Answer:

I reviewed the above answer given by roll no 103.

       Q1) Giving qualitative and quantitative reviews is really good. Case details are also mentioned so it is easy to know which case he is referring to and finally it is an appropriate review.

        Q3) He choose five different cases which belonged to different organ systems and coming to review he correctly mentioned about the completeness, correctness of data and about the leads in analyzing the data. 

         Q4) To this question, he mentioned about 5 different cases, he listed the problems in this cases and the diagnosis and treatment given. He mentioned the drugs given to patient, it would have been better if he also mentioned the mechanism of action of those drugs. 
          Q5) He explained his past month experience very clearly and in a genuine manner. 


Question 3: (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.


    Link 1 - CKD

        
      In this presentation

Coming to correctness:- The history is not written in a proper order, everything else is perfect. 

Coming to completeness :-
-It would have been better if they also mentioned normal values. 
-It would have been better if they mentioned mechanism of actions of drugs. 
-it would have been better if they explained clearly about treatment given, because I didn't understand why to give protein powder and also Neb c duolin respules for a CKD/multiple myeloma patient. 
-It would be better if they added discharge summary too in the end. 
- The images of investigations done and radiographs and histopathalogy slides are useful. 

      Link 2 :- Patient with coma and renal failure :


-I think history is not presented correctly, that is whether it's the patient's 2nd visit or 1st visit because they mentioned diagnosis which is done 15 days back and with complaints of 7 days back. 
-images of all the investigations done are added along with echo videos and are very helpful. 
-day wise treatment is mentioned. 
-patient is suspected to have infective endocarditis based on the bacterial culture and sensitivity report. 
-from echocardiogram we can see AV vegetations and severe AR. 
-Based on MRI brain plain we can see patient has small acute infarcts involving bilateral cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres. 

 Patients with acute on CKD

-Noraml KUB link is also refered for better understanding and for comparision. 
-every day treatment is mentioned, but mechanism of action of drugs could also be mentioned. 
- Discharge summary could also be mentioned. 
- this presentation is really helpful for understanding the casecase with ease. 


-Case presentation is very well done. 
- History is taken perfectly

- important points and abnormalities are highlighted so it's more easier and faster to read and interpret this e-log . 
- treatment is also mentioned, mechanism of action of drugs could have been mentioned.

Question-5 :-Testing scholarship competency in logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month. 

- In this pandemic where we are devoid of our clinical postings and knowledge. We are trying to get something with this telemedical learning 
- Its been 2 months into these telemedical learning . 
- we are exposed to many different kinds of patients and their problems. 
- It is helping us in developing our technical skills also. 
- By making e-logs and by reading e-logs we are learning many new things. 
- We are using internet and online articles for better understanding and treatment also. 
- Tele medicine is a boon in this pandemic because we can talk to patients over phones also and we can assure them something. 
- Tele medicine helps us to connect to vast people , many people from different medical colleges and universities can be connected through blogs. 
- Finally tele medical learning is good in these circumstances. But we are eagerly waiting for our physical presence there in the wards. 

I want to thank Dr. Rakesh biswas sir and all pgs, interns of general medicine department for helping and guiding us.
