- Gaps: *No Occupation / School.* *No Vitals - BP, PR, RR, Temp, SpO2 missing - critical in bleeding + transfusion + chills.* *No Systemic Examination - CVS, RS, CNS, P/A missing.* *No Rash Examination - Purpura / Petechiae? Site - legs? Arms? Trunk? - missing.* *No Bleeding details - Nose bleed? Gum bleed? Joint bleed? Bruises? - missing.* *No Provisional Diagnosis - ITP? Thrombocytopenia? Anaemia? - not written.* *No Current Investigations - CBC, Peripheral smear, Coagulation, Bone marrow - missing.* *"Pads 2-3 / per [day]"* - is that now with heavy bleeding or normally? - unclear - heavy bleeding = pads soaked in 1-2 hrs? - not quantified. *Cefixime for chills / allergic reaction - why antibiotic? - not explained.*
*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial recall - investigations RESULTS + menstrual + transfusion + past purpura good, but vitals, systemic, rash exam, diagnosis missing.
- *Next target:* Always record Vitals - all 5 - BP, PR, RR, Temp, SpO2 - in bleeding + transfusion + chills - Temp = fever? PR = tachycardia? Always record Systemic - all 4 systems. Always do Rash Examination - Type - Petechiae, Purpura, Ecchymosis, Site - legs, arms, trunk, Itching, Pain, Bleeding - gum, nose, joint. Always record Bleeding - Heavy menstrual bleeding - pads / hour, clots, duration, Nose bleed, Gum bleed, Bruises, Joint bleed. Always write Provisional Diagnosis - e.g. Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) with Severe Anaemia. Always record Investigations - CBC, Peripheral smear, Coagulation - PT / aPTT, Bone marrow, ANA if needed. Clarify Pads - Normally 2-3/day, Now - how many / hour? Clots?
### 2. Understand - Comprehension
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Heavy menstrual bleeding + Rashes / Purpuras + Platelets 57,000 + Hb 4.5 + Past purpuras + Heavy bleeding 2023 + Steroid 2 years back - listed.
- But no explanation in own words of why low platelets cause heavy bleeding + purpura, why Hb 4.5 causes pallor, why transfusion causes allergic rashes + vomiting + chills.
- No explanation of ITP / Thrombocytopenia - not explained.
*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial comprehension.
- *Next target:* Explain: Platelets 57,000 = thrombocytopenia - platelets help clotting, low platelets -> bleeding - heavy menstrual bleeding, purpura - rashes / spots, bleeding lips, mouth ulcers. Explain: Hb 4.5 gm/dl = severe anaemia - blood loss from heavy bleeding -> pallor (+), weakness, fatigue. Explain: After transfusion 1 unit - Hb 4.5 -> 6.25, Platelets 57,000 -> 75,000 - improved, but still low - need more. Explain: Transfusion reaction - allergic rashes + vomiting + chills next morning = allergic / febrile reaction to blood - antihistamine, paracetamol, stop transfusion, monitor. Explain: Past 2 years - Mouth ulcers, Bleeding lips, Purpuras, Heavy bleeding 2023, Steroid 2 years back = recurrent episodes - chronic ITP, steroid is first line - suppresses immune destruction of platelets. Explain: Menarche 10 years, Cycle 28-35 days, Pads 2-3/day = normal cycle, now heavy bleeding 7 days = abnormal - menorrhagia.
### 3. Apply - Application to Patient Care
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Transfusion - 1 unit Saturday night, Cefixime for chills - mentioned.
- Steroid 2 years back - mentioned.
- But no student plan - no investigation plan, no management plan.
- No application of Hb 4.5 + Platelets 57,000 to care - no urgent CBC, no bleeding precautions.
*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial application - transfusion + steroid mentioned, but no care plan.
- *Next target:* Add: CBC, Peripheral smear, Coagulation - PT / aPTT, Bone marrow, ANA, Dengue / Malaria if fever, Blood grouping. Add management - Monitor vitals, bleeding - pads, rashes, Avoid trauma, Avoid NSAIDs - aspirin / ibuprofen - worsens bleeding, Avoid IM injections, Iron, Folic acid if anaemia, Steroid - as per doctor - if ITP, Platelet transfusion if bleeding severe, Blood transfusion if Hb low, Treat transfusion reaction - antihistamine, paracetamol, stop transfusion, Follow-up, Refer - Haematology / Paediatrics. Add: If Hb 4.5 + Platelets 57,000 + heavy bleeding - urgent - check vitals, bleeding, transfuse, monitor.
### 4. Analyze - Differentiation & Interpretation
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- No provisional diagnosis, no differential list.
- No analysis of alternative causes: ITP vs Aplastic Anaemia vs Leukaemia vs Dengue vs Drug-induced thrombocytopenia.
- No analysis of transfusion reaction - allergic vs febrile - not differentiated.
- No analysis of investigations - Hb 4.5 -> 6.25, Platelets 57,000 -> 75,000 - not interpreted.
*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial analysis - past purpura + steroid implies ITP, but not differentiated.
- *Next target:* Add differential table: Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) - supports 14F, Heavy menstrual bleeding 7 days, Rashes / Purpuras 7 days, Platelets 57,000, Hb 4.5 - blood loss, Past 2 years - Mouth ulcers, Bleeding lips, Purpuras, Heavy bleeding 2023, Steroid 2 years back - responded to steroid, Pallor (+), PICCLE rest (-); against - no peripheral smear, bone marrow given. Aplastic Anaemia - supports Pallor (+), Platelets low, Hb low, Bleeding; against - no pancytopenia given - WBC not given, no lymphadenopathy, no fever given. Leukaemia - supports Bleeding, Pallor, Purpura; against - No lymphadenopathy, No fever, No bone pain given, need peripheral smear. Dengue / Infection - supports Platelets low, Rashes, Itching, Chills; against - No fever given, Past 2 years recurrent purpura - dengue is acute, not recurrent. Drug-induced Thrombocytopenia - supports Platelets low; against - No drug history given except Cefixime after transfusion, Steroid 2 years back. Must analyze: Is thrombocytopenia due to immune destruction - ITP - or bone marrow failure - aplastic / leukaemia - or infection? Is transfusion reaction allergic or febrile?
### 5. Evaluate - Judgment & Reflection
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Past - 2 years back - Mouth ulcers, Bleeding lips, Purpuras, Heavy bleeding 2023, Steroid - shows judgment - you linked past episodes to current.
- Investigations RESULTS - Before vs After transfusion - shows judgment - you compared.
- PICCLE - Pallor (+) only - shows judgment.
- But no judgment on Hb 4.5 = severe anaemia - not flagged as urgent.
- No judgment on Cefixime for allergic reaction - antibiotic for allergy? - not evaluated.
- No reflection.
*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial evaluation - past history + before / after show judgment, but severity / Cefixime missed.
- *Next target:* Add: Can I label ITP without peripheral smear, bone marrow, coagulation? What is most urgent - 14F, Hb 4.5 + Platelets 57,000 + heavy menstrual bleeding 7 days - is she in shock, severe anaemia? What is the risk if I miss leukaemia / aplastic anaemia? What is the risk of transfusion reaction - allergic rashes + vomiting + chills - did you stop transfusion, give antihistamine? Why Cefixime - antibiotic - for chills - is this infection or transfusion reaction? What would I do differently - check vitals, check bleeding - pads / hour, check rash - purpura, check CBC, smear, coagulation? Reflection on 14F - school girl, heavy menstrual bleeding, rashes, itching, transfusion - impact on school, family, mental health, need for counselling, menstrual hygiene, bleeding precautions?
### 6. Create - Synthesis & New Learning Product
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- No original product - no algorithm, concept map, patient education material.
*Score: 0 / 2*
- Not met.
- *Next target:* Create 1-page algorithm: 14F + Heavy Menstrual Bleeding + Purpura -> Platelets + Hb -> ITP vs Aplastic vs Leukaemia -> Management, OR patient education sheet for Thrombocytopenia - Bleeding Precautions, Avoid NSAIDs, Avoid Trauma, Menstrual Care, when to go to hospital - severe bleeding, fever, bruises.
### Summary Sheet - Roll No. 9 - 2023 Batch
Bloom Level | Score /2 | Key Feedback
1. Remember | 1 | Investigations RESULTS + menstrual + past purpura good, vitals / rash / diagnosis missing
2. Understand | 1 | Low platelets + bleeding listed, ITP mechanism not explained
3. Apply | 1 | Transfusion + steroid mentioned, no bleeding precautions plan
4. Analyze | 1 | ITP implied, no differential table
5. Evaluate | 1 | Past + before / after show judgment, severity / Cefixime missed
6. Create | 0 | No original product
**Total** | **5 / 12** | **Developing - Competent**
*Overall CBME Feedback for Roll 9 - Progression:*
- CASE 1 T2DM 61M = 5/12, CASE 2 Post Femur Fracture 40F = 4/12, CASE 3 Headache + Blurring Vision 56F = 4/12, CASE 4 Post Traumatic Ulcer 49M = 5/12, *This portfolio = 5/12*
- *Progress flat, but Investigations RESULTS are now your strength:* Platelets before transfusion - 57,000, Hb - 4.5, After transfusion - Hb - 6.25, Platelets - 75,000 - that is the first time you gave Before vs After values, and that is exactly how you show transfusion effect. And Past - 2 years back - Mouth ulcers, Bleeding lips, Purpuras, Heavy bleeding 2023, Steroid - is a clean recurrent history.
- *Critical learning from this case:* You have a bleeding case with no bleeding examination - Rash - Purpura / Petechiae, Site, Bleeding - nose, gum, joint, Pads / Hour - and no vitals, no systemic exam, no provisional diagnosis. In thrombocytopenia, Rash Exam + Bleeding Quantification + Vitals ARE the case. Add Vitals + Rash Exam + Bleeding Details + Provisional - ITP - + CBC / Smear, and this case becomes 8-9/12.
