The medical-blog roundup known as Grand Rounds is up today at Dr. Charles, with a wide selection of good reading.
And this is a good time to announce that I'm going to be hosting the next installment a week from now. Please feel free to send along links to any good blog posts on medical topics - your own, or ones you've come across when you're supposed to be working.
