[Eng] Review: Mortuari

Diagnosis 3: Mortuari by Jack Naim
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Being in healthcare provider or specifically a doctor give us the opportunity to say hello & wave goodbye to Death. This is not a pleasent moment to be dealt with.

But other people wouldn't understood how we still able to put a straight face & even continue working despite working hard confronting as day to day basis.

Just hoping more people would try to understand healthcare providers of such burdens & would remind them that we are only human.

[Eng] Review: Prognosis

Prognosis by JackNaim
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When reading as civilian, I could catch only a glimpse of what it takes to be a doctor. Not seeing the backstage of what has going on in each department, especially involving saving & dealing with lives at stake.

When reading as a medical student, I could put these as an encouragement and requirement of becoming a doctor. Never have the superficial daily sight of a doctor could possibly enough to tell their story and what they have been through, but their in-sight is what gave the push for us.

When reading as junior doctor, it would be a reminder of where I have stand beforehand and with just a minute piece of knowledge I hold to become a doctor. None still would be adequate, even till I am now, as I am still required to gain more and more, thus walk forward to achieve it.

Should I read these as a senior doctor, still it could be all of the above as a remembrances of what I have went just to become one.

Salute.

[Eng] Annoyed with such selfishness

Sepanjang perjalanan dalam ambulans aku ‪#‎beratib‬ "kurang ajar" 33x, "tak faham bahasa" 33x, "ke tepi" 33x.

Dengan pekik lolong siren dari harakat panjang, jadi pendek, tambah dengan bunyi hon & lampu besar, itupun masih lagi tak bergerak kereta-kereta ni ke tepi untuk beri laluan.

Nak lagi best, siap nampak berpegang talifon di telinga kanan, tangan kiri di stereng. Kebanyakkannya kereta berjenama & jenis baharu. Ada juga yang cabok, tapi itupun tau nak ke tepi.

Wahai pemandu kereta di Malaysia, bukalah telinga untuk dengar Siren, bukalah mata untuk lihat lampu kecemasan, bukalah hati untuk belajar yang semua itu tanda kita bawa pesakit dalam keadaan tenat ke hospital.

Aku sangat berharap untuk pasang kamera di depan ambulans supaya dapat tunjuk bukti pemandu yang menghalang lalu lintas tatkala kecemasan.

I've rant this in my FB status after enraged with our Malaysian Driver's ignorance whilst driving on the road. Such behavior almost risking 2 lives (mother & her soon to be born fetus) which we were trying to save by transferring to a Tertiary Hospital for further management.

Though both are safe in the end, but the road condition may causing delay of birth or even handling the labour in an ambulance which could risk both lives.

This is what happens in everyday case handled by Medical Providers in Districts (either clinics or hospitals). Life threatening condition occurs due to delay of transfer to well equipped facilities albeit adequate initial measures provided.

Such delay was not even lies on our (clinic/hospital) mainly, but due to road traffic jam. If anyone experienced transporting patients using any road in Peninsular Malaysia (I don't know about East Malaysia), they sure understood such implications.

So please Malaysian Drivers, your selfishness is unneeded for unwanted AVOIDABLE DEATH.

[BM] Mimpi Hati

Alahai hati,
Kala dikau dihimpit pilu,
Umpama kaca retak seribu,
Berkecai derai bertaburan,
Entah kemana sebak ditahan,
Reput berkarat dek nestapa,
Semput pesek terluka,
Entah kenapa sukar dipendam,
Dek picisan nista tertanam,
Isimu berdarah mengalir deras,
Hampamu tidak kenali puas.

Jauh berlayar dilaut gelora,
Impi ketemu tanah pusara,
Kabur ia dek kabus maya,
Asyik mengejar mencari kaya,
Itu sahaja jelas di mata,
Tatkala gerhana sedang bertakhta,
Ulung megah bersilat tari,
Yakin konon gentak dihati,
Apa yang tersuya debu puaka,
Nampak jauh kilau bercahya,
Genggam terhancur terbanglah ia.

Kau serukan lagu kemesraan,
Apatah lagi pinang sentuhan,
Usahkan ia pengubat alpa,
Penangan dari lara nestapa,
Itu hanya harapan nista,
Nakkan bebas dari airmata,
Tetapi tenggelam dilautan dalam,
Asyik diulit mimpi yang kelam.

[BM] Review: Demi Masa

Demi Masa by Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Al-Asr
Surah 3 ayat mudah dilazimi dan amat besar isi kandungannya dalam menjalani kehidupan sebagai seorang muslim.

Benarlah hakikat manusia itu dalam kerugian apabila masanya itu tidak dimanfaatkan.

Dek kerana itu menjadi tanggungjawab orang-orang yang beriman dalam menasihati antara satu sama lain mengenai hakikat kebenaran Allah SWT serta menyemai kesabaran dalam menunaikan ibadah kepada-Nya.

Buku ini ringkas dan padat bagi memotivasikan diri mengenggam erat dan memanfaatkan masa bagi keuntungan akhirat.

Khas buat orang terlupa, seperti saya

[BM] Review: Sunnah vs. Bid’ah

Sunnah vs. Bid’ah by Yusuf al-Qaradawi - يوسف القرضاوي
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Memahami fenomena membid'ahkan orang lain, dengan memahami erti sebenar bid'ah dari pandangan syarak.

Penulisan syeikh membuka luas pemahaman awam erti menghidupkan Sunnah yang sebenar, serta menyekat kesilapan awam yang membesar-besarkan bid'ah.

Karangan syeikh ini adalah bagi menjawab penulisan artikel dalam majalah di Doha bertajuk: "Larangan terhadap bid'ah dan bencikan pembaharuan? Apakah ia pendirian Islan ataupun Jahiliyah?"

Moga penulisan terjemahan ini dapat memberi penjelasan buat kita semua dalam menghadapi isu Sunnah vs Bid'ah

[BM] Review: Aku Terima Nikahnya (Edisi Istimewa)

Aku Terima Nikahnya [Edisi Istimewa] by Hasrizal Abdul Jamil
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
View all my Goodreads reviews

Perkahwinan itu merupakan pengembaraan hidup yang penuh suka duka, liku luka, senyum tawa pasangan & keseluruhan ahli keluarganya.

Persediaannya bermula sejak akil baligh, malah berterusan sepanjang melayari bahtera baitul muslim itu sendiri.

Buku kompilasi trilogi hasil Ustaz Hasrizal ini, menutur zikir kepada sang anak teruna & dara yang kemudiannya menjadi sang suami & isteri dan kemudiannya menjadi sang abi & ummi. Zikirnya memperingatkan diri mendekati keredhaan Zat Yang Maha Mencipta.

Saya sarankan ia menjadi bacaan umum bagi yang ingin mendirikan rumah tangga mahupun yang sedang mengemudi bahtera perkahwinan ini. Mudah-mudahan, mengingatkan kita fungsi diri dalam institusi kekeluargaan.
