Grand Rounds Volume 7, Number 26: The Emotional Edition

medblog weekly grand round

This brand new Grand Round is up at Better Health

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 each category, it seems that the majority of you are either surprised or outraged!

Palliative Care Grand Rounds 1.10

Pallimed Grand Round

The new Palliative Care Grand Rounds is up. It’s the monthly review of the best of palliative care related blogs.

This month I am handing out awards because I am so glad to see so many bloggers talking about palliative care issues and I think some of them need to be recognized. If you need to pick up your award, feel free to come visit me in Kansas City.

Hope I will be in the neighborhood of Kansas City in the near future to collect my award.

Grand Rounds at See First

Read the excellent introduction and quickly go and read at See First Insights into the uncertain world of healthcare

If you make the rounds of the blogosphere and the traditional media these days, you find lots of talk about health care. But it’s mostly abstract, and typically fixated on the politics of this or that plan.

However, there’s a whole other side to health care which isn’t seen or covered enough by traditional media or bloggers — the doctors, nurses, medical professionals and patients who actually are the health care system.

Blogs make it possible for these voices to be heard, and we’re very fortunate to have a great variety of blogs and bloggers to feature in this edition of Grand Rounds. These stories and these people need a more prominent place in the public mind, and I’m hopeful I can play a small part in that with this week’s edition.
