Greetings,
I am Manasvi Peddineni, a medical student from India. In this blog, I invite you to join me in exploring a fascinating compilation of medical cases that have captured my interest. Guided by the wisdom and expertise of my seniors and mentors, I have diligently examined these cases to deepen my understanding of patient care during the early stages of my medical journey.
Here, I shall unravel the mysteries of clinical medicine, delve into the treatment approaches employed, and discover valuable lessons along the way. This is the key to some of my clinical experiences and learnings till date. Here's presenting some of my most memorable cases, learnings and experiences so far in one place as a medical student.
Welcome aboard, and immerse yourself in these intriguing narratives.
Warm regards,

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE E LOGBOOK TO DISCUSS OUR PATIENT'S DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH DATA SHARED AFTER TAKING HIS/HER GUARDIAN'S SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT. HERE WE DISCUSS OUR INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S PROBLEMS THROUGH A SERIES OF INPUTS FROM THE AVAILABLE GLOBAL ONLINE COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS INTENDING TO SOLVE THOSE CLINICAL PROBLEMS WITH COLLECTIVE CURRENT BEST EVIDENCE-BASED INPUT.
My first ever encounter with a patient in the hospital as a medical professional happened on the first day of my General Medicine posting. It was a 25 year old gentleman who had come to the OPD with painful lesions all over his fingertips and his soles. Here is the link to the blog post for further details:
Another interesting case is that of a 61 year old man who had the chief complaints of seizures and altered sensorium. The patient was in the intensive care unit (ICU) and was very weak and frail. This was my first time seeing a human being in such a debilitated state, and so this left a lasting impression on me. I had to take his history from his attender. Further details can be found in this blog post:
One of the most memorable cases that I've come across was that of a 19 year old girl who had come to the hospital with complaints of fever and cough. She was also a known case of SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). This was an especially interesting case for me as we had just finished the SLE chapter in our pathology classes a couple of weeks back, so it was fascinating to see the information in our textbook in real life, and also gain a better understanding of the condition. This is the link to my blog post for further details:
Conclusion:
From these above experiences I can say that medical case reports provide an opportunity to learn from real-life situations and can increase awareness among healthcare providers concerning particular conditions. It also supplements the associate with scientific advancements by analysing the results of treatment and the effects of drugs on clinical cases.
Being able to help people and make a difference in their lives is what makes the medical profession so special. Nothing can bring more happiness than the knowledge that you have helped someone end their suffering.
Thank you for reading,
