our students, and our nonsurgical collegues to perpetuate the myth that we are only technicians. All of us have been confronted with the type of surgical challenge in which I found myself; all of us know that our sense of responsibility and emotional commitment go far beyond that of a mere technician.
So the advice from this old surgeon is for all of us to get involved and learn the principles of medical and surgical ethics. We should learn to teach them in relationship to what we know and cherish, and, as I have, to experience the joy of seeing our patients, their families, and our students relish what we do so well and have found of value for our entire careers..."
