Mutiara Dalam Noken
-
0:02 - 0:11My colleagues used to tell me about
flying with helicopters, they're frightened
of bad weather and other things. -
0:11 - 0:14But I'm motivated to do it and feel
the challenge. -
0:17 - 0:22Way before I returned to Papua, I had a
dream, -
0:23 - 0:27that some day I would become a doctor
who flies all over to remote areas. -
0:27 - 0:29And that dream came true.
-
0:29 - 0:32PEARL IN THE NOKEN
-
0:46 - 0:50I joined the Baliem Mission Centre (BMC)
-
0:50 - 0:53In the organizational structure, I'm the
medical manager. -
0:53 - 0:58We have a bimonthly schedule.
-
0:58 - 1:05We visit some areas that are already under
BMC's purview and try to expand to another. -
1:06 - 1:07First, we go North,
-
1:08 - 1:09to the Kaimana area.
-
1:10 - 1:12There, we'll find Esrotnaba lake.
-
1:12 - 1:18It's the center for our services. And
second, to the South, the Korowai area. -
1:21 - 1:24We have strong connections with Helivida.
-
1:24 - 1:30Helivida is an organization that serves
and helps all of Papua's remote areas. -
1:35 - 1:40In one of my trips, I flew with a Helivida
pilot, Pilot Erwin. -
1:40 - 1:43We were flying at around 12 noon,
-
1:43 - 1:46because there was an emergency medivac
(Medical Evacuation) mission to one of the
small villages, -
1:46 - 1:50near the border of Oksibil and Boven Digul.
-
1:50 - 1:53It's about 2 hours and 20 minutes from
Wamena. -
1:54 - 2:06And the trip to Boven Digul requires
passing a mountainous area near Kurima,
Iberoma, Tama, and there are strong winds. -
2:06 - 2:12Suddenly, many clouds blew in and covered
the mountains, so we couldn't see anything, -
2:12 - 2:15and we couldn't fly any higher.
-
2:15 - 2:22So we followed the river of Baliem, followed
it up. But it was raining heavily. -
2:23 - 2:28I stayed quiet. Then the pilot said,
-
2:28 - 2:35"Doctor Mia, please do not worry because
we need to thank God for giving us this
heavy rain. -
2:35 - 2:39That means I don't have to clean this
chopper anymore, -
2:39 - 2:42because God is cleaning it from heaven".
-
2:42 - 2:45Yes, immediately my stress disappeared.
-
3:17 - 3:25Everyday, I'm working at the hospital and
if suddenly there's a medivac calling from
Helivida, -
3:25 - 3:27I have to be on stand-by.
-
3:27 - 3:33And at any time, whether it's good
weather, or bad, if there's a medivac
calling, -
3:33 - 3:38if there's a pilot ready, I need to get
ready to fly to evacuate patients. -
3:39 - 3:40Mum, here mum.
-
3:45 - 3:47He and I were nurses,
-
3:49 - 3:51who helped patients,
-
3:54 - 3:55up in remote areas.
-
4:02 - 4:06Even in the remote areas,
-
4:06 - 4:09where people are afraid to enter.
-
4:09 - 4:11But he and I,
-
4:11 - 4:14we have given our all to serve
these people. -
4:20 - 4:24I get my spirit from my parents.
-
4:25 - 4:37Ever since I was a child, there was always
a request for my father at my house to
conduct operations -
4:37 - 4:41He had to travel from night until morning,
often without rest. -
4:42 - 4:52If there was a patient who needed an
operation, and the doctor called, he needed
to leave to help assist. -
4:52 - 5:00Besides these complicated operations,
there was often a medivac from the MAF
(Mission Aviation Fellowship). -
5:00 - 5:04He went straight away and left us for days.
-
5:04 - 5:12So here's a community, they've gathered
so I can conduct an examination. -
5:12 - 5:15I've given them basic immunisation.
-
5:15 - 5:17I stayed and worked there.
-
5:17 - 5:20This is the local medical centre where
I worked for them. -
5:20 - 5:23It's from the old days, so only black and
white, not colour like mine. -
5:35 - 5:40There was a journey from Karumbaga
to Bokondini. That's far. -
5:40 - 5:41It's quite far.
-
5:44 - 5:48So we needed to put Mia inside of a noken
(a cloth to carry a child). -
5:48 - 5:50Because she was still so small.
-
5:51 - 5:52If she was thirsty,
-
5:52 - 5:56I needed to put her down and feed her
some milk, -
5:56 - 5:58and then continue to walk.
-
6:18 - 6:23We put her in a noken, and we climbed
a mountain. -
6:23 - 6:28It was hard to carry her on the shoulder.
-
6:28 - 6:32To climb, it's difficult. And the path was
covered by trees. -
6:32 - 6:35So many trees hit our heads, and many
other things. -
6:35 - 6:37So we couldn't move fast.
-
6:37 - 6:41But with the Noken, we can walk fast.
-
6:42 - 6:49Even when we climb up a mountain, we can
hold on to a root. Easy, right? -
7:00 - 7:05I have an story from when I was working in
Wamena in 2009, and began to work in the
Emergency Hospital there. -
7:06 - 7:08Suddenly a fight occurred between some
tribes. -
7:08 - 7:13And many of these victims were carried to
the Emergency Hospital in Wamena. -
7:13 - 7:19A senior nurse came and just touched my
head like this. -
7:20 - 7:23Yes, I understood what it meant.
-
7:23 - 7:28She just held and touched my head like this.
It means that she has once carried me in
her Noken. -
7:28 - 7:32And that her head had once carried me.
-
7:44 - 7:53I need to return all the kindness that's
been given to me by my sisters and
brothers, who I call the hands of God. -
7:53 - 7:55Money will never be enough.
-
7:56 - 8:05I must return all the kindness and love
that they've given to me. -
8:05 - 8:11I'm giving it back to all the people I've
ever treated. -
8:11 - 8:16I don't have any passion to start my own
medical business, -
8:16 - 8:20to make money from my patients,
-
8:20 - 8:22just to take care of my own welfare.
No! -
8:23 - 8:28For me, a doctor is a healer.
That's all.
