Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, iNational Football League ibisematheni ngokuthi ibisisingatha kanjani imiphumela engaba yingozi kakhulu yokuhlukumezeka ekhanda nokuphazamiseka. Izinkulumo ezihlebayo zazihlanganisa nokuthi "kuyingozi kangakanani ukungqubuzana?" futhi "ngabe iLigi yenza okwanele?"

Ngo-Ephreli, ijaji lakhipha isinqumo ngecala elibhekene ne-NFL, linikeza izinkulungwane zabadlali asebethathe umhlalaphansi imali efinyelela ku-$5 million umuntu ngamunye ngezinkinga ezinkulu zezokwelapha ezibangelwa ukulimala okuphindaphindiwe. Kepha, ngaleso sikhathi, i-League yayisivele isidale isikhundla esisha sokubheka udaba lokushayisana kanye nendlela yokuvikela abadlali kangcono, kanye nokuvikela impilo yabasubathi jikelele: uMeluleki oMkhulu Wezokwelapha weNFL.

Ubani othathwe ukuze afeze le ndima entsha? Abaningi bamangala kancane ukuzwa igama lowesifazane libizwa, kodwa mhlawumbe lokho kungenxa yokuthi abakaze bafunde incwadi kaDkt Elizabeth Nabel. Akukhona nje ukuthi uNabel ungudokotela odumile wezifo zenhliziyo kanye nomongameli wesibhedlela esihlonishwayo iBrigham and Women's Hospital eBoston, kodwa futhi unguprofesa eHarvard Medical School, owayengumqondisi weNational Institute of Health's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, waze wasiza ekutholeni lesi sifo. Umkhankaso weQiniso Lenhliziyo (owaziwa nangokuthi umkhankaso we "Red Dress", okuhloswe ngawo ukuqwashisa ngempilo yenhliziyo yabesifazane) ungasuki phansi. (Kuzwakala sengathi usendleleni yokuba ngomunye wabesifazane abangu-18 Emlandweni Abashintshe Umdlalo Wezempilo Nokuqina.)

Manje, lo dokotela omatasa kakhulu uzobheka ezempilo nokuphila kahle kwamadoda adlala umdlalo obhekwe kakhulu ezweni-futhi ngokubonakala kwebhola lezinyawo, ucabanga ukuthi isikhundla sakhe singaba nomthelela omkhulu kunabafana abakwiLigi . Njengoba kuqala isizini yeNFL, sihlangane noDkt Elizabeth Nabel ukuthola okwengeziwe ngendima yakhe entsha.

Umumo: Yini eyakwenza wafuna ukuthathaiIsikhundla esisha seNFL soMqondisi Omkhulu Wezokwelapha?

U-Elizabeth Nabel (EN): I-NFL inesiteji esingenakuqhathaniswa sokuthinta ushintsho - hhayi ebholeni kuphela noma kwezemidlalo yezobuchwepheshe, kepha kubagijimi bayo yonke iminyaka, kuyo yonke imidlalo-yingakho bengifuna ukuthatha le ndima. Ngokuzibophezela okujulile kweNFL ocwaningweni lwezesayensi-nokukhathazeka okukhulu kwezemidlalo ezungeze ezempilo, ikakhulukazi izingxabano-ngabona ukuthi kungenzeka kube nomthelela. Ukusetshenziswa kocwaningo lwezokwelapha nentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe, kuhlanganiswe nokuqeqeshwa kwabadlali nabaqeqeshi, kwenze umdlalo waphepheka, kodwa kuningi okumelwe kwenziwe. Ngokusiza ukwenza ezemidlalo ziphephe, ngingaba yingxenye yokuthuthukisa impilo yomphakathi wethu wonkana, futhi lokho kuyajabulisa kakhulu! Njengomzali, futhi ngethemba ukuthi ngelinye ilanga ngingugogo noma umkhulu, ngiyaziqhenya ngokubamba iqhaza ekubumbeni isiko lokuphepha lesizukulwane esilandelayo. (UNabel akuyena kuphela owesifazane omusha eqenjini le-NFL. Nakhu Okufanele Ukwazi NgoJen Welter, Umqeqeshi Omusha Kunabo Bonke weNFL.)

Umumo:Laphoziyinqwaba yezinkinga zezempilo ezingase zihluphe abadlali ku-NFL. Usukhulume kanjani nendima yakho njengomeluleki, ikakhulukazi ngemvelaphi yakho njengodokotela wenhliziyo?

EN: Iqhaza lami njengomeluleki osemaqhinga weligi wukuqinisekisa ukuthi izingqondo ezigqamile nezigqamile kuzo zonke amakhono zisebenza ngokubambisana ukwenza umdlalo uphephe. Njengodokotela wenhliziyo, nginentshisekelo yesikhathi eside empilweni nempilo enhle, futhi siyazi ukuthi ukuzivocavoca nokuzibandakanya kwezemidlalo kuyisici esikhulu salokho. Imayelana nokwenza ezokuphepha ezemidlalo nokukhuthaza ezempilo nganoma iyiphi indlela.

Umumo:Izimpikiswanoku-NFL kube yisihloko esikhulu sengxoxo. Ufundeni ngokulimala kobuchopho kuze kube manje?

EN: Ngikholelwa ngokuqinile emandleni ocwaningo olusekelwe ebufakazini nasekuhumusheni okutholakele entuthukweni yezokwelapha ezokwenza ngcono impilo nokuphepha kwabo bonke abantu abadlala imidlalo. Sisekuqaleni kokuqonda imiphumela yesikhathi eside yokulimala okuphindaphindiwe kwekhanda. Sidinga ukuqonda kangcono i-biology eyisisekelo, izindlela zokwenziwa kokulimala kwekhanda okuphindaphindiwe, ngokwesibonelo, bese ngesisekelo salokho kuqonda okuyisisekelo, singacabanga ngokwakha amathuluzi okuxilonga nokwakha izindlela zokwelashwa. Le nqubo ayisebenzi ekuhlukumezeni ikhanda kuphela, kepha nakwezinye izingqinamba. Kulo nyaka wokuqala, ngifuna ukusheshisa futhi ngijulise umsebenzi owenziwayo ngomgomo omkhulu wokwenza umdlalo uphephe kakhudlwana.

Umumo: Yini iziezinyengezinye izindaba ezinkulu obukade ubhekene nazo ezinyangeni zakho zokuqala emsebenzini?

EN: Okunye engigxile kukho yindaba yezempilo yokuziphatha. Siyazi ukuthi impilo yokuziphatha iboshelwe empilweni yomzimba, futhi sidinga ukusekela ucwaningo ukuze sithole ukuqonda okukhulu ukuthi omunye unomthelela muni komunye. Sidinga ukuqonda kangcono izehlakalo nokusabalala kokudangala, ukuzibulala, ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa, nezinye izindaba zokuziphatha - hhayi ebholeni kuphela, kodwa nakweminye imidlalo. Lolu lwazi luzosisiza ukuthi siqonde ukuthi impilo yokuziphatha ihlangana kanjani nempilo yomzimba, hhayi kuphela eminyakeni yokudlala esebenzayo, kepha kuyo yonke impilo yompetha.

Umumo: Kukhona okukumangazilemayelana neNFL kuze kube manje? Yiziphi ezinye izinto ozifundile ngeLigi obungazi zingena kuzo?

EN: Njengodokotela, umama, kanye nomlandeli, ngamangala ukufunda ngazo zonke izinhlelo eziqhubekayo kanye nezinsiza ezinkulu i-NFL ezisebenzisayo ukwenza ezemidlalo kuwo wonke amazinga ziphephe, ikakhulukazi imidlalo yentsha. Lokhu kuzibophezela kungenye yezinto ezangikhanga kule ndima. Ngikholwa ukuthi i-NFL inamandla okushayela okutholwe ocwaningweni okuzoba nomthelela wamanzi kuyo yonke imidlalo, kusukela kochwepheshe kuya kwabayimfundamakhwela ukuya kwezokungcebeleka.

Umumo: Usebenze kakhulu nabesifazane phakathi nomsebenzi wakho-eBrigham naseWomen Hospital, ngomkhankaso weThe Heart Truth. Ingabe ukuhlola nokweluleka amadoda kuhlukile kunabesifazane?

EN: Hhayi ngokuphelele. Lapho ngiphothula esikoleni sobudokotela, lo mkhakha wawugcwele abesilisa, futhi ngibe nabeluleki besilisa abaningi kanye nozakwethu kuwo wonke umsebenzi wami. Kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami, wonke umuntu-owesilisa noma owesifazane-uhlukile endleleni abaxhumana ngayo, ukuthi basebenzisana kanjani, kulokho okubagqugquzelayo, nokuthi kubakhuthaze ini. Isihluthulelo sobuholi obusebenzayo siqaphela ukuthi akusona isilinganiso esisodwa. (Akungabazeki ukuthi uNabel weqa imigoqo, njengalaba besifazane Abanamandla Abashintsha Ubuso Bamandla Amantombazane Njengoba Sikwazi.)

Umumo: Ukukhuluma ngomunye wakhosebenza, ungasitshela okwengeziwe ngomsebenzi wakho njengomongameli weBrigham neWomen?

EN: Nginenhlanhla enkulu yokuhola isibhedlela esingajwayelekile, sinabasebenzi abazinikele ngokumangalisayo abahlinzeka ukunakekelwa okuseqophelweni eliphezulu ezigulini, ukuguqula ikusasa lezokwelapha ngocwaningo, nokuqeqesha isizukulwane esilandelayo sabaholi kwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo. Okuhlukile ngeBrigham ububele babasebenzi bethu, nezindlela eziningi abaya ngazo nangaphezulu ezigulini zethu, imindeni yabo kanye nakomunye nomunye.

Umumo:Yinikube yingxenye ezuzisa kakhulu yokuhola isibhedlela esiphezulu?

EN: Esinye isici engisithola sizuzisa kakhulu lapho sifeza intuthuko-noma ngabe yesiguli esisodwa, noma ngenqubo entsha yokuphayona noma ngokutholwa kwesayensi. Ukwazi ukuthi, njengomphakathi wezokwelapha, sisindise impilo noma saba nomthelela ezingeni lempilo yomuntu kungumvuzo omkhulu kunayo yonke.

Umumo: Umawenaungabelana ngengxenye eyodwa yokuhlakanipha kwezempilo okufundile phakathi neminyaka nowesifazane ojwayelekile, kungaba yini?

EN: Zivocavoce udle ukudla okunempilo. Isifo senhliziyo sihlasela abesifazane bayo yonke iminyaka- kepha ngamunye wethu unamandla okunciphisa ubungozi. (Psst: ingenye ye-Scary Medical Diagnoses Abesifazane Abancane Abangayilindele.)
