Today, Your Life on USA Today is guest-hosting Grand Rounds, the best of the medical blogosphere. We asked medical bloggers to send us the finest posts from the past few months, and were thrilled to receive more than 100 entries. I, Dr. Val Jones, have prepared a summary of my favorites.
They will publish the Grand Rounds in 4 posts – one at 10am, one at 1pm, one at 5pm and one at 8pm tomorrow. There are 4 sections (to be released throughout the day). Please check back.
Grand Rounds is a weekly round up of the best health blog posts on the Internet. Each week a different blogger takes turns hosting – me this time around – and summarizes the submissions of the week.
As a music lover, I thought I’d give Grand Rounds a vintage vinyl feel. So please make sure your phonographs are ready to go.
Enjoy the read of the summary and check out what seems interesting
The theme is gratitude. It’s probably the first time the Grand Round is on a Facebook page. So go over to Amanda Brown for an excellent read and selection of posts from Medblogs.
At this time of year, I always stop and think about what I’m thankful for, and this year I’d say the medical blogging community is definitely on my list.
The latest Grand Rounds is made in ChronicBabe style, which means a collection of nice posts. A gathering of doctors, nurses, patients and just regular folk who like to write about medicine. And women. That’s why it’s ladylike, enjoy…

Welcome to the latest edition of Grand Rounds, the weekly compilation of the best of the medical blogosphere! I presume you would rather take a tour through the Netherlands, visiting windmills and tulips, but we will save this for another time. Right now, let’s take a trip around the library.
She did a terrific job and summarized an awful lot of excellent posts, check it out on her blog
This week, I’ve asked medical bloggers to reflect on the theme of “medical safety and technology.” We all want to see safer hospitals and avoid medical errors. Advances in technology may allow us to practice safer medicine if we leverage it appropriately. Technology may also improve public health and safety.
it was during my psych rotation. i was trying to make the most of it and i occasionally almost got it right. one day our intern asked my colleague and i to accompany her on a call to the maximum security ward. we were up for most things and agreed. only after we had agreed did we ask why.
“because i’m too scared to go alone!” was her frank response
Oakland A’s pitcher Justin Duchsherer announced that he will sit out the rest of the season in order to focus on getting treatment for depression. It is not clear if Duchsherer has dealt with clinical depression in the past but the fact that the former all-star has missed a large portion of the last 3 seasons due to injury probably hasn’t helped matters at all. The risk for mood change in an athlete after an injury can be significant.
Sometimes things come crashing down emotionally. I didn’t realize what an emotional toll being so ill in the hospital with a double kidney infection had until yesterday. I didn’t let myself feel it in the midst of the crisis. I guess I was in survival mode. Literally.
This is much more maybe more to your tasting so have a look and read on Medicine & Technology
The weekly grand round of medical people interested in sharing their best writing from the past week is up at The Examining Room of Dr Charles
Scattered among excellent posts are flashbacks to the old school world of 2004 in which Grand Rounds was first conceived. To add some extra relevance I’ve visited some of my favorite medical blogs and mined them for good stuff. Here we go, Old School Grand Rounds, a nod to 2004 when it all began, with some of my homies lending their street credibility
This week the Grand Rounds Carnival takes a “look” (ironic choice of words) at invisible illness issues as well as the best of the medical bloggers who update us on everything from new medical gadgets to their personal experiences.
Researchers Corrigan & O’Shaugnessy cite three main areas that need to be highlighted in order to reduce mental illness stigma. Protest, Education and Contact.
As many of you know, I’ve the chronic illness Addison’s Disease. Not that I feel ill. It doesn’t affect me, really… Not anymore.. I think.
But many people with Addison’s disease suffer silently from this disease. And like many other diseases this disease is seldomly understood by partners, colleagues, friends ….. and doctors.
