Hello, my name is Dr. Salim. Thank you for asking this question. So, actually, I always and always guide my junior regarding any bedside procedure and evaluation of the patient, examination of the patient, and very importantly, the further future career growth. So, from my motivation, I am thankful to God that many of my juniors have appeared in MRCP1, MRCP2. I told them that these exams will build up your knowledge, your skills. Furthermore, I mean, during the round, or even after the round, I usually guide my juniors how to do the examination, how to approach to the patient, and multi-approach. So, guiding the junior will also polish your knowledge too. It is true, and it will give a constant relationship between you and your junior. So, it is my belief that if you guide others and help others, especially your junior staff, in your healthcare system, then it will build a comprehensive health approach for your patient, and it will obviously help you, your staff, and your patient.

Hi, hello. I'm Dr. Salim. So regarding this first question, can you provide a specific example of a time when you developed a treatment plan that significantly improved the patient outcome? Yeah, actually I have observed many times this one, even in the OPDs and also in the ward and in emergency department during my training there in Pakistan and currently here in Singapore as a clinical associate. So like the example which can I give, the most specific one, we can start from the Pakistan first. So in there actually in the OPD, the patient come to me with some signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis for which I did the investigation and patient was started on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with weekly methotrexate, folic acid as per protocol and then patient was followed up later on in the OPD and the symptoms were improving. Another one like I saw cases of diabetic ketoacidosis and also some cases in the ED. One very important thing which I encountered in the ED, the patient was referred to outer care hospital from periphery. They did the MRI. Patient was having a bilateral lower limb weakness. He was very, he was unable to walk. And then in the ED during my training, I did the electrolytes for him, some basic investigation. He was hypokalemic.
