I'm a final year medical undergraduate bearing the hall ticket number-1601006069. I've been allotted with this following de-identified case to present on the day of the final practical exam, so I've contacted the patient and took the verbal consent to take the history and to examine the patient.
This E log also reflects my patient center’s online learning portfolio and valuable inputs on the comment box are welcome.
