Comments

  1. [5/14, 1:21 PM] Divya Mahapatra 2015 Kims: So sir as I went through the case there were certain things that I didn't understand why they were mentioned...like the importance of her waking up in the middle of the surgery...her grandmother also had same history...was it to point out some hereditary relation

    [5/14, 1:22 PM] Divya Mahapatra 2015 Kims: Are we supposed to pile up questions like these in our blogs..

    [5/14, 1:28 PM] Rakesh Biswas: Yes please pile these questions. We shall share it with the student who wrote the logbook as well as the patient.

    And to explain it myself I would take it this way. When we collect a patient's life events we suspend our judgement about the significance of those events. Who knows some things that currently appear irrelevant may become relevant if when we see the bigger picture?
