Offline discussion session video: yet to be uploaded. Please get in touch with the  intern Dr Kumar. 

A few common questions for the 8th semester students

1) Where are the different anatomical locations for the cause of the edema for each of the three patients and weakness for the fourth Patient?

2) What is the most likely pathology and etiology in that anatomical location?

3) What are the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such situations and what is the efficacy of each option/intervention?

4) Please share questions that come to your mind upon going through each of the cases.

Each 8th semester student will share their answers in their own E logs. Thanks to all the 8th semester students for previously sharing all their 200 web based logs that will remain as their 'online learning portfolios,' and will be very useful toward their formative assessment in the coming months and years.

Once the 8th semesters join hospital duties they will be expected to evaluate their own patients in the wards and learn data capturing to create their own patient online records for analysis.
