Ubani uSokhemisi Wenuzi? Ake sixoxe ngalokhu ngokuningiliziwe!

Kungenzeka ukuthi awukaze uzwe ngegama elithi 'iNuclear Pharmacist' ngaphambili. Noma, mhlawumbe wena noma othile omaziyo kuye kwadingeka ukuthi ahlolwe noma aphathwe ngemithi yeNuclear, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi uke wezwa ngalochwepheshe. Ngakho-ke, ubani iNuclear Pharmacist? Iyini indima yabo? Ingabe lokhu kuyinto okufanele uyesabe ngempela? Ungakhathazeki, sizoxoxa ngakho konke lokhu ngendlela elula kakhulu namuhla, ngendlela ongayiqonda.

Ubani uSokhemisi Wenuzi?

Kalula nje, usokhemisi wenyukliya ungusokhemisi othole ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile ekukhiqizeni nasekusatshalalisweni kwemithi ekhipha imisebe, okungukuthi, ` (Radiopharmaceuticals)` (abanye abantu babiza lezi ngokuthi `(Radioactive Drugs)`). Ngaphambilini, laba bantu babebizwa ngokuthi `(Radiopharmacist)`. Le mithi ekhethekile, ebizwa ngokuthi `(Radiopharmaceuticals), ibalulekile ekuhlolweni nasekuphathweni okwenziwa `(Nuclear Medicine)`.

Cabanga nje, sisebenzisa indlela ebizwa ngokuthi "i-Nuclear Medicine Imaging" ukuze sibone ukuthi izitho noma izicubu ezingaphakathi emizimbeni yethu zisebenza kahle yini. Eziningi zalezi zivivinyo, unikezwa umuthi oqukethe lesi sidakamizwa esinomsakazo, kungaba ukuphuza, ukuthimula, noma njengomjovo. Lokhu sikubiza ngokuthi "i-Radiotracer". Uma lokhu kungena emzimbeni, odokotela bangakubona ngohlobo olukhethekile lwekhamera futhi bathole ukuqonda okungcono ngokusebenza kwezitho zakho.

Ngokuvamile, kwenziwa izivivinyo ezinjengalezi:

• Bheka ukusebenza kwenhliziyo yakho.
• Hlola izinkinga zamaphaphu .
• Thola ukuthi izinso zakho zisebenza kahle yini.
• Hlola isimo senyongo .
• Thola izinkinga ze-thyroid .

Futhi, le mithi ekhipha imisebe isetshenziselwa ukwelapha ezinye izifo. Okwenzekayo ukuthi le mithi iya ngqo endaweni lapho kukhona khona amangqamuzana ayingozi, bese ibhubhisa lawo maseli noma iyeke ukukhula kwawo. Isibonelo, `(Radioactive Iodine Therapy)` (ukwelashwa kwezinye izifo zendlala yegilo) kanye `(Brachytherapy)` (ukwelashwa ngemisebe okusetshenziselwa ukubhubhisa amangqamuzana omdlavuza) yizibonelo ezimbili ezinhle zalokhu.

Iyini le Khemisi Yenuzi?

I-Nuclear Pharmacy iyinkambu ekhethekile emkhakheni we-Pharmacy. Ihilela kakhulu ukukhiqizwa, ukucubungula, kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwezinto ezikhipha imisebe ezidingekayo ekuhlolweni nasekuphathweni kwemithi yenuzi.

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zamakhemisi enuzi. Elinye yilelo elitholakala ezibhedlela. Bese kuthi lelo khemisi lingaphansi koMnyango Wezokwelapha Zenuzi wesibhedlela. Elinye yikhemisi lenuzi eliqhutshwa ngokwezentengiselwano. Lawa yiwo ahlinzeka ngemithi edingekayo kwezinye izibhedlela.

Empeleni, umqondo wekhemisi lenuzi umusha kancane ezweni lezokwelapha. Lokhu bekulokhu kukhona kusukela ngawo-1970.

Uyini umehluko phakathi kosokhemisi ojwayelekile nosokhemisi wenyukliya?

Manje ungase ucabange, "Ngakho-ke usokhemisi ungumuntu onikeza umuthi, uyini umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwalokhu okubili?" Yebo, usokhemisi ojwayelekile kanye nosokhemisi wenyukliya bobabili balungiselela futhi bakhiphe imithi ngokwemiyalelo kadokotela. Kodwa umehluko omkhulu uhlobo lwemithi abayisebenzisayo.

Cabanga nje, uma uya ekhemisi elivamile, unikezwa ama-antibiotic noma imithi yomfutho wegazi ngqo ngokwemiyalelo kadokotela oyinikezwe udokotela. Kodwa lokho okwenziwa usokhemisi we-nyukliya ukulungisa imithi ekhipha imisebe (i-Radiopharmaceuticals) bese eyinika uMnyango Wezokwelapha Ze-Nuclear wesibhedlela. Ngemuva kwalokho, isazi se-radiology (i-Radioologist) sinikeza isiguli lowo muthi njengengxenye yokuhlolwa noma ukwelashwa.

Okubaluleke kakhulu, osokhemisi benyukliya bathola ukuqeqeshwa okubanzi, okukhethekile ngokuphepha kwemisebe. Bafunda nezinye izinto eziningi ezihlobene nokuphatha izinto ezikhipha imisebe. Usokhemisi ojwayelekile akadingi lolu hlobo lokuqeqeshwa.

Yini ngempela eyenziwa yisazi semithi yenuzi?

Kunemisebenzi eminingana enikezwe usokhemisi wenyukliya. Ake sibheke ukuthi iyini:

• Ukuphatha amasheya emithi ekhipha imisebe nezinye izinto ezidingekayo: Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngoba, le mithi ekhipha imisebe ayifani nemithi ejwayelekile. Izakhiwo zayo ezikhipha imisebe ziyancipha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi (sizibiza ngokuthi 'i-Decay'). Ngakho-ke, kungumthwalo wabo wemfanelo ukuzigcina kahle, ukuhlola izinsuku zokuphelelwa kwazo, nokuhlola njalo ukuthi zisesilinganisweni esifanele.
• Ukulungiswa Kwemithi Ye-Radiopharmaceuticals: Osokhemisi be-nyukliya balungisa le mithi ngesilinganiso esifanele nangendlela ephephile, njengoba kunqunywe udokotela, yesiguli esithile, ukuhlolwa, noma ukwelashwa. Lona umsebenzi obucayi kakhulu.
• Ukunikeza imithi ngokwemiyalelo etholwe kodokotela bemithi yenuzi: Baqinisekisa ukuthi imithi eqondile inikezwa, ngesilinganiso esifanele, nangesikhathi esifanele.
• Imishini yokuhlola ukuqinisekisa ikhwalithi nokuphepha: Kunemishini esetshenziselwa ukwenza nokukala le mithi. Umsebenzi wabo ukuhlola njalo ukuthi ilinganiswe kahle futhi iphephile.
• Ukuphathwa ngendlela efanele kwezinto ezingaba yingozi: Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, kufanele kuqashelwe kakhulu lapho kusetshenzwa ngezinto ezikhipha imisebe. Ngakho-ke, baphatha lezi zinto ngokwethembeka okukhulu, besebenzisa izinqubo zokuphepha ezifanele kanye nemishini.
• Ngaphambi kokuba udokotela we-radiation anikeze umuthi onemisebe, kumele aqinisekise ukuthi isiguli sikulungele kahle:Ngezinye izikhathi, iziguli kudingeka zilandele imiyalelo ethile ngaphambi kwalezi zivivinyo (isibonelo, ukungadli noma ukuphuza amanzi kuphela). Ziphinde ziqaphe yonke into ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke kuhamba kahle.

Ngaphezu kwalezi zinto, isazi semithi yenyukliya ngezinye izikhathi sisiza ekufundiseni ochwepheshe bemithi yenyukliya kanye nabantu abahlala emithini yenyukliya.

Kunezindawo eziningana lapho osokhemisi benyukliya bangasebenza khona:

• Ezibhedlela
• Emakhemisi akhethekile enuzi
• Ezikoleni zezokwelapha
• Ezikhungweni zocwaningo zikahulumeni nezangasese

Ingabe ikhemisi lenuzi liphephile?

Kuvamile ukuthi abantu abaningi bazizwe besaba kancane uma bezwa igama elithi “radioactive.” Ungase ucabange izinto ezinjengokuthi, “Kuzokwenzekani uma lo muthi ungena emzimbeni wakho?” noma “Abantu abasebenza kula makhemisi abalungile yini?”

Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, yize osokhemisi benyukliya besebenza ngezinto ezikhipha imisebe nsuku zonke, ukuchayeka kwabo emisebeni kuphansi kakhulu. Lokho kungenxa yezinyathelo zokuphepha eziqinile abazilandelayo. Futhi, ukuze ube usokhemisi wenyukliya oqinisekiswe yibhodi, kufanele uthole ukuqeqeshwa okubanzi ngokuphepha kwemisebe.

Umthofu uyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuvimba imisebe evela ezintweni ezinemisebe. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, osokhemisi benyukliya basebenza ngemuva kwezihlangu zeglasi ezikhethekile ezenziwe ngomthofu. Ngisho nezinaliti abazisebenzisayo ziza nezihlangu zesirinji zeglasi ezinemisebe. Futhi, imithi enemisebe igcinwa ezitsheni ezikhethekile ezinemisebe. Ngakho-ke, ukuphepha kwayo kuqinisekiswa kakhulu. Ngakho-ke akudingeki ukhathazeke ngalokhu.

Uba kanjani usokhemisi wenyukliya?

Lolu uhambo alulula. Ukuze ube usokhemisi wenyukliya, udinga ukuhlangabezana neziqu ezithile. Eziyinhloko yilezi:

• Kumelwe ukuthi uthole iziqu zekhemisi esikhungweni semfundo esiqashelwayo (isibonelo, e-United States, isikhungo esivunyelwe yi-Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)).
• Kumelwe ube nelayisensi esebenzayo nesebenzayo yokusebenza njengosokhemisi.
• Kudingeka okungenani amahora angu-4,000 okuqeqeshwa kanye nesipiliyoni emkhakheni wekhemisi lenuzi. Lokhu ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile okuthatha isikhathi eside.
• Kumelwe uphumelele ukuhlolwa okukhethekile okuhlobene nekhemisi lenuzi.

Kungemva kokuqeda lezi ziqu kuphela lapho umuntu eqashelwa njengosokhemisi wenyukliya oqinisekiswe yibhodi.

Bangaki osokhemisi benyukliya abakhona emhlabeni?

Njengamanje, isibonelo, e-United States, kunabalinganisi bemithi yenuzi abaqinisekisiwe yibhodi ababalelwa ku-350 kuya ku-400. Lona umkhakha okhethekile kakhulu. Lo mkhakha uthuthuka kancane kancane eSri Lanka.

Ekugcineni, kufanele ngikutshele... (Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya)

Kuvamile ukuzizwa ukhathazekile futhi ukhathazekile kancane uma utshelwa ukuthi kuzodingeka uhlolwe noma welashwe ngezinto ezikhipha imisebe. Sonke siyaqonda lokho.

Kodwa into ebaluleke kakhulu okudingeka uyikhumbule ukuthi udokotela wakho (ikakhulukazi isazi se-radiology) uzosebenzisana kakhulu nosokhemisi we-nuclear. Bazoqinisekisa ukuthi umthamo womuthi we-radioactive owunikezwayo ulungile futhi uphephile.

Ngakho-ke, uma unemibuzo mayelana nalolu vivinyo, imithi esetshenzisiwe, noma yonke inqubo, ungangabazi ukubuza udokotela wakho noma abasebenzi. Bazokuchazela konke. Ukwazi kwakho kanye nenduduzo yakho kubaluleke kakhulu kubo.
