   This online E-log Entry Blog is an objectively structured clinical examination method to assess the clinical competence during the course of my General Medicine Internship rotation (october'2023-november'2023) by reviewing the case reports shared below and to discuss, understand and review the clinical scenarios and data analysis of patients so as to develop my clinical competency in comprehending clinical cases, and providing evidence-based inputs for questions surrounding the clinical vignettes borrowed from the E Log Book. Note: The cases have been shared after taking consent from the patient/guardian. All names and other identifiers have been removed to secure and respect the privacy of the patient and the family This is a case where I presented in the CME meet : A 47 year old male patient came to casualty with chief complaint of spasms of both upper and lower limbs since one day HOPI: Patient was apparently asymptomatic one day back then he developed spasms in his both

MY EXPERIENCES WITH GENERAL CELLULAR AND NEURAL CELLULAR PATHOLOGY IN A CASE BASED BLENDED LEARNING ECOSYSTEM'S CBBLE The journey of becoming a medical professional begins with a unique experience—the first interaction between a medical student and patient .This initial encounter holds immense significance as it sets the foundation for our understanding of patient care, empathy, and the ethical responsibilities associated with the medical profession. My first patient interaction was in 3rd semester.it was first day of my general medicine postings..I was posted in OP ,a patient of28 years old    female came with complaints of fever associated with chills and rigors, my PG asked me to check BP , that was my first time checking BP to a patient. I felt surreal that I started interacting with patients.I was there taking her history completely and our PG asked about differential diagnosis. I checked her temperature.we thought it may be dengue so we sent for    investigations.I was with m
