Abstract
There are some inevitable risk factors of patient exposure to problems arising from human errors, including missed subtle radiological findings, early identification of which may alter the patient outcomes. Here we are discussing a patient who presented with a prior diagnosis of seasonal allergic rhinitis with symptoms assumed to be bronchial asthma. A second review of chest radiograph after discussion over an online platform (Tabula Rasa group on Facebook) revealed some subtle findings which we missed initially. Further workup of the case revealed some astonishing findings. This case illustrates the importance of discussing unsolved cases on online platforms with peers and also to proceed for higher imaging to detect what has been missed on plain radiography.
期刊介绍：
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
