NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE E LOGBOOK TO DISCUSS OUR PATIENT'S DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH DATA SHARED AFTER TAKING HIS/HER GUARDIAN'S SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT. HERE WE DISCUSS OUR INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S PROBLEMS THROUGH A SERIES OF INPUTS FROM THE AVAILABLE GLOBAL ONLINE COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS INTENDING TO SOLVE THOSE CLINICAL PROBLEMS WITH COLLECTIVE CURRENT BEST EVIDENCE-BASED INPUT
In the case-based blended learning ecosystem (CBBLE), I had great experiences studying general cellular and neural cellular pathology. I learned about cellular changes in different diseases and how they affect the body. The case-based approach helped me apply my knowledge to real-life situations, improving my diagnostic skills and critical thinking. Collaborating with classmates and receiving feedback from instructors made the learning process engaging and interactive. The use of technology, like virtual microscopy and online discussions, made learning accessible and flexible. Overall, my time in the CBBLE gave me valuable knowledge and skills that I can use in clinical practice and research.
My Journey in the General Medicine Department: A Student's Perspective (2018-2023)
Introduction:
I am Posham Shivashankar...
Embarking on my journey as a medical student in the General Medicine Department in 2018, I was filled with a mix of excitement, curiosity, and a deep sense of purpose. Over the course of five transformative years, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of medicine, witnessing the triumphs, challenges, and profound impact of healthcare on patients' lives. In this blog post, I will share a summarised document of my journey in the General Medicine Department from 2018 to 2023, highlighting the milestones, experiences, lessons, and personal growth I experienced along the way.
1. The Early Years: Building the Foundation (2018-2019)
The first year of my medical education was focused on laying a strong foundation pillars of medical knowledge. I attended lectures, dissection hall , laboratories, and participated in practical sessions, and dedicated countless hours to studying anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. The rigorous curriculum instilled discipline, critical thinking skills, and the ability to assimilate vast amounts of information.
2.Para Clinical Exposure: Stepping into hospital(20219-2021)
In the para clinical years, I correlated my previous knowledge I,e normal functioning of human body with abnormal characteristics and diseases and various infections from pathalogy and microbiology departments and drugs to treat these diseases I gained it from pharmacologyalong with this I was also posted in the wards
3.Clinical Exposure : Exploring the strength of bedside teaching (2021-2023)
I was transitioned from the classroom to the hospital environment. I vividly remember the excitement and nervousness as I donned my white coat and stepped into the wards. Under the guidance of senior physicians and residents, I began interacting with patients, taking medical histories, and performing physical examinations. These hands-on experiences helped me develop vital skills in patient communication, clinical reasoning, and forming differential diagnoses.
4.Rotation in various departments
During my postings in General Medicine Department I had the privilege to get exposed to various specialities such as pulmonary medicine, dermatology, psychiatry, nephrology , cardiology
These rotations broadened my understanding of the diverse spectrum of medical conditions and allowed me to appreciate the complexities of managing complex cases.
5. Learning from peers
I have learnt many things from my collegues and discussing t about the various patients with them
6.Learning from patients
Although my professors teaches the theoretical subject but I have understood the practical subject only while applying the knowledge on patients. I witnessed moments of vulnerability, strength, hope, and resilience in the faces of those fighting illness. I thank my patients for helping me to learn
Allow me to share with you the details of the cases which I took and the knowledge I gained from the department of general medicine
Blog
I am fascinated to share about this patient
She is a 70yr old lady presented with shortness of breath since 10days and is associated with paedal edema which is pitting type
She complained about the rise in temperature which is high, associated with chills and rigor
Itching over the dorsum of foot
She expressed her concern about her family and their financial conditions
The learning points
How pedal edema presents and it's types
How pedal edema can be elicited as a sign of heart failure
Shortness of breath also called dyspnea the different classification MMRC grading and NYHA classification
How SOB is associated with CCF besides a respiratory disease as SOB is a respiratory condition
And the internal assosiations
I have also learnt about speaking and counselling the patients eliciting the required answers from them
Blog
This is a case of 27 yr old lady suffering with hypocalcemia
In this case I came to know how the micro objects I,e electrolytes play an important role in regulating healthy human body
and how their abnormalities lands up in
