MY EXPERIENCE WITH GENERAL CELLULAR AND NEURAL CELLULAR PATHOLOGY IN A CASE BASED BLENDED LEARNING ECOSYSYTEMS CBBLE

HELLO 

This is Kundana Kanumilli a final year medical student from India.

In the field of medical education ,integration of narrative and data plays a main role in shaping the learning experience of students . I would like to share few experience in my medicine postings.

we started to go to wards from our 2nd MBBS COURSE we used to talk to patients and take history , until we got into actual work covid wave started we were sent home ,even though the medicine department in our institute helped us to learn in a new way using technology , we took history from patient by phone calls  we were able to learn even in the pandemic .this all happened because of the medicine department in our institution.

I would like to share few of my experience in medicine department

     A Journey with Locked-In Syndrome

    In a world where communication is often taken for granted, imagine being trapped within a body that no longer responds. Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) is a condition that leaves patients with complete body paralysis, except for their eyes. This blog aims to shed light on the experiences, challenges, and resilience of individuals living with LIS and emphasizes the power of communication beyond spoken words.

    As a young student who will be wandering everywhere and talking to everyone and sharing our thoughts we might not able to understand the situation or feeling of a paralysed man who can not move his limbs nor can he express his feelings . He had a surgical scar of hernia . he cant even talk , he is just able to blink his eyes . After seeing this i decided to word hard as a medical student and learn all the possible ways to treat patients like him. 

     Living with Locked-In Syndrome is undoubtedly challenging, but it is important to recognize the strength, resilience, and inherent worth of individuals who navigate this condition. By embracing alternative forms of communication and extending empathy and support, we can help bridge the gap between the locked-in world and our own. Let us strive to create a society that values the voices, experiences, and contributions of all its members, regardless of physical limitations.

    In conclusion, the medical cases explored in this blog provide us with invaluable insights into intricacies of human body and the challenges that patients face. Through these stories  I  have witnessed the power of diagnosis , treatment , and the resilience of human spirit.
    These cases remind of complexity and diversity of illnesses exist .  They shed light on importance of early detection , timely intervention and treatment plans .
