This is not the GR theme today, but I did want to mention that it’s Doctor’s Day tomorrow in the United States. Doctor’s Day was first observed on March 30, 1933. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles Almond, decided to set aside a day to honor physicians. The red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for National Doctors Day. In 1990, law was passed designating March 30 as “National Doctors Day.” Big shout out to all my physician colleagues out there! via Family Medicine Rocks – Family Medicine Rocks Blog – Mike Sevilla, MD – Grand Rounds Volume 7 Number 27.

Each week a different medblogger reads through peer submissions and summarizes/organizes them all into one blog post (using their own unique structure or theme). Instructions for participation (and hosting) are here. When I host Grand Rounds I like to organize the posts into emotion categories – kind of the way that movies are categorized into “drama, action, comedy, etc.” This achieves two goals: first, readers have the option of starting with their favorite emotion – maybe you need a “pick me up” or maybe you’re looking for something to get your blood pumping? Second, I get a general feeling for how my fellow bloggers are feeling these days. Judging from the volume of posts in ...

This is my 7th time to Host (first Seven Timer), and it’s always an honor. I asked everyone who submitted to send the date of their first blog post.

These were events where a medical luminary would fly in to give a medical audience a state-of-the-art presentation on a medical subject. Ideally, the speaker was a thought leader and a researcher on the issue. These presentations were usually not a demonstration of the virtue of humility. We physicians, as a class, have generous egos. Academic physicians occupy a higher rung on the ego ladder. Medical Grand Rounders (MGRs), who are on the GR speaking circuit, often must bring their own ladders to assure they will be able to reach their desired atmospheric height. via MD Whistleblower: Whistleblower Grand Rounds Vol. 6 No. 22: It’s ‘Alimentary’, Doctors!.

These legends state that Achilles was killed in battle by an arrow to the heel, and so an "Achilles' heel" or Achilles' tendon has come to mean a person's principal weakness.Axial and saggital MRI of the ankle show an abnormal contour and altered signal intensity involving the tendoachilles, On the T2 and fat suppressed ...

These three locations account for 95% of all ruptured aneurysms. The basilar artery accounts for only 2.8% and posterior fossa aneurysms are even less common.

Emergency Department For this weeks Grand Rounds I threw down a challenge for writers to submit a post that they were particularly proud of. As you will soon see, there are some truly gifted writers amongst us; recording the narrative of their experiences as they bump up against the medical humanity. Each link is followed by a brief preface by its author. ( And in Grunt Docs case, I’m talking brevity approaching singularity!) Do not rush these readings. They are in no particular order. But it is my careful consideration that each and every one has its own particular elegance well worthy of your time. Enjoy. Hmm, had I known, I’d have been more verbose if not more eloquent.

This is a Mayan calendar. The last year has been…special. A year ago, I was mired in a bad mood which turned into eight bilateral frontal lobe CVAs a week or so later. Thus, the first FDGR was devoid of the witty brilliance I had planned when taking on the task. I see now that I even screwed up the date on that post. Ha! Since then, I’ve enjoyed the straightforward approach to GR, so I will stick to the basics. We had 39 submissions this time, many of them before the posted deadline! I always was picked last for kickball when in third grade (and years of therapy didn’t take away the pain), so I’m including all of them. Another beaut. (Source: G...

Time does indeed fly when you are blogging away. I thought of many different ways to “spice up” Grand Rounds. After much deliberation, I finally decided to” stick to the basics” and just present “the facts”, as I did many times before as a resident during our weekly nerve-wracking, anxiety-inducing Urology Grand Rounds. Very nice, and a Lot of posts.

As an afficionado of medical history, it is remarkable to see this latest incarnation of process that has “evolved from centuries-old practices that trained physicians by means of apprenticeships.” (Mueller et al., Mayo Clin Proc 2003 ). Medical grand rounds have morphed from ward-based teaching or using an illustrative case presented in an auditorium (as illustrated above) to a lecture format. Elegantly done.

He writes a nice monograph with a Q&A with that weeks’ Grand Rounds host. It’s called ‘Prerounds’, and it used to come out prior to Grand Rounds, but now it comes out afterward. Here’s mine: GruntDoc Returns for Another Tour of Duty I think the reason it’s not ‘pre’ anymore was difficulties with the Grand Rounds link. They want one prior to publishing their prerounds, and people (like me) have screwed that up in the past, so maybe that’s why. Anyway, now I need to send Nick another buck. Dang, this is getting expensive.

The biggest change is the number of blogs, hence submissions, and the quality of the submissions has increased every time.  Also, GR is no longer dominated by a few 'bigger bloggers' but is now quite wide-open, hence the increasing quality and scope of the posts submitted.  By the way, I didn't have 200 posts when I made the announcement, I had 5 (the +/- 195 was meant to be a joke), but I did wind up with 60 submissions. Oh, and no theme.   Editor's Choice: M.D.O.D. and the Unintended Consequences of EMTALA.  In case you weren't aware there is a problem with US healthcare in general, ...

The more they change the more they may stay the same, but they still change. So welcome to Grand Rounds, the weekly round-up of the best of the medical blogosphere, where we’ll expore what’s old, what’s new, what’s changed, what hasn’t, and whatever else happens to strike our fancy.

The best "x" number of articles will be featured, subject to adulation, and the authors will be suitably proud yet humble. Those not judged 'the best' will still be included, in whatever manner I see fit. So, this isn't going to be an exclusionary Grand Rounds.

Those who enter the world of medicine as patients soon find it difficult to identify themselves beyond the confines of their label— at least within the walls of the hospital. Those who enter into it as a career soon discover just how far-reaching a life in medicine is. Interests and relationships that once defined us as people too often take a backseat to the demands of medicine. Too easily we find that we lose sight of ourselves. We advise patients to rest, exercise, eat right, deal with stress, develop good coping mechanisms… and then we go home, order out, catch up on paperwork and try to fit ...

Many Americans are not aware of healthcare consumerism and need to learn more about it. This was one reason why I decided to make this topic the theme of this week’s Grand Rounds. Given that some regular contributors have said they do not like themes, I was worried that my request would result in a very bare bones edition of this well-respected blog carnival. I needn’t have worried. I received more than 35 submissions for this edition and the vast majority dealt with healthcare consumerism. Following are the 25 posts I selected. Happy reading!
