Is the summary intended for a journal, a presentation in your own department or a legal document?

I personally like the following main sections in (any case report)
1. clinical scenario
2. data from investigations (lab, x-ray etc) during intensive care
3. data from postmortem investigation
4. discussion, what's known from the literature
4. summary of your case and take-home-message (what have we learned)

Thanks Dr.Stefan for your help.

actually this summary was for a presentation at our department as part of the weekly mortality meeting,each resident present one of the cases and it's used in his evaluation ,so i needed to do it in a good way or in a different way than my colleagues "medical competitive behavior syndrome:D".

can i post it here so get your evaluation also?

and if it was for a journal how it gonna be like?
