QUESTION 5:-

In my opinion, seeing the healthcare situations and opportunities in the present time it is very right to say that "telemedicine is the need of today". With the help of telemedicine, a person having any health issue can get the most immediate and required medical advice/medication in the safety and comfort of their homes by making use of digital technologies. This elog plays a major role in this condition which gives the doctor idea about the patient's history of present illness, family history, and investigations for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. During the span of 2months, I have experienced and seen many cases which are really helpful in a clinical way. I have learned many things during the posting session. Even I have got a chance to log for a case the experience was quite helpful for me in understanding how the system works. The General medicine department has done quite a good work in making us understand the subject. For every clinical case, they have guided us on how to study and analyze the case. I have learned how to capture patient-centered data for diagnosing the disease. I have got a chance to see the many types of investigations done in order to diagnose a disease. Along with this, I also read through several medical blogs of various systemic disorders which helped me understand several pathological changes that occurred in contrast to the physiological mechanisms that I had learned last year. Something new that I learned with this was various investigations that are to be performed with specific signs and symptoms and differentials that can be drawn from them. I learned how to blog which is definitely a prized possession for me.
