Apart from that, I feel everything was well and good . Nice part in his reviews is that he has suggested advices that patient might has taken in the course of his / her treatment and management of disease in order to avoid complications and re-occurance.

QUESTION 05:Testing scholarship competency in logging reflective observations

Firstly, it was fortune to have a look on various case scenarios on same disease (kidney failure) 
So that we'll get wide  perspective on treating and managing the disease.  I learnt a lot from this e-log and has put my effort to strengthen my assignment by gaining knowledge from our seniours and my peer group.This type of clinical exposure has made possible only because of our HOD sir, from GM department, who has assigned to do this. 

Even though Telemedicine has improved our clinical skills but meeting the patient in person is very helpful in improving our knowledge on clinicals. We were excited to learn from clinical postings once we back to college. 

Thank you for interns, to the GM department who has helped.
