27 year old female with complaints of pain abdomen

A Case of 27 year old female patient came to casualty with complaints of pain in epigastric region.

This is an online Elog book to discuss our patient deidentified health data shared after taking his/ her guardians signed informed consent.

Here we discuss our individual patient problems through series of inputs from available Global online community of experts with an aim to solve the patients  clinical problem with current best evidence based input.

This Elog also reflects my patient centered online learning portfolio.
I have been given this case to solve in an attempt to understand the topic of “patient clinical data analysis” to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations, and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan.
