Grand Rounds 4.49 is now up and running over at Rural Doctoring. (If you haven't already, catch RD's appearance on Doctor Anonymous Show 42). She has a Shakespearean Grand Rounds this week. And, if you can believe it, I actually wrote something for GR this week and it was actually accepted. Thanks for including my post this week!Even if the body is beginning to feel the wear and tear of the fifth
Check out this week's edition of Grand Rounds, hosted by Daniel Goldberg at his very sharp looking Medical Humanities Blog, hitting all the high points of this week's offerings in the medblogosphere, from Oprah to the Olympics. -- David Harlow
The 200th edition of Grand Rounds (the first and most famous medical blog carnival on the Internet) is now up for your reading pleasure at the popular medical blog, Grunt Doc.For those of you not yet acquainted with blog carnivals, they are like online magazines usually devoted to a particular subject, featuring links to posts by multiple bloggers, and usually "hosted" by a different blogger eve
EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT! That’s right folks, this week I shall be dishing as much dirt on the latest rumours, gossip and scandal that the blogosphere can handle, and all from a rather slanderous angle!DEATH ON DIALYSIS: IT TAKES THE PISS – ABOUTANURSE grapples with the concept of self-doubt surrounding sudden and unexpected death on the wards, in this touching, heartfelt recollection.T
Grand Rounds 4.37 is now up and running over at The Happy Hospitalist. (The picture above is actually from an earlier post this week - not from the GR post. I know, not fair. But, admit it, it caught your attention, didn't it?).I admit (again) that I've been a bad medblogger in that I haven't been that consistent in contributing posts to GR. Of course, that would mean that I would have to write me
#1 Dinosaur* hosts a Genesis**-themed Grand Rounds at his Musings of a Dinosaur. The HealthBlawger (highly-evolved specimen that I am) shows up sometime during the sixth day. Hmm. If a dinosaur can embrace creationism, maybe the world really is coming...

Grand Rounds 4.33 is now up and running over at Suture For A Living. (apologies for the late posting of this today). There is no theme this week. But in addition to the great posts, there are some great pics! Thanks to Dr. Ramona for including my post this week:Dr Anonymous asks a simple, yet, controversial question: If someone has used marijuana - even if used for medical reasons - should this prohibit him or her from being considered to be on a transplant list? Hospitals throughout this great nation struggle with this question every day.If you don't know what Grand Rounds is, it is a weekly compilation of the best posts from the medical blogosphere that moves to different sites each week. And, who doesn't like reading about medicine and science? Next week, Grand Rounds moves to the site
Grand Rounds 4.31 is now up and running over at Dr. Val and the Voice of Reason. She has grouped the post by feeling, which I don't think has ever been done before. And, she added a little cute tagging system to point out the especially good posts of the week.I admit that I have been a slug and not writing as much and contributing to Grand Rounds. I feel badly about that. But, I'm feeling a little resurgence, so maybe the posts will start flying again. Thanks to Dr. Val for including my post this week:Dr. A from Doctor Anonymous wonders if peace and contentment come from accepting one's lot in life. His post is called, "With Age Comes Happiness?"If you don't know what Grand Rounds is, it is a weekly compilation of the best posts from the medical blogosphere that moves to different sites ea
Welcome to Grand Rounds - sort of. For those of you who do not know, the real host this week is the one and only Grunt Doc. But, if didn't know already, he could not handle the entire GR himself. It's hard to explain. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then start with the Grunt Doc blog this week and you'll eventually end up here.
For those of you who are up to speed and are bounced here from the Medgadget blog, I encourage you to watch my video post above. Here is a presentation of a few links that I have been allowed to present:

Grand Rounds 4.21 is now up and running over at HealthBlawg: David Harlow's Health Care Law Blog. If you can believe it, this is a health care lawyer and consultant handling GR this week. But, not to worry, this Valentine's Day edition is well done.In fact, it is so well done, that I have a post in this week's Grand Rounds, and I didn't even know it. On Sunday afternoon, I wrote the post called "Love Hormone," and I thought that it would be a great edition to GR. But, when I looked at the deadline, I read that I missed it. So, being a past GR host, I remember how annoyed I was when people tried to e-mail me something past the deadline.But, this morning, I was checking my stats and found that I was getting referrals from this week's GR site. When I clicked over there, I was pleasantly surpr

Highlight Health: The best way to stay healthy and avoid getting sick.
“This is one of my earlier articles (I’ve been writing Highlight HEALTH since late December 2006). I was just starting to get in my “groove” writing the types of articles I wanted to publish (i.e. informative, heavily referenced). This was one of those articles that just took on a life of its own and blossomed into quite an interesting post. Handwashing … so simple, yet so important for good health.”

Article of the week
David at Health Business Blog offers some tips on how patients in the “evolving pharma landscape” can make better use of both doctors and pharmacists and how to save some money.

Grand Rounds 3.19 is now up and running at the blog called Envisioning 2.0. The theme is consumer driven health care. Because I was so busy last week, I didn't have an opportunity to submit anything.

Grand Rounds 3.18 is now up and running at Signout. Dr. Signout is a first-year resident (ie - intern) in an internal medicine residency in the US. She moved her blog recently to the scienceblogs family. Thanks to Dr. Signout for including my submission this week...
For Dr. Anonymous, uterus transplants provoke many questions, but few answers.If you don't know what Grand Rounds is, it is a weekly compilation of the best posts from the medical blogosphere that moves to different sites each week. And, who doesn't like reading about medicine and science?
I have no idea how Dr. Signout managed to put together GR and be an intern. I know it was crazy for me when I hosted. Nonethless, great job! Next week, Grand Rounds moves to Envisioning 2.0.
Addendum: Hmmmmm... I tried to leave a comment of congrats over there and it told me I was "forbidden" to leave a comment. That's interesting. Maybe someone over there at scienceblogs just doesn't like me. Anyway, congrats on GR, Dr. Signout.
Grand Rounds 3.17 is up and running at Kerri's site called Six Until Me. She has a theme this week and it's called "Emotions in Healthcare." And, she has put together in a very creative poem encompassing her theme. Thanks to Kerri for including my submission.

I'm going to be working a lot this week. So, I want to apologize up front if I have a sparsity of posts over the next few days. The docs in our group take turns working the holidays throughout the year, and this is my year for the Xmas/New Year's stretch.
Also, I've gotten lots of spam comments the last few days. So, I'll be moderating comments until I think the spam has slowed down. Sorry. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Grand Rounds 3.12 is now up and running over at Anxiety, Addiction and Depression Treatments. GR is up early this week. Thanks to the bloggers over there for including my submission this week. I really appreciate it.
A recent AAP report on advertising and children drew our ire. It also drew the ire of Doctor Anonymous, and he discussed his reactions in a great post that led to some healthy comment discussion.On a quick glance, I counted 36 links (unless you count My Three Shrinks as three separate posts instead of one). Well done. However, I couldn't leave a kudos comment over there because the verification characters wouldn't come up on my firefox. Oh well, Kudos to AAaDT for their work this week.
Look out! Next week, GR journeys to Nurse Ratched's Place. But meanwhile, enjoy the best the medical blogosphere has to offer - It's Grand Rounds!

Ectopia cordis---a rare developmental anomaly in which the heart is situated outside the chest. Dr. Anonymous writes about a recent case.For those of you sitemeter watchers out there (I am definitely one of them), it'll be interesting to check out the Dr. RW sitemeter as it goes through the day today.Next week, Grand Rounds moves to The Antidote: Counterspin for Health Care and Health News. That's funny. Does that mean that Grand Rounds is a poison? Tune in next week to find out. Enjoy Grand Rounds!

Grand Rounds is a tradition in many hospitals around the country. Here is an on-line version. A touching story from hospital impact. This is one weeks post from Grand Rounds 2.05, a rotating column of medical professionals.
I once spoke with one of the most famous hospital CEOs in America. Out of all the things he could have shared with me that day, he talked to me about a cleaning lady in his hospital. This is the story he told...
A patient was in a coma and her grieving family sat around her. The patient had been completely unresponsive for weeks. Then, a particular cleaning lady unknowingly and deeply moved this family - simply by doing her job with a smile and by singing/humming a sweet tune under her breathe. The family noticed that the patient actually responded to this far-off cleaning lady's humming ever so slightly - a twitch of the eye, a tear. The family asked the cleaning lady to come in and sing to their loved one in the coma. Without hesitating, the cleaning lady put
