QUESTION 2:

Share the link to your own case report of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case ?

Ans: This yet has to be done. I’ve been seeking help from my classmate on the learning of the his ongoing case, soon after which i’ll be doing one of my own. 

QUESTION 3:

I have chosen the following case to provide my critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties...

Case - https://60shirisha.blogspot.com/2021/06/medicine-case-discussion_14.html?m=1

This is a case of Heart Failure due to left ventricular disfunction.

The history of patient is well presented and described. The investigation is presented in a proper format, with respective subheadings and the pictures of the reports were included, diagnosis is mentioned.

The thyroid profile of the patient was not included. Appropritate reason for why the patient had developed hyperthyroidism even though she had hypothyroidism for 5 years was not explained under the treatment plan, explaination should have been included for each medicine which was administered.


QUESTION 4:

Ans:

* Antiarrhythmics and anticoagulants were given to help this condition and to prevent further fibrillations but as the underlying cause (factitious hyperthyroidism) was not resolved , fatal fibrillations returned.

* Performing thyroid function tests earlier could have been lifesaving as it would help treat the underlying cause.

* All other routine investigations were done and most of them appeared normal. 

* As the patient’s presenting symptoms indicated a cardiac condition ECG and 2D echo were done whose results proved to be very useful.

QUESTION 5: Testing scholarship competency in  logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month ?

Ans: 

* This assignment has helped me learn the basics of clinical practice like the history taking, presentation of a case, how to approach a patient etc...

* This pandemic had a major impact on education.

* We are unable to attend the offline postings and meet the patient in person, in such situation, this method of eblogs has been of great help.

* As we are able to take up a case, and present it in this way even though we are not present physically in the hospital. 

* I have learnt history taking, analysis of a case, presentation of the case and also about few diseases.

* This method of learning will definitely help us become better clinicians as it is giving us early clinical exposure. 

* By reviewing the work of my peers, I have learn what mistakes should be avoided while presenting a case writing a blog. 

* I have also learnt how a given case should be presented, what points should be included and what points should be omitted. 

* I have also learnt how to analyse the given data about the patient. 

* Overall, this has been a very great experience, we have learn a lot form the postings, and are hoping to learn more and more in the coming days. 

* Iam really glad that our college had come up with eblog idea, which is encouraging and inspiring us to learn more and more.

THANK YOU...
