bismillah.

salam. hi :)
so yeah, yesterday i got to experience a few miracles. aside from still living. Alhamdulillah. i got to scrub in a surgery. my first scrub in. it was a total knee replacement. hehe. and an Achilles tendon..something..can't remember.

i've noticed, the orthopaedics are somehow mostly made up from the attractive cohort of the population. not that i'm saying it has any importance. just a purely neutral finding. the best thing is, the head of the department is a lady. bossing all these rugby player sized men. and to make things more interesting, she's even tinier than me. (okay, you may not agree, but in this part of the world, i am undersized). hehe. go lady power!

okay, enough with the jabbering..seeing the surgeons in action i can now understand why doctors and especially surgeons would see the body as a mechanical thing rather than seeing a person with emotions and...stuff. because frankly that is what it is. by giving anaesthetics all sensation of pain is lost. leaving the limb as a dead structure where you can tear it open and do all sorts of things. wonderful isn't it?

إِنَّ الْحَلاَلَ بَيِّنٌ، وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ لاَيَعْلَمُهُنَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنْ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ فَقَد اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِيْنِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَام، كَالرَّاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللهِ مَحَارِمُهُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً، إِذَا صَلُحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلاَ وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ

رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ

"Truly, what is lawful is evident, and what is unlawful is evident, and in between the two are matters which are doubtful which many people do not know. He who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless, and he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his flock round a preserve will soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things Allah has declared unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart."

and it was snowing outside while i was in theatre. Allah's miracle indeed.

p/s: i'm at home. next to the radiator, with tea in one hand. Alhamdulillah. ;)
