Grand Rounds 3.38 Immediate Release

Welcome to the latest round up of the best of the healthcare
blogosphere. Today it is my pleasure to offer you your weekly dose of Grand
Rounds, optimized for your state of mind.
I believe that there are two basic types of blog readers, and so you’re
getting Grand Rounds 2 ways (with a dash of cartoons thrown in for extra “feel
good” measure):

  1. Just
    the Facts
    : Distractible, hurried, currently in between seeing patients –
    or perhaps your kids, cats, dogs, llamas are begging for attention… or
    maybe you’re an ER nurse or surgeon who has no patience for long winded
    stories?  You’re category one and
    should proceed directly to Grand Rounds IR (immediate release – below).
  2. All
    the Details
    : Calm, peaceful, you enjoy good prose and a cup of chai
    latte.  You like reading all the
    juicy details of a grand rounds line up and will spend hours picking
    through the references – or maybe you’re an Internist or Psychologist who
    knows that the best medicine is found in the details?  You’re category two and should proceed
    directly to Grand Rounds XR (extended release – next post).

Many thanks to Nick Genes, father of Grand Rounds (who acts
behind the scenes to ensure the success of each host), and please check out
next week’s Grand Rounds at Code Blog: Tales of a Nurse.
