LINGKARAN SETAN ANTIBIOTIK

Sebagian Alasan Kenapa Dokter Dokter Di Negara Maju "PELIT" Kasih Obat ke Anak yg Sakit



** Dimana Salahnya...?**

Malik tergolek lemas. Matanya sayu. Bibirnya pecah-pecah. Wajahnya kian tirus. Di mataku ia berubah seperti anak dua tahun kurang gizi. Biasanya aku selalu mendengar celoteh dan tawanya di pagi hari. Kini tersenyum pun ia tak mau. Sesekali ia muntah. Dan setiap melihatnya muntah, hatiku ...tergores-gores rasanya. Lambungnya diperas habis-habisan seumpama ampas kelapa yang tak lagi bisa mengeluarkan santan. Pedih sekali melihatnya terkaing-kaing seperti itu.

Waktu itu, belum sebulan aku tinggal di Belanda, dan putraku Malik terkena demam tinggi. Setelah tiga hari tak juga ada perbaikan aku membawanya ke huisart (dokter keluarga) kami, dokter Knol namanya.

"Just wait and see. Don’t forget to drink a lot. Mostly this is a viral infection." kata dokter tua itu.

"Ha? Just wait and see? Apa dia nggak liat anakku dying begitu?" batinku meradang. Ya…ya…aku tahu sih masih sulit untuk menentukan diagnosa pada kasus demam tiga hari tanpa ada gejala lain. Tapi masak sih nggak diapa-apain. Dikasih obat juga enggak! Huh! Dokter Belanda memang keterlaluan! Aku betul-betul menahan kesal.

"Obat penurun panas Dok?" tanyaku lagi.
"Actually that is not necessary if the fever below 40 C."

Waks! Nggak perlu dikasih obat panas? Kalau anakku kenapa-kenapa memangnya dia mau nanggung? Kesalku kian membuncah.
Tapi aku tak ingin ngeyel soal obat penurun panas. Sebetulnya di rumah aku sudah memberi Malik obat penurun panas, tapi aku ingin dokter itu memberi obat jenis lain. Sudah lama kudengar bahwa dokter disini pelit obat. Karena itu aku membawa setumpuk obat-obatan dari Indonesia, termasuk obat penurun panas.
Dua hari kemudian, demam Malik tak kunjung turun dan frekuensi muntahnya juga bertambah. Aku segera kembali ke dokter. Tapi si dokter tetap menyuruhku wait and see. Pemeriksaan laboratorium baru akan dilakukan bila panas anakku menetap hingga hari ke tujuh.

"Anakku ini suka muntah-muntah juga Dok," kataku.
Lalu si dokter menekan-nekan perut anakku. "Apakah dia sudah minum suatu obat?"

Aku mengangguk. "Ibuprofen syrup Dok," jawabku.

Eh tak tahunya mendengar jawabanku, si dokter malah ngomel-ngomel,"Kenapa kamu kasih syrup Ibuprofen? Pantas saja dia muntah-muntah. Ibuprofen itu sebaiknya tidak diberikan untuk anak-anak, karena efeknya bisa mengiritasi lambung. Untuk anak-anak lebih baik beri paracetamol saja."

Huuh! Walaupun dokter itu mengomel sambil tersenyum ramah, tapi aku betul-betul jengkel dibuatnya. Jelek-jelek begini gue lulusan fakultas kedokteran tau! Nah kalau buat anak nggak baik kenapa di Indonesia obat itu bertebaran! Batinku meradang.

Michael Heart's Biography

Do you often see Gaza Palestine on TV? with all of the destructions, bloods and people crying because of the devil israeli? a song has been written by singer and also composer named Michael Heart. So deep, so brave. If u do not know who Michael Heart is, this is his biography. Check this out,,

Michael Heart has no propensity for nonsense. Neither in his life nor in his music. His no-frills approach to songwriting and production work is a clear testament to that. Despite his vastly diverse musicianship skills in different genres (clearly a direct result of having been raised all over the world), he has an affinity for authenticity and purity when it comes to his music. When he makes a Pop/Rock record, you just know it’s a Pop/Rock record.

Such is the case with his just released, debut Pop/Rock CD titled “Unsolicited Material”. Although this record may not necessarily entirely sound like the work of his musical influences, you can definitely hear traces of artists such as Don Henley, Bryan Adams and possibly even a hint of Daughtry, in a song or two. His raspy, breathy voice has a very identifiable sound, which commands attention from the listener. The songs are well crafted and the lyrical content is somewhat diverse, yet relevant. He tackles serious topics such as adultery (“Living In Sin”); the challenges of making a living (“Life Goes On”); war (“Damaged World”) and even domestic violence (“Finally Free”). Having said that, once in a while, Michael still lets his sense of humor come out in a song like “Wanna Be Bad”. After all, rock’n roll is about having a good time. And just for good measure, he includes the obligatory, radio-friendly, mid-tempo, Pop/Rock love song, “Lost In You”. Although the moods of the various songs on this CD do vary, there is still a common thread in all of these songs that unify them as a collective work.


Michael’s background is as diverse as can be. Born in Syria and raised in Europe (Switzerland and Austria), the Middle East and the United States, he has lived a multi-cultural life and absorbed the music of different parts of the world (although his current CD release is purely categorized as Pop/Rock). He started out on piano and guitar at age 10. Shortly thereafter, he began dabbling in songwriting and eventually made the natural progression towards recording. After earning his audio engineering degree from Full Sail (recording school), he moved to Los Angeles in 1990 and spent the past 18 years working on the local studio circuit both as a session guitarist and a recording engineer. In that time, he has worked with such artists as Brandy, Will Smith, Toto, Natalie Cole, The Temptations, Phil Collins, Patty LaBelle, The Pointer Sisters, Earth Wind & Fire, Ricky Lee Jones, Lou Rawls, Jesse McCartney, Hillary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Paige, Al Jarreau, K-Ci & Jojo, Deborah Cox, Monica, Taylor Dayne, Keiko Matsui, Steve Nieves, Luis Miguel and Tarkan. Michael’s fluency in French was definitely an added bonus when he also worked in the studio with French artists like Calogero (The Charts), Marc Lavoine and Veronique Sanson. Other projects also included work with producers Rodney Jerkins, Philippe Saisse and David Foster. (note: on most of these recording credits, Michael is credited as “Annas Allaf”, his real name, Michael Heart being the stage name). Although most of Michael’s work has been in the recording studio, he has also done some touring (notably back in the early 90’s, when he toured as a Flamenco guitarist in a guitar trio with Juan Manuel Canizares, opening for Dire Straits). He has also recorded and toured with the smooth jazz band Jango.

These days, when he is not promoting his new CD or writing new material, Michael is lending his production skills to various local artists, primarily working in his home studio.

In January of 2009, Michael also wrote and composed a song about the horrific situation of the Palestinian people in Gaza. The song is called "We will not go down".


WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Dancing Black Hole Twins Spotted

Researchers have seen the best evidence yet for a pair of black holes orbiting each other within the same galaxy.

While such "binary systems" have been postulated before, none has ever been conclusively shown to exist.

The new black hole pair is dancing significantly closer than the prior best binary system candidate.

The work, published in the journal Nature, is in line with the theory of the growth of galaxies, each with a black hole at their centre.

The theory has it that as galaxies near one another, their central black holes should orbit each other until merging together.

But evidence for black holes nearing and orbiting has so far been scant.

Dancing cheek-to-cheek

As matter falls into black holes, it emits light of a characteristic colour that in turn gives information about the direction in which the black hole is moving.

In a binary system, two beams should be emitted, each a slightly different colour.

Todd Boroson and Tod Lauer of the US National Optical Astronomy Observatory analysed some 17,500 spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and have now found just such a pair of emissions coming from a distant quasar.

The researchers estimate that the two light sources come from black holes between 20 million and one billion times more massive than our Sun.

The black holes are separated by an estimated distance of less than a third of a light-year - cheek-to-cheek by black hole standards and significantly closer than the postulated binary system spotted by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 2003.

The pair are estimated to dance around one another every 100 years.

Because they are moving with respect to the Earth as well as to each other, observations of their movement over the next few years should prove beyond question that they are indeed the first partnered pair of black holes.

"Previous work has identified potential examples of black holes on their way to merging, but the case presented by Boroson and Lauer is special because the pairing is tighter and the evidence much stronger," said Jon Miller, an astronomer at the University of Michigan.
