Why u ppl paste such a tough question? I suggest u to follow any text book n then make a question by urself...this is my personal request. If others wanna solve such tough questions then i don have to say anytjing..but no one is answering ur questions  |
HERO, you are right Clinical MCQs is mean to have the discussion, I am trying my best to present the case scenario which I frequently encounter in the hospital. And try to co-relate the clinical presentaion with the basic science.
Even you make mistake in MCQs that doesn't mean that you don't know anything, instead you learn a lot and won't commit the same mistake again and again for e.g. I just missed one diagnosis (bharat's MCQ), I overlooked age and sex I went according to the prevelance of the disease and that should have been B Cell Lymphoma, I didn't co-relate age and sex.
If I wouldn't have blindly gone through its prevanlance I would have picked the correct answer which is T Cell Lymphoma which is common in relatively young adult male. Whereas B Cell Lymphoma is common in Female with median age 30 yrs. My point of going for B Cell Lymphoma was: its very common 90% and its also present with mediastinum involvement. So, I will be careful in the future, not to commit the same mistake.
Thats how we have to develop the habbit of co-ralating clinical findings, and don't ever feel shy even if you commit mistake in the discussion because you wouldn't commit it when you check the patient.
My bottom line is: You are liable to commit mistake infact I urge you to pick anyone of the listed option evenif you are not sure. Check back when the MCQ is answered and look for the explanation. That way you will learn a lot.
Don't feel shy when you can't answer correctly give dammmm care to those who think you don't know anything when you pick the wrong answer they don't know how much your gaining by commiting mistake in the discussion.
Ok, lets discuss the more common case we encounter in the daily life now onwards.
