Question 5: Testing scholarship competency in  
logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month : (10 marks) 
Reflective logging  of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research. 
Please reflect on and share  your telemedical learning experiences from the  hospital as well as community  patients over the last month particularly while you were E logging their case report while even in the hospital or perhaps when locked down at home.
Myself Koushiki Mekala 3rd sem 
Making an elog  is a completely  different form of learning and experiencing the  medical education compared to that of  attending hospital and seeing patients .   This elog writing is keeping clinical based competencies alive 
We are in a situation where  we cannot blame anyone of being unable to attend the college and hospital. 
Last month  I have made an elog of a patient suffering from  DECOMPENSATED LIVER DISEASE (CIRRHOSIS) with 
SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS
with HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY grade I  with radial styloid fracture with k/c/o DM TYPE II .
Firstly when i got chance to make an elog  Dr Sai Vittal sir provided me  case details  then I (tele)communicated with the patient's son asked for the history of presenting illness past history  treatment history  asked for the reason his  consumption of alcohol besides his  serious condition of health  and all . By investigations we came to final diagnosis.
Im unable to understand why people go back of alcohol,  most of the cases that  i have  seen through e logs of  my classmates  and seniors from last 2 months in general medicine department   people consuming alcohol regularly and end up in being  a critical condition of health.
  There should be alot of awareness  which is lacking among the people consuming alcohol tobacco chewing smoking etc  ( excess/regularly chronic - consumption/intake/inhale  )  it just detoriates individual's health and make sick .
I thank Dr Sai Vittal sir (intern)and Dr. Rakesh Biswas sir (HOD)who is behind  us  in building scholarship competency based learning . 
This is the first time ever talking to a patient on call ( Telemedical learning experiences) .
But  we expect us to be present in college and attend clinical postings in hospital as soon as possible . 
THANK YOU SIR
