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.
