Berdosa atau Tidak?

Takde idea untuk menghurai persoalan maka kita timbulkan persoalan. =)

Amaran: Kanak-kanak seperti Radin Rahmah sila jangan baca. Haha.

Seringkali apabila melihat Kempen Kesedaran Kanser Payudara, atau Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign yang disiarkan di majalah atau TV, maka kita akan mendapati banyak pamplet-pamplet bergambar yang diedarkan. Ataupun sesekali menjenguk di hospital, pasti ada benda-benda seperti ini.

Maka sekarang cuba bandingkan 3 situasi berikut:

SITUASI I: TEXT ONLY

How to examine your breasts

* Lie down and place your right arm behind your head. The exam is done while lying down, not standing up. This is because when lying down the breast tissue spreads evenly over the chest wall and is as thin as possible, making it much easier to feel all the breast tissue.

* Use the finger pads of the 3 middle fingers on your left hand to feel for lumps in the right breast. Use overlapping dime-sized circular motions of the finger pads to feel the breast tissue.

* Use 3 different levels of pressure to feel all the breast tissue. Light pressure is needed to feel the tissue closest to the skin; medium pressure to feel a little deeper; and firm pressure to feel the tissue closest to the chest and ribs. A firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast is normal. If you're not sure how hard to press, talk with your doctor or nurse. Use each pressure level to feel the breast tissue before moving on to the next spot.

* Move around the breast in an up and down pattern starting at an imaginary line drawn straight down your side from the underarm and moving across the breast to the middle of the chest bone (sternum or breastbone). Be sure to check the entire breast area going down until you feel only ribs and up to the neck or collar bone (clavicle).

* There is some evidence to suggest that the up-and-down pattern (sometimes called the vertical pattern) is the most effective pattern for covering the entire breast, without missing any breast tissue.

* Repeat the exam on your left breast, using the finger pads of the right hand.

* While standing in front of a mirror with your hands pressing firmly down on your hips, look at your breasts for any changes of size, shape, contour, or dimpling, or redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast skin. (The pressing down on the hips position contracts the chest wall muscles and enhances any breast changes.)

* Examine each underarm while sitting up or standing and with your arm only slightly raised so you can easily feel in this area. Raising your arm straight up tightens the tissue in this area and makes it harder to examine.

SITUASI II: IMAGE ONLY



SITUASI III: TEXT + IMAGE

Gabungan 2 situasi di atas. Cara ini lebih kerap digunakan.

SITUASI IV: VIDEO



Gaya terbaru tapi sangat jarang ditayangkan.

===============
Maka soalannya:
Antara situasi-situasi di atas, yang mana lebih menarik, mudah dan senang untuk dipraktikkan?
===============
Kempen kanser Payudara agak sensitif walaupun sangat penting. Sangat jarang jika kamu berkunjung ke booth Kementerian Kesihatan, dan mereka menayangkan video seperti di atas, hehe. Kalau bertanya kepada petugas sekalipun, mungkin mereka segan untuk menerangkan.

Ilmu ada 2: bermanfaat atau tidak. Sepertimana kanak-kanak belum kahwin seperti Radin Rahmah tidak digalakkan membaca Kamasutra, seperti itu juga Safwan Roslan yang belum bernikah tidak digalakkan mengamalkan video tersebut kepada awek beliau.

Berdosa atau tidak, membaca atau menonton bahan-bahan di atas, anda tentukan.

=)

p/s: walau apa pun medium yang digunakan, saya ragu2 kalau bakal doktor sendiri membuat self-exam setiap 3 bulan. hehe
