Bila Jantung Kata Beep-beep
Sering berbaju biru dan bertopeng muka, doktor bius menjadi figur misteri di hospital. Mereka muncul tiba-tiba, dan pergi tanpa disedari. Dalam dewan bedah mereka hanya bayang-bayang yang muncul antara jaga dan khayal, dan hilang sebelum mata pesakit benar-benar terbuka. Begitu perahsia, sehingga kita tertanya-tanya: siapakah watak-watak biru ini? Beep… beep… Sejak kali pertama berdegup di dalam rahim ibu, jantung tidak pernah berhenti. Menghidupkan organ, menggerakkan nafas, bahkan menjadi bayang kepada ‘nyawa’. Saban hari, kita tak pernah memikirkannya, uh, sudah berapa kali jantung berdenyut hari ini? Ia bekerja, amat menghidupkan, sekalipun tersembunyi dari perhitungan manusia. Terlepas dari kesedaran manusia. Begitulah juga para doktor bius. Tersembunyi di belakang tabir. Sering tercicir dari penghargaan tetapi di bahu mereka tergalas tanggungjawab yang menggunung. Setiap helaan nafas. Setiap denyut nadi. Setiap degup jantung. Bila jantung kata BEEP…BEEP…
Cakar Ayam Seorang Doktor 3.0
Ini rahsia yang telah lama kami simpan. Syhhhh…! Jika anda ke hospital pasti akan ternampak mereka yang berbaju putih. Mukanya naïf. Rajin. Baik. Peramah. Sesekali menggentel kepala stetoskop yang tergantung di leher. Sesekali menulis-nulis di dalam kad rekod pesakit. Kelihatan nerdy dan ulat buku. Ya lah, para doktor itu lah. Sebenarnya ada rahsia yang tersembunyi di sebalik watak innocent mereka. Seperti Clark Kent menyembunyikan baju ‘S’ ketat di balik kemeja dan cermin matanya. Seperti Peter Parker menyembunyikan sawang labah-labah dalam tubuhnya. Atau Bruce Wayne yang menyembunyikan mengantuknya kerana berjaga malam menyamar jadi kelawar. Mereka ini juga sebenarnya ada kuasa tersembunyi. Super-power yang selama ini dijaga rapi selama bergenerasi. Tapi ini rahsia tau. Syhhhh…! Kuasa apa? Ish… Kalau nak tahu, cuba belek naskhah ini. Dari depan hingga belakang… pasti akan berjumpa. Ini rahsia tau.
Alkisah Doktor Kolget
Dalam kepala kanak-kanak, ia ada dua wajah. SATU. Seorang lelaki berkot putih. Berkaca mata. Tersenyum madu menampakkan baris gigi yang sihat. Di tangan kirinya ada satu set gigi plastik dan di tangan kanannya ada berus gigi. “Gosok dalam pusingan ya, adik-adik! Mulakan dari sini. Gosok. Gosok. Gosok.” Dan kanak-kanak yang mencangkung di tepi longkang pun memberus gigi dengan gelak tawa dan nakal sambil memegang cawan plastik berisi air. “Brrrrrrr brrrr brrrrr…puuuuiih…” (tersembur air) DUA. Seorang lelaki dengan apron. Topeng menutup muka. Menjeling tajam dengan kening runcing. Tangan kanannya ada jarum. Tangan kiri ada gerudi. “Ok, adik. Duduk diam. Sebut aaaaaaa… lagi aaaaa… lagi aaaaa…!” Eeeeee… Dan kanak-kanak itu pun melompat dari kerusi, berjanji takkan masuk lagi! Walau apapun nostalgia zaman kanak-kanak anda, mereka tetap susuk yang sama. Ada yang memanggilnya Doktor Kolget. Doktor gigi. Atau dentist. Cerita mereka tetap sama. Pengalaman mereka tetap sama. Dah sedia? “Sebut aaaaa… aaa… aaaa… Ei. Berapa hari tak gosok gigi ni?”
Bukan Doktor Gugel
"Vaksin penyebab autism? Ujian air gula penyebab diabetis ibu mengandung? Mandi ketika berpeluh penyebab panau? Resdung berpunca daripada ulat? Mandi malam paru-paru berair? Bolehkah menyusu bayi selama dua tahun tanpa makanan lain?" Sebelum era digital lagi telah banyak kepercayaan meleset dan mitos yang berlegar dalam khalayak. Namun setelah meledaknya teknologi maklumat dan lahirnya ‘Encik Gugel’ kecelaruan maklumat menjadi lebih rencam dan meluas. Segala maklumat berkaitan penjagaan kesihatan dan rawatan menjadi mudah diakses. Lebih kritikal, siapa saja boleh memuatnaik sebarang maklumat tanpa memerlukan pengesahan atau kelulusan. Natijahnya, sesiapa saja boleh mempropagandakan kefahaman dan salah faham mereka sehingga menjadi satu kepercayaan yang sukar dikikis dalam masyarakat. Sesiapa saja boleh menjadi doktor. Ya, ‘Doktor Gugel’. Naskhah ini menghimpun sejumlah persoalan yang sering menular dalam masyarakat sekaligus menjadi punca kekalutan ini dan dijawab oleh individu yang berkelayakan dan terdidik dalam disiplin yang wajar dan relevan dalam isu yang berkenaan.

The Birdwoman's Palate
In this exhilarating culinary novel, a woman's road trip through Indonesia becomes a discovery of friendship, self, and other rare delicacies. Aruna is an epidemiologist dedicated to food and avian politics. One is heaven, the other earth. The two passions blend in unexpected ways when Aruna is asked to research a handful of isolated bird flu cases reported across Indonesia. While it's put a crimp in her aunt's West Java farm, and made her own confit de canard highly questionable, the investigation does provide an irresistible opportunity. It's the perfect excuse to get away from corrupt and corrosive Jakarta and explore the spices of the far-flung regions of the islands with her three friends: a celebrity chef, a globe-trotting "foodist," and her coworker Farish. From Medan to Surabaya, Palembang to Pontianak, Aruna and her friends have their fill of local cuisine. With every delicious dish, she discovers there's so much more to food, politics, and friendship. Now, this liberating new perspective on her country--and on her life--will push her to pursue the things she's only dreamed of doing.
