  Hello everyone! I’m Rohini , an intern posted in General medicine department.  This is an online E log book 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 series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs.  This E log book also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio. Here is a case i have seen: A 60 yr old women presented to causality with Complaints of Bilateral knee pain(aggravated) since                            5days                                   Bilateral pedal edema since 5 days  She worked as a farmer for 35 years but from past 10 years she stopped going to work due to pain in both knee joints. Patient was apparently alright 10 years back then she had h/o fever which lasted for about 3 to 4 day
