Serba sikit tentang Sphygmomanometer
sphygmós (pulse), manometer (pressure meter)
Mungkin anda rasa, sphygmomanometer yang tradisional semakin digantikan oleh sphygmomanometer elektronik yang begitu senang digunakan. Mungkin anda rasa, satu hari nanti tiada lagi orang yang mahu menggunakan kaedah lama ini dan alat-alat ini hanya boleh dijumpai dalam museum.
Anda mungkin betul, itu mungkin berlaku, mungkin bila nanti.
Tetapi, sphygmomanometer yang kelihatan tua dan ketinggalan zaman itu, merupakan satu alat yang begitu kritikal, apabila bateri habis, apabila anda berada di kawasan pendalaman, apabila tekanan darah seseorang pesakit terlalu rendah dan BP set yang canggih-canggih itu langsung tidak dapat berfungsi.
Maka, penjagaan alat ini adalah penting, bagi memastikan ia dalam keadaan yang terbaik apabila anda memerlukannya. Tidak kiralah di dalam wad, atau semasa kita keluar membuat aktiviti CFCS, atau satu hari nanti kita mungkin dihantar ke mana-mana klinik kesihatan dan pada masa itulah, anda yang bertanggungjawab untuk memastikan semua alat ini dijaga dengan baik.
Ok, gambar 1. Label ini terdapat pada mana-mana sphygmomanometer, tetapi ramai yang tidak mempedulikannya langsung. Cara yang betul untuk menyimpan sphygmomanometer adalah OFF butang merkuri. Bukan itu saja, simpan balik merkuri ke dalam balangnya sebelum OFF. Ini memastikan tiada merkuri yang tertakung di luar, dan lama-kelamaan ia akan melekat pada kaca itu, dan menjejaskan bacaan anda, seperti dalam gambar 2.

Penguatkuasaan Larangan Pengilangan dan Penjualan Paket Rokok yang Mengandungi Kurang daripada 20 Batang Rokok
Sukacita dimaklumkan, Kerajaan telah memutuskan penjualan paket rokok yang mengandungi bilangan rokok kurang dari dua puluh (20) batang rokok adalah tidak dibenarkan mulai 1 Jun 2010.
Keputusan Kerajaan untuk melarang penjualan paket rokok kurang dari 20 batang rokok ini telah pun dipersetujui oleh semua syarikat rokok. Kerajaan berterima kasih di atas sokongan dan kerjasama syarikat-syarikat rokok di atas usaha Kerajaan mengenai perkara ini.
Sejajar dengan keputusan Kerajaan ini, pihak syarikat rokok diberi masa selama 7 bulan dari sekarang sehingga 31 Mei 2010 untuk menghabiskan stok paket rokok kurang dari 20 batang rokok di pasaran. Kerajaan tidak akan melayan sebarang rayuan ke atas perkara ini dan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia akan menguatkuasakan sepenuhnya larangan pengilangan dan penjualan paket rokok kurang dari 20 batang rokok mulai 1 Jun 2010.
Larangan pengilangan dan penjualan paket rokok yang mengandungi kurang dari 20 batang rokok sebenarnya telah pun diwartakan pada 23 September 2004 melalui Peraturan-Peraturan Kawalan Hasil Tembakau (PPKHT) 2004. Walau bagaimana pun, penguatkuasaaan terhadap larangan tersebut telah ditangguhkan selepas Kerajaan mempertimbangkan rayuan dari syarikat-syarikat rokok. Kerajaan
berpendapat penangguhan selama 6 tahun semenjak itu adalah lebih dari mencukupi.
Langkah larangan penjualan paket rokok yang mengandungi kurang dari 20 batang rokok ini adalah selaras dengan peruntukan WHO Framework Convention On Tobacco Control (FCTC), di mana Malaysia telah menjadi parti kepadanya sejak 2005. FCTC telah menyarankan agar penjualan rokok dalam kotak bersaiz kecil yang membolehkan orang belum dewasa mampu membeli rokok dan memulakan tabiat merokok dilarang.
Tabiat merokok merupakan satu tabiat yang merugikan dari segi kewangan dan kesihatan. Asap rokok telah terbukti mengandungi lebih dari 4000 jenis bahan kimia yang merosakkan kesihatan serta boleh menyebabkan pelbagai jenis penyakit kanser. Sebagai langkah pelengkap kepada usaha-usaha yang sedang dan telah dijalankan oleh Kerajaan bagi memenuhi hasrat murni Kerajaan melindungi rakyat Malaysia daripada bahaya merokok, larangan penjualan paket rokok bungkusan kecil ini adalah bagi tujuan mengurangkan kebolehcapaian dan kemampuan golongan kanak-kanak dan remaja untuk membeli dan memulakan tabiat merokok yang tidak sihat dan merugikan.
Sehubungan dengan penguatkuasaan sepenuhnya larangan penjualan dan pengilangan paket rokok kurang dari 20 batang rokok menjelang 1 Jun 2010, sesiapa yang didapati melanggar Peraturan 9 dan Peraturan 16, PPKHT 2004, apabila disabitkan kesalahan boleh didenda tidak melebihi sepuluh ribu ringgit atau dipenjara selama tempoh tidak melebihi dua tahun.

10 Little Things that Matters a lot to Patients
1. Wish your patients, "Good Morning" during
morning round and "Good Night" at the end of the
day. Also wish them well & happy, and hopefully never be back again with sickness when they are discharged.
2. Smile to your patients whenever you meet them - they are the most important people in your medical career. Your smile should be part of your therapeutic management. It is FOC and effective with no side effects.
3. Educate your patients on their medical problems in a way comprehendible to them. It is partly your failure if they don't understand their problem and the reason for their admission.
4. Let your patients know in advance on whatever procedures that you are planning for them e.g. ECG, ECHO, Ultrasound, CT Scan, OGDS etc. Give them the time to be mentally prepared.
5. Entertain your patients' doubts, fears and worries with compassion even though it sounds ridiculous to you. Do remember that your fear could be different from your patients' fear.
6. Show your patients that the needle has been taken off after inserting a venofix. This is an effective treatment for psychological pain. A great healer should heal the mind and body.
7. Medicine works better if your patient knew the reasons for taking it, and has confidence that it works. Don't forget to remind your patient on that when serving medicine.
8. Tell your patients the reasons and importance of taking their blood for investigations. Remember that it is their BLOOD - don't steal it from them!
9. Plan your blood taking on your patients so that the number of venepuntures can be minimized as much as possible to avoid unnecessary pain.
10. Respect your patients' privacy. Don't forget to close the curtains when examining them.
TENDER LOVING CARE (TLC) should be prescribed to all patients in high dose & at least QID irrespective of the diseases they have.
By Dr. Phang Cheng Kar (M.D.)

PSP and ReHAK in Health Camp @ Pengkalan Kubor
Persatuan Sains Perubatan (PSP) USMKK and Reproductive Health Association of Kelantan (ReHAK) was in a collaboration beginning this academic year. The collaboration was aimed at providing a channel for our students to be part of volunteer works with a nongovernmental organization and to instill a humble serving heart among our students.
The first event that saw PSP and ReHAK came together was a health camp at Sek. Men. Keb. Pengkalan Kubor 2 held in 31st October 2009.
Some might ask, “What is a health camp? 3 days 2 nights?”.
A health camp is a programme where ReHAK organized health talks, health exhibitions, some games for the children, and the all familiar health consultation and screening for the folks. At this point, some might say “Isn’t it the same like what we did in CFCS? What’s the big deal?”. Well, it’s yes, and no. Yes, our CFCS Residency 3 and 4 programmes bear similarities to a health camp, because this is what health personnels do – to educate the people with relevant health issues. And no, this programme is total volunteerism, and with volunteer participation from specialists from HUSM.
This first collaboration of PSP-ReHAK saw 14 year 4 PSP members showing their humble serving hearts to the community of Pengkalan Kubor. Our members helped out in manning the exhibitions, registrations, taking care of little children in games and colouring contest, and above all, making PSP proud! At the end of the day, they were given a certificate as a token of appreciation for their helping hands. But the most precious thing gained was not the certificate, it was the experience and the satisfaction gained from giving a hand to the community. Bravo to the 14 members of PSP for their volunteer participation in making the health camp a success, and bringing smiles to the folks of Pengkalan Kubor!
There will be more collaboration programmes to come in the future. So be on the lookout and don’t miss the chance to show the humble serving hearts of PSP members!
