BIDAN OH BIDAN ... DI MANA KAU BIDAN?

Sebagai seorang pengamal perbidanan, perawat, terapis mahupun perunding perbidanan, atau dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya, kita panggil "Confinement Consultant", perlu rajin membaca dan membuat rujukan.

Pelbagai kes-kes baru yang kita hadapi semasa berhadapan dengan pesakit / klien / pelanggan.

Lain pesakit, lain masalahnya.

Antara buku-buku rujukan yang boleh didapati di pasaran:

1)  Urut Tradisional Melayu Warisan Opah Umi, ditulis oleh Hajjah Sharifah Umi Kelesom Syed Mohamed Zin.  Lebih mesra, kalau dipanggil Opah Umi.

Saya sering berbincang dengan Opah Umi berkenaan dengan hal-hal perbidanan.

Buku ni senang dibawa ke mana sahaja.  Nak jumpa pelanggan pun saya bawa, senang kita nak "educate", sebab banyak gambar and easy to follow.

Looks like a simple SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).

It's like a walking dictionary for me especially when it comes to explaining to clients. As you know, a picture may explain a thousand words.

2)  Ensiklopedia Perbidanan Melayu

     ditulis oleh Datin Sharifah Anisah bt Tan Sri Barakbah 

Buku rujukan penting untuk semua pengamal perbidanan. Seringkali saya membuat rujukan kertaskerja / teaching module menggunakan buku ini.

3)  Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practice Guidelines on Malay Postnatal Care, First Edition, June 2009, by Traditional & Complementary Medicine Division, Ministry  of  Health Malaysia.

My first book, and my first reference guide. 

Sebelum ni, memang ada buku-buku rujukan semasa mengikuti kelas di IBD UTM KL.

And, i remembered with this book, I taught my staff as well. I knew Puan Safi has taught and trained my staff, but to get additional information, you must read, read and read. KEEP ON READING OK.

Don't be complacent with what you have and what you have achieved.  I don't like people who are living in their comfort zone.

Sebab, orang yang sudah membidan 13 tahun pun masih lagi sanggup menapak ke IBD UTM untuk belajar. (Ini Kak Long Syimah Ismail, thank you Kak Long, for all the advice, teachings and moral support)

Mak Long pula datang jauh dari Kedah, umur dah 60 lebih, dan sudah membidan selama 30 tahun, masih lagi berikhtiar untuk belajar bersama saya di IBD UTM.  Respek saya, di atas kesungguhan dia.

So, yang muda-muda, jangan malas ya nak menimba ilmu pengetahuan.

(Tujuan saya menulis bukan sekali-kali untuk men "demotivate" yang muda ya, tidak berniat sama sekali, saya teruja melihat kegigihan golongan veteran yang lebih bersemangat menimba ilmu, itu sahaja)

Please lar, give respect to the oldies, walaupun mereka tu belajar berdasarkan pengalaman sahaja.

So, what is that complacent all about?

OK then, got to prepare for my teaching modules again ...
