Hi, this is Shreshta Reddy Adla, a medical student currently studying in KIMS Narketpally. This page is a compilation of cases taken up during my medical school years, with an intent to correlate theoretical concepts of medicine to practical aspects of it. These E-logs have been created after taking consent from the patient and the patient's advocate. So welcome, and I encourage you to immerse yourselves into these interesting cases.
