Cancer And The Doctor’s ‘Crystal Ball’ (Photo by EVG Culture on Pexels.com)
Kanser Dan ‘Bola Kristal’ Doktor
Berapa tahun saya tinggal?
Pada peringkat barah saya,
dan mengikut kajian statistik,
doktor mengatakan bahawa
saya tinggal kira-kira dua tahun!
Tuan ‘Kecewa’ menangis.
Saya tidak boleh masuk wad.
Setiap hari tanpa kerja,
bermaksud tiada makanan untuk keluarga saya!
Tuan ‘Ingin bunuh diri’ merenung.
Kanser bermaksud kematian.
Kanser bermaksud banyak kesakitan.
Keluarga saya akan bimbang
dengan lebih banyak bil hospital!
Encik ‘Alim’ dengan tenangnya menerima.
Ini bukan di tentukan doktor.
Hanya TUHAN yang akan menentukan bila dia akan mengambil saya.
Sementara itu, saya akan terus melakukan kebaikan.
Tuan ‘Falsafah’ menyatakan.
Rakan sekerja muda saya mati, di tempat kejadian, dalam kemalangan,
dan dua lagi, dari serangan jantung dan denggi.
Dengan barah, saya mempunyai masa untuk merancang 'masa depan saya'.
Tuan ‘Pejuang’ mengejek.
Itu dua belas tahun yang lalu!
Lihatlah dua parut luka ini di perut saya.
Saya mencabar setiap kali 'Big C' kembali!
Sangat menarik untuk diperhatikan,
bagaimana bezanya sesetengah orang
mempunyai kehendak hidup
yang lebih besar berbanding orang lain.
Yang penting adalah
pemupukan harapan, sikap positif,
tekad yang lebih kuat,
kemahiran mengatasi yang lebih baik,
dengan sokongan dan kasih sayang
keluarga yang baik.
Setiap doktor tidak boleh melihat
‘bahagian gajah’ miliknya
tetapi perlu melihat klien
secara keseluruhan.
Adakah sokongan yang mencukupi
daripada para jururawat,
pasukan paliatif, kebajikan sosial,
kaunselor dan pegawai agama?

tidak diketahui oleh doktor

A hot egg and a black eye (Photo by Kayla S on Pexels.com)
Two seven-year-old kids were running on the playground. One of them fell. There was a bump on his right forehead.
Young aunt ran to get a towel with ice cubes. She placed it over the swelling on his forehead.
Next, his mum came running. She had a hot hard-boiled egg wrapped in a towel. Anxious over her only child, she threw away the ice. She rubbed the ‘warm egg’ compress over his forehead. The boy cried in pain.
His aunt grimaced to think about the dilation and more tearing of the tiny blood vessels. These will cause more bleeding!
“See! It is so effective! The swelling has subsided!” The mother exclaimed proudly. “This is an age-old practice!”
A few days later, both of them went to the aunt’s house. The boy had a black eye!
“The doctor said his right eye was not injured. His skull X-ray was ok. This bluish-black discolouration is blood collected around the eye. It will go off after a week or two!”
One evening, Mary’s son excitedly went to the kitchen after returning from college. “Mum, today is the last day at law school. The girls were asking each other about virginity and hymen!“ He overheard them.
He put down his bag and sat down. “I told them they should ask my mother. She will be able to tell them straight on their faces!” Mary smiled as she cooked. He was so quiet when she cautioned him about his machine guns the last time!
“Sure! Invite them to our house! I will explain to them!” That was a decade ago.
Why don’t they learn about it in school? I know there is a chapter in their Biology book! So much about the birds and the bees!
Mum, the college girls want to know… ( Photo by Askar Abayev on Pexels.com)
Quote:
Virginity is such a personal thing. You can’t judge anyone on it. A lot of young women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they’ll love forever. – Joyce Brothers.
I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven’t been able to find it. – David Duchovny
Young men would probably want to boast about losing their virginity. But they disapprove of their daughters or sisters losing it before going through the church! – Anonymous
