The referred blog :
https://uakanksha.blogspot.com/2021/07/135-uakanksha.html?m=1
The explanation was good, but the certain points could have been highlighted. If a summary of patients details were given it would have been much easier to understand.
- The relevant medical history of the patient has been shared in a comprehensive and systematic manner. The problem list was well mentioned.
- The case sheet has captured all the relevant data in the right order.
- Correct terminology was used.
- The reports of all the lab investigations conducted were deidentified and shared.
Q2) 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.
ANSWER
The link to my blog link:
The above link : A 35yr Old female with shrunken kidney ,renal calculi .
Q3) (Testing peer review competency of the examinees) :
Please go through the cases in the links shared above and provide your critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties around the cases shared.
ANSWER:
The case has been presented very clearly . The history taking and examination has been done precisely , providing all required information for the reader to understand the case . All the associated clinical pictures have also been provided. The data provided is correct and complete.
The data provided is correct . But lack the discharge summary.
The case has been presented very clearly and to the point . All the data pertaining to the case has been provided . History taking and all the other investigations carried out have been done and presented meticulously .

Q 5) Testing scholarship competency in Reflective logging
ANSWER:
Reflective logging of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research. Reflective logging enable the student to stay up to date and keep a track of their progress . They enable one to apply their theoretical knowledge into practical application. In the times of COVID when we are unable to physically attend clinical posting and acquiring practical knowledge , logs enable us to keeping a track of the patient assigned and practice important skills like history taking .
This helped me to understand the topic of "patient clinical data analysis" to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and come up with diagnosis and treatment plan.
Reflective logging give us an opportunity to know the patient and study the case, inspite of us not being in the hospital.
