This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking her guardian's signed informed consent.
Name: N.Manohar
Roll no. - 14
Here we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs.This E-log also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable inputs in the comment box are welcome.
I've been given this case to solve in an attempt 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 a diagnosis and treatment plan.
