First Aid for Convulsion Patient
First Aid of Convulsion Incidence
A B C D E must be cleared first...and
* Loosen clothing around the person's neck.
* Do not try to hold the person down or restrain him or her, this can result in injury.
* Do not insert any objects in the person's mouth; this can also cause injury.
* Reassure bystanders who may be panicking and ask them to give the person room.
* Remove sharp objects (glasses, furniture and other objects) from around the person to prevent injury.
* After the seizure, it is helpful to lay the person on his or her side to maintain an open airway and prevent the person from inhaling any secretions.
* After many seizures, there may be confusion for a period of time and the person should not be left alone.
* In many cases, especially if the person is known to have epilepsy, it is not necessary to call an ambulance. If the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if another seizure begins soon after the first, or if the person cannot be awakened after the movements have stopped, an ambulance should be called. If you are concerned that something else may be wrong, or the person has another medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes, you should contact a doctor immediately.

Wedding Dress (Part 1)
Saya dan Profesi saya (Part 1)
Halooo semua, ini pertama kalinya saya menulis di blog ini (selain puisi ya), saya hanya seorang wanita biasa tapi saya tidak mau jadi biasa biasa saja, saya bekerja dalam bidang jasa khususnya dalam bidang medis. Saya sangat mencintai pekerjaan saya bukan karena penghasilan yang saya terima lagipula penghasilan saya tidaklah spektakuler. Hanya saja saya sedikit sedih karena banyak orang di satu sisi menuntut begitu banyak dari orang-orang yang profesinya seperti saya, tapi di sisi lain mereka memandang remeh kami. Sebenarnya kami tidak menyalahkan pandangan masyarakat mengenai profesi kami, karena kenyataannya memang ada beberapa dari kami yang kadangkala memang melakukan penyimpangan. Tapi bagaimanapun hal tersebut bersifat indivial dan tetap tidak dapat digeneralisasikan sebagai contoh ada polisi yang baik, ada pula yg korup, ada hakim yang jujur ada pula yang nakal dan sebagainya. Kadangkala semakin besar tanggung jawab yang diamanahkan pada seseorang maka semakin besar godaan untuk menyimpang dari amanah yang ada. Namun sekalipun cukup banyak pro dan kontra dalam profesi saya, saya mencintai pekerjaan ini karena profesi ini bagi saya adalah profesi yang mulia dan juga dicintai Tuhan.

Unforgetable Love
Aku ada di sini
Melihatmu
Memperhatikanmu
Tahukah kamu
Aku berada di belakangmu
Memandangmu
Menelisik sikap dan gerakmu
Sadarkah kamu
Aku ada tepat di sampingmu
Jantungku berdetak tak karuan
Sesak nafasku
Apa kamu bisa merasakannya?
Aku ada di hadapanmu
Jantungku seakan mau berhenti berdetak
Nafasku makin memburu
Apa kamu bisa melihat hatiku?
Aku memandang matamu
Kamu balik memandangku
Aduhh aku merasa dunia ini berhenti
Seakan hanya ada aku dan kamu
Kenangan itu....kenangan itu...
Semua seperti mimpi ketika aku bertemu denganmu
Mimpi indah yang tidak mungkin aku lupakan
Orang bila itu cinta monyet
Tapi bagiku itulah cinta pertama
Dalam dan membekas
Perpisahan kita terlalu berat
Tanpa satu pun kata terucap
Kau tak pernah tahu yang kurasa
Dan aku tak pernah tahu hatimu seperti apa
Kini kamu dimana aku tak tahu
Sehatkah kamu?
Bahagiakah kamu?
Bagaimana kamu sekarang?
Aku harap kamu selalu bahagia
Walau aku tak pernah bisa menjadi kebahagiaan dalam hidupmu....
Semoga Tuhan menjagamu selalu...dimanapun kamu berada...

ANHEDONIA
ANHEDONIA is defined as the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable, e.g. hobbies, exercise, s
ocial interaction or sexual activity.this can be a characteristic of mental disorders including mood disorders, schizoaffective disorder, schizoid personality disorder and schizophrenia. Affected schizophrenic patients describe themselves as feeling emotionally empty.
Sexual anhedonia in males is also known as 'ejaculatory anhedonia'. This condition means that the person will ejaculate with no accompanying sense of pleasure.The condition is most frequently found in males, but women can suffer from lack of pleasure when the body goes through the orgasm process as well.
Sexual anhedonia may be caused by:
- Hyperprolactinaemia.
- Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), also called inhibited sexual desire
- Low levels of the hormone testosterone
- Spinal cord injury
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Use (or previous use) of SSRI antidepressants.
- Use (or previous use) of antidopaminergic neuroleptics.
- Fatigue
- Physical illness
It is very uncommon that a neurological examination and blood tests can determine the cause of a specific case of sexual anhedonia.
Patients may be prescribed sustained-release bupropion to aid in treatment, which has been shown to relieve sexual dysfunction even in patients without depression.
