GENERAL MEDICINE INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT

  GENERAL MEDICINE INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT   Duration of posting - 5/5/23 - 3/7/23 I was posted in General medicine department for 2 months which included 2 weeks of Psychiatry posting. My first two weeks were in the Department of Psychiatry and I must say the cases are quite intriguing. I learnt the importance of taking a proper case history and how their daily routine impacts their condition. I also came across a fascinating case of a school boy who was reluctant to go to school and came to the OPD stating he was advised by his grandfather not to attend school. He was counselled properly by our PG and that made me realise how essential it is to evaluate a patient thoroughly and counsel them. I got the opportunity to look at various cases- schizophrenia, alcohol abuse, depression.

I would also update the fever charts and investigations in the ca

INFECTIOUS DISEASE( COVID 19) MASTER CHART https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hS1DW0fw3DevK3ee42ViWCViDidip7n/view?usp=sharing FIRST CASE Question 1 Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic lung diseases that cause progressive scarring of the lung tissue, compromising respiratory function and blood oxygenation. The most common form is the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which in the vast majority of cases affects the older population, in a progressive fibrosing manner, resulting in severe respiratory failure and death within 3–5 years. In patients with preexisting ILD, COVID-19 infection has led to acute exacerbation of underlying ILD. The criteria for ILD exacerbation include subacute worsening of dyspnea and hypoxemia, new pulmonary infiltrates on imaging, and absence of pulmonary emboli, cardiac failure, and other non-pulmonary causes Question 2 Steroid therapy in covid affecting rheumatoid arthritis  There would be no worsening in RA
