Aku, Dia & Cerebral Palsy....

Assalamualaikum....

Pagi tadi aku ade kelas patho nervous system. Hari ni belajar psl 3 penyakit; cerebral palsy, epilepsy, & peripheral nerves disease. Aduiii...dah tambah 3 lagi penyakit. Setakat ni, untuk patho Nervous ada 12 penyakit kena kover untuk final exam. Semua2 tu pulak ada banyak pecahannya sendiri. Ni tak termasuk sistem2 lain.

Okes, tadi masa tengah solat terawikh tadi, aku terfikir untuk cite kat sini secara ringkas apa yang aku dah belajar setiap hari (nampak sangat tak khusyuk masa solat tadi.huhu). Jadi sekurang2nya aku akan revise balik apa yang dah belajar tadi.

So lets start with the 1st one. Known as cerebral palsy. Dalam BM tak pasti apa, tp yang pastinya ia adalah masalah pergerakan dan keseimbangan terhadap kanak2 yang baru lahir.
