I'd been scuba diving with a group

dan semuanya menakjubkan:
00:23
and it had been glorious:

ikan pari, hiu paus,
00:24
manta rays, whale sharks,

00:30
Today's dive was particularly tricky.

3402
Penyelaman zaman sekarang ini cukup sulit.
Gelombangnya buruk.
00:34
The surge was terrible.
7
22101

Anda harus pegang rig kamera erat-erat
dengan tangan berjaga-jaga
dengan tangan berjaga-jaga
00:35
You had to have your camera rig tight in
8
23356
2190
00:37
and your arm out,
9
25570
1152
karena gelombang terus
menghempas Anda ke bebatuan

00:38
because the surge kept
throwing you into the rocks

Semua baik-baik saja, sampai ...
00:43
It was going OK, until ...
12
31772
2530
tidak baik-baik saja,
00:46
not OK.
13
34326
1565
Ada yang amat sangat salah.
00:47
Something was terribly, terribly wrong.
14
35915
3102
00:51
I pulled my hand back,
15
39552
1836
Saya menarik tangan saya,
ada duri bulu babi panjang dan hitam
00:53
and I had long, black sea urchin spines
16
41412
2642
menembus sarung tangan saya,
00:56
all the way through my gloves,
17
44078
1600
yang artinya menembus tangan saya.
00:57
which meant all the way through my hand.
18
45702
2099
01:00
Now, this is bad.
19
48344
2012
Nah, ini buruk.
Maksudnya, tentu ketika ada
sesuatu menembus tangan Anda,
sesuatu menembus tangan Anda,
01:02
I mean, obviously when you have something
all the way through your hand,
all the way through your hand,
20
50380
3485
itu pasti buruk.
01:05
it's kind of bad anyway,
21
53889
1214
Tapi di sini,
01:07
but in this case, sea urchins
have a venom on them that,
have a venom on them that,
22
55127
4180
bulu babi punya racun
yang jika Anda pernah terkena,
yang jika Anda pernah terkena,
01:11
if you've ever tangled with them,
23
59331
1593
Anda tahu duri bulu babi menyebabkan
bengkak yang sangat buruk dan menyakitkan.
bengkak yang sangat buruk dan menyakitkan.
01:12
you know that a sea urchin spine in you
gives you horrible, painful inflammation.
gives you horrible, painful inflammation.
24
60948
4647
Tapi bahkan itu bukan
apa yang saya pikirkan waktu itu.
apa yang saya pikirkan waktu itu.
01:17
But that wasn't even topmost
in my mind at this point.
in my mind at this point.
25
65619
2697
Ini tidak terlihat nyata.
01:20
This did not look real.
26
68340
2151
Saya tidak percaya itu tangan saya.
01:22
I could not believe that this was my hand.
27
70515
2464
Nah, di saat krisis, saya memecah pikiran
seperti ilmuwan kecil,
seperti ilmuwan kecil,
01:25
Now, in a crisis, I tend to disassociate
into, like, little scientists,
into, like, little scientists,
28
73003
4759
01:29
and I start talking very analytically.
29
77786
3117
dan saya mulai bicara secara analitis.
01:32
All analysis was gone,
adrenaline brain kicked in,
adrenaline brain kicked in,
30
80927
2979
Saat semua analisa hilang,
adrenalin pada otak mulai bekerja,
adrenalin pada otak mulai bekerja,
dan saya cabut saja bulunya.
01:35
and I just yanked the spines out.
31
83930
2839
01:38
I don't remember doing it.
32
86793
2139
Saya tak ingat melakukannya.
Saya hanya ingat berpikir, "Saya tak bisa
lepas sarung tangan kalau masih menancap."
lepas sarung tangan kalau masih menancap."
01:41
I just remember thinking, "I can't
get my glove off with these in here."
get my glove off with these in here."
33
89665
3857
01:45
I do remember taking the glove off
34
93546
2096
Saya ingat saya melepas sarung tangan
dan gumpalan cairan hitam
menyebar di depan wajah saya.
menyebar di depan wajah saya.
01:47
and a big plume of black
coming up in front of my face.
coming up in front of my face.
35
95666
3654
01:51
And biologist brain now shows up
and starts freaking out.
and starts freaking out.
36
99875
4428
Dan otak biologis muncul
dan mulai ketakutan,
dan mulai ketakutan,
"Bagaimana mungkin racunnya
sudah masuk ke dalam luka?"
sudah masuk ke dalam luka?"
01:56
"How could all that toxin
have gotten into that wound already?"
have gotten into that wound already?"
37
104327
3169
Yah, otak dokter kemudian muncul
dan dengan tenangnya menjelaskan,
dan dengan tenangnya menjelaskan,
01:59
Well, physicist brain then shows up
and very calmly explains,
and very calmly explains,
38
107520
4121
"Tidak, tidak, kita di kedalaman 50 kaki,
02:03
"No, no, no, we're at 50 feet,
39
111665
1698
02:05
red wavelengths are attenuated.
40
113387
1477
gelombang warna merah lemah,
itu darah -- bukan cairan hitam.
02:06
That's blood -- not black.
41
114888
1931
02:10
And sharks.
42
118566
1388
Dan hiu.
02:12
So what are you gonna do?"
43
120793
1599
Jadi kau mau bagaimana?"
02:14
Well, I cranked my cummerbund
down really hard over my hand,
down really hard over my hand,
44
122965
4566
Yah, saya menekan tangan saya
pada ikat pinggang dengan sangat erat,
pada ikat pinggang dengan sangat erat,
Dan saya berenang menjauh begitu saja.
02:19
and I simply swam away.
45
127555
2753
02:23
"Let's let that big old cloud of blood
dissipate a bit before we have to surface
dissipate a bit before we have to surface
46
131078
5314
"Biarkan gumpalan darah itu agak hilang
sebelum kita naik ke permukaan
sebelum kita naik ke permukaan
melalui semua hiu itu."
02:28
through all of these sharks."
47
136416
1808
Jadi saat naik ke permukaan,
02:30
So when I did surface,
48
138248
1467
otak mamalia berdarah panas saya
02:31
my warm-blooded-mammal brain
49
139739
1901
penuh dengan ocehan kepanikan:
02:33
was in an absolute gibbering panic:
50
141664
2052
"Mereka tidak berburu saat berkelompok.
Mereka tidak berburu saat berkelompok.
Mereka tidak berburu saat berkelompok.
02:35
"They don't feed when they're schooling.
They don't feed when they're schooling.
They don't feed when they're schooling.
51
143740
4128
Sampai ke permukaan."
02:39
All the way up."
52
147892
1327
Dan memang tidak.
02:41
And they didn't.
53
149243
1184
Jadi ternyata, mereka sudah baca
buku yang sama seperti saya.
buku yang sama seperti saya.
02:42
So apparently, they have read
the same books that I have.
the same books that I have.
54
150451
3216
(Tawa)
02:45
(Laughter)
55
153691
1392
Nah, ternyata,
02:47
Now, it turns out,
56
155107
1428
ketika Anda sudah tertusuk duri bulu babi,
02:48
when you've been stabbed
with sea urchin spines,
with sea urchin spines,
57
156559
2312
dan Anda berada dua hari lamanya
dari pertolongan medis,
dari pertolongan medis,
02:50
and you're two days away
from any medical help,
from any medical help,
58
158895
2678
yang harus dilakukan adalah,
malangnya, memasak tangan Anda.
malangnya, memasak tangan Anda.
02:53
the thing that you've got to do
is, unfortunately, cook your hand.
is, unfortunately, cook your hand.
59
161597
4223
02:58
So you put it in water
as hot as you can stand,
as hot as you can stand,
60
166621
2644
Jadi, masukkan tangan
ke air sepanas yang bisa ditahan,
ke air sepanas yang bisa ditahan,
dan terus tambahkan air mendidih
03:01
and you keep adding boiling water
61
169289
1635
sampai Anda pikir bahwa
Anda benar-benar akan jadi gila.
Anda benar-benar akan jadi gila.
03:02
until you think you will go
absolutely insane.
absolutely insane.
62
170948
3314
Nah, cara itu berhasil --
03:06
Now, it worked --
63
174286
1411
03:08
the hand itself did not work so well
for several weeks after that,
for several weeks after that,
64
176249
4137
tangannya sendiri tidak begitu baik
beberapa minggu setelahnya,
beberapa minggu setelahnya,
tapi pada akhirnya,
motorik halusnya pulih.
motorik halusnya pulih.
03:12
but eventually,
fine motor skills returned.
fine motor skills returned.
65
180410
3138
Semuanya kecuali satu titik,
yang tetap kaku dan sakit beberapa minggu
yang tetap kaku dan sakit beberapa minggu
03:15
All except for one spot, that stayed
stiff and painful for weeks
stiff and painful for weeks
66
183572
4594
setelah yang lainnya membaik.
03:20
after the other things had gotten better.
67
188190
2202
Jadi ternyata, saya mematahkan
ujung duri bulu babi
ujung duri bulu babi
03:22
So it turned out, I'd broken off
a tip of the urchin spine
a tip of the urchin spine
68
190416
4244
pada persendiannya,
03:26
in the joint itself,
69
194684
2103
dan itu sebabnya lukanya tidak membaik.
03:28
and that's why it wasn't getting better.
70
196811
1950
Ahli ortopedi mengatakan,
"Anda tahu, ini harus dikeluarkan.
"Anda tahu, ini harus dikeluarkan.
03:30
So the orthopedist says,
"You know, we should get this out.
"You know, we should get this out.
71
198785
2959
Tak ada yang gawat, tidak darurat."
03:33
Nothing too urgent, not an emergency."
72
201768
2646
Jadi kami menjadwalkan operasi kecil
di hari Senin beberapa minggu kemudian.
di hari Senin beberapa minggu kemudian.
03:36
So we scheduled a small surgery
for a few weeks out on a Monday.
for a few weeks out on a Monday.
73
204438
3403
03:40
And on the Friday before,
74
208476
2452
Dan hari Jumat sebelumnya,
tulang panggul saya patah
dari kecelakaan menunggang kuda.
dari kecelakaan menunggang kuda.
03:42
I broke my pelvis
in a horseback riding accident.
in a horseback riding accident.
75
210952
3068
(Tawa)
03:46
(Laughter)
76
214044
1699
Yah.
03:47
Yeah.
77
215767
1209
Jadi, kami menunda operasinya.
03:49
So we kind of postponed that surgery.
78
217000
2611
03:52
My broken pelvis and I were now
facing six weeks on the couch,
facing six weeks on the couch,
79
220461
4557
Tulang panggul saya dan saya saat itu
menjalani enam minggu di sofa.
menjalani enam minggu di sofa.
dan saya pasti bisa gila
jika bukan karena teman saya.
jika bukan karena teman saya.
03:57
and I would have gone absolutely insane
if it hadn't been for my friends.
if it hadn't been for my friends.
80
225042
5104
Pesta dadakan diadakan di rumah saya
setiap malam selama beberapa minggu.
setiap malam selama beberapa minggu.
04:02
Spontaneous parties broke out
at my house every night for weeks.
at my house every night for weeks.
81
230170
3459
Saya mendapat makanan. Saya terhibur.
04:05
I was fed. I was entertained.
82
233653
2276
Menyenangkan.
04:07
It was great.
83
235953
1325
04:10
But that kind of enthusiasm is sort of
hard to sustain over the long term,
hard to sustain over the long term,
84
238015
3921
Tapi antusiasme semacam itu
sulit dipertahankan dalam jangka panjang,
sulit dipertahankan dalam jangka panjang,
dan akhirnya berkurang
sampai hanya satu teman saja,
sampai hanya satu teman saja,
04:13
and eventually it petered down
to just one friend,
to just one friend,
85
241960
3296
yang mengirimkan guyonan di siang hari
04:17
who would send me jokes during the day
86
245280
1992
datang dan menemani saya di malam hari --
04:19
and come and keep me company
in the evenings --
in the evenings --
87
247296
2604
seseorang yang bisa saya kenal lebih dalam
selama periode pemulian ini.
selama periode pemulian ini.
04:21
someone I got to know a whole lot better
during this period of convalescence.
during this period of convalescence.
88
249924
4366
Dan saat saya akhirnya cukup sehat
untuk mengangkat beban berat,
untuk mengangkat beban berat,
04:26
And when I was finally
pronounced well enough
pronounced well enough
89
254314
2116
04:28
to do weight-bearing activities,
90
256454
1690
kami mengangkut teleskop ke mobil
dan berkendara naik ke pegunungan
dan berkendara naik ke pegunungan
04:30
we loaded a telescope in the car
and drove up into the mountains
and drove up into the mountains
91
258168
3039
untuk melihat komet Hale-Bopp.
04:33
to look at the Hale–Bopp comet.
92
261231
2116
Ya, kami kutu buku.
04:35
Yes, we are geeks.
93
263371
2094
04:37
And got caught in a landslide.
94
265489
1700
Dan terperosok di tanah longsor.
(Tawa)
04:39
(Laughter)
95
267213
1945
Aku tahu-- sungguh?
04:41
I know -- like, really?
96
269182
2264
04:44
No. Just kidding.
97
272051
1462
Tidak. Bercanda saja.
(Tawa)
04:45
(Laughter)
98
273537
1182
Tak ada lagi bencana. Tidak.
Tapi sebaliknya.
Tapi sebaliknya.
04:46
No more disasters. No.
Just the opposite, in fact.
Just the opposite, in fact.
99
274743
2932
Itu 21 tahun yang lalu,
04:49
That was 21 years ago,
100
277699
1540
Dan selama 19 tahun itu,
04:51
and for 19 of those years,
101
279263
1887
saya telah menikah dengan
si pendiam yang mengagumkan itu
si pendiam yang mengagumkan itu
04:53
I have been married
to that marvelous introvert
to that marvelous introvert
102
281174
3600
yang takkan pernah mendekati saya
di keadaan yang lain.
di keadaan yang lain.
04:56
who never in a million years
would have approached me
would have approached me
103
284798
2512
04:59
under other circumstances.
104
287334
1691
Kami dianugerahi
puteri 14 tahun yang hebat,
puteri 14 tahun yang hebat,
05:01
We have a wonderful 14-year-old daughter,
105
289049
2060
yang menggambar semua ilustrasi saya.
05:03
who did all my illustrations.
106
291133
1607
05:04
(Cheers and applause)
107
292764
1576
(Sorak dan tepuk tangan)
Ya.
Ya.
05:06
Yeah.
108
294364
1162
Jadi, kiat pro: ternyata,
tak ada yang membuat Anda seksi
tak ada yang membuat Anda seksi
05:07
So, pro tip:
109
295550
1338
05:08
apparently, nothing makes you sexier
than needing a walker
than needing a walker
110
296912
2784
selain alat bantu jalan di kencan pertama.
05:11
on your first date.
111
299720
1235
05:13
So this isn't a story about piercings
112
301393
2613
Jadi ini bukan cerita tentang tertusuk,
atau hiu, atau merebus, atau mematahkan.
05:16
or sharks or boilings or breakings.
113
304030
2785
Ini kisah cinta.
05:18
It's a love story.
114
306839
1434
05:20
It's a love story with
a funny little epilogue.
a funny little epilogue.
115
308758
2888
Ini kisah cinta dengan
sedikit epilog yang lucu.
sedikit epilog yang lucu.
05:24
Now I was weight-bearing again,
I could reschedule that surgery,
I could reschedule that surgery,
116
312845
4030
Sekarang saya sudah bisa berjalan,
saya bisa menjadwal ulang operasinya,
saya bisa menjadwal ulang operasinya,
untuk mencabut durinya.
05:28
get the spine out.
117
316899
1296
Tapi saya tak butuh lagi.
05:30
But I didn't need it anymore.
118
318219
1537
05:32
Turns out, when you break a bone,
119
320407
1700
Ternyata, saat Anda patah tulang,
tubuh Anda mengumpulkan kalsium
dari seluruh tulang di tubuh --
dari seluruh tulang di tubuh --
05:34
your body scavenges calcium
from all the bones in your body --
from all the bones in your body --
120
322131
3926
dan juga dari duri bulu babi kecil
yang telah bersarang
yang telah bersarang
05:38
and from the little sea urchin spine
that you happen to have lodged
that you happen to have lodged
121
326081
3889
pada sendi jari Anda.
05:41
in the joint of your finger.
122
329994
2004
Jadi ya,
05:44
So yes,
123
332022
1263
05:46
my pelvis is now part sea urchin.
124
334094
3388
tulang panggul saya sekarang ini
sebagian bulu babi.
sebagian bulu babi.
(Tawa)
05:49
(Laughter)
125
337506
1825
Jadi selain otak biologi, otak dokter,
otak adrenalin, otak mamalia,
otak adrenalin, otak mamalia,
05:51
So to biology brain, physicist brain,
126
339355
3090
05:54
adrenaline brain,
warm-blooded-mammal brain,
warm-blooded-mammal brain,
127
342469
2147
saya tambahkan "otak bulu babi,"
05:56
I get to add "urchin brain,"
128
344640
2008
dengan semua kekuatan super
yang dibawanya.
yang dibawanya.
05:58
with all of the superpowers
that that confers.
that that confers.
129
346672
3302
Anda tak perlu khawatir:
bahwa saya bukan sepenuhnya manusia,
bahwa saya bukan sepenuhnya manusia,
06:02
You don't need to worry, though:
130
350393
1536
06:03
that I am not fully human
is one of the things
is one of the things
131
351953
2159
itu salah satu hal yang keluarga saya
paling cintai akan saya.
paling cintai akan saya.
06:06
that my family loves the most about me.
132
354136
1993
(Tawa)
06:08
(Laughter)
133
356153
1087
06:09
Thank you very much.
134
357264
1195
Terima kasih banyak.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Catherine Mohr - RoboticistCatherine Mohr loves what she does -- she's just not ever sure what it will be next.
Why you should listen
An engineer turned surgeon turned strategist, Catherine Mohr is always on the lookout for new technologies to help improve patient outcomes while trying to stay in her sweet spot -- the steep part of the learning curve.
As VP of Strategy for Intuitive Surgical in Silicon Valley, faculty at Singularity University and advisor to med-tech startups in the UK, the US and her native New Zealand, Mohr follows her self-admittedly geeky passions wherever they lead her, as she designs, makes, writes, tinkers, plays and travels all over the world.
