Grand Rounds: Valentine's Day edition

The Valentine's Day edition of Grand Rounds, the "the weekly rotating carnival of the best of the medical blogosphere," has been published at HealthBlawg, David Harlow's Health Care Law Blog.

Mr Harlow included Canadian Medicine's recent entry, "Doctors must kill the skunk, says bioethicist."

"One day, the phrase 'kill the skunk' will be synonymous with 'do the right thing,' and you'll be able to say you remember the day you read Sam Solomon's seminal medical ethics skunk post at Canadian Medicine."

Here are a few of the notable posts included in this week's Grand Rounds:

"How often do you see 'folie a deux' and 'Q-Tip' in the same post? Tip of the hat to Liana at Med Valley High for this tale of two strange birds. (Would someone kindly page Oliver Sacks?)"

"JC Jones ruminates on Heath Ledger's untimely demise at Healthline Connects, and introduces us to a couple of 'wolves in white coats,' MDs peddling scrips for controlled substances."

You can read a Pre-Rounds interview with the host, health lawyer David Harlow, conducted by Nick Genes for Medscape.

DailyInterview.net will be hosting next week.

It looks as though we here at Canadian Medicine will be hosting Grand Rounds sometime next month. We'll be sure to let you know when we firm up the date.
