My review of question 2:


This is a case of 55 year old male with anasarca secondary to right heart failure.

Chief complaints of the patient were well noted in chronological order. History of present illness was depicted well in a orderly manner. Past and personal history along with family history of the patient was taken. Appropriate pictures showing generalised anasarca were uploaded without revealing the identifiers. Local examination on CVS, RS, Abdomen and CNS is well reported. Clinically relevant  investigations has been done on the patient. Treatment plan of different medications along with their dosage and dose rate has been given.


My review of question 3&4: 

Overall presentation is great. Different reasons for performing relevant clinical interventions has been well explained. In the treatment plan, reasons for each medication has been addressed.


My review of question 5:

Couldn’t agree more. This tele-medical learning is really a wonderful and innovative way to learn in this lockdown.

Question 5:
Testing scholarship competency in logging reflective observation on your concrete experience of this last month
Please reflect on and share your telemedical learning experiences from the hospital as well as community patients over the last month particularly while you were E logging their case report while even in the hospital or perhaps when locked at home.


Answer:

My tele-medical learning experience:

This month login experience was Wonderful. Most interesting part for me during this month was when I saw a patient with Diabetic chorea. In here I correlated to its physiology. I have also seen many patients with ranging from Cardiac to Renal problems, DKA, Liver & CNS issues and many more. Through this I somewhat got acquainted to hospital environment.

By going through many e blogs and also with this assessment I learned many clinical related aspects.

Only problem was some sort of audio and video connectivity. 
Besides these, everything else was fine. 

I really thank Dr Rakesh Biswas sir and all other PGs, interns and everyone for their efforts for letting us to learn from home during this pandemic.
