Gina has taken time from her busy schedule as an Intensive Care Nurse to host Grand Rounds this week – the seventh time she has hosted GR.   Stop by when you get a chance, and you’ll find some good reading material.

This week’s Grand Rounds is hosted by David Williams at Health Business Blog.   As usual, there is plenty of good reading.  Pranab’s post Trick or Treat: Do Doctors Encourage Poor Patient Behaviors, at the blog Scepticemia is well-written, interesting, and says as much about behavior as it does about medicine.

Jacqueline (aka Laika) has this week’s Grand Rounds up at Laika’s MedLibLog.

One might wonder if many posts could be found that fit the theme:  Data, Information, and Communication.   There are approximately fifty posts in this Rounds, so many that you will want to go back several times, so as not to miss anything interesting.  Dr. Herb Mathewson has a post – Want to Go Dutch…or French…or German? - on learning about other countries’ healthcare systems.  There are several posts about social media and medicine – too many to mention, but obviously a source of information for those interested in learning more about this subject – most appropriate for those of us who are of an older, pre-computer age.  Some posts are very serious (My Review of Lifetime’s Movie: Five), while others, such as  ZDoggMD’s Doctors Today, are of a lighter nature.  Stop by and have a look.

It’s time for this week’s Grand Rounds, which can be found at Healthcare Economist.  Jason has put together an interesting set of posts, everything from a book review to a post about the iPhone.  Stop by for some enjoyable reading.

Louise has this week’s Grand Rounds up at Colorado Health Insurance Insider.  Good reading on topics that are informative and sometimes controversial.  Stop by and have a look.

This week’s Grand Rounds is up at Health 3.0 Blog.  Plenty of good posts, and if you like music with your reading, at the bottom of the page there are six versions of the song Goodnight Irene  for your listening enjoyment  - artists from Johnny Cash to Peter, Paul and Mary.

Dr. Ed Pullen has this week’s Grand Rounds up at DrPullen.com.  As well as the usual range of subjects covered in the medical blogging world, he has gone further afield with a few interesting additions, including a recipe for raspberry pie.  Take a look when you have a chance to relax and read.

Dr. Elaine Schattner has Grand Rounds this week at Medical Lessons.  Not only has she put together some very interesting reading, but a range of photos from around the world.  In her call for submissions Dr. Schattner asked that bloggers submit a photo from their region, and she received some lovely images.  Have a look.

Louise  has this week’s Grand Rounds up at Colorado Health Insurance Insider.   You will find plenty of reading material here for the entire week.   Whatever your fields of interest, there will something for you.  Take a look.

Dr. Val Jones has this week’s Grand Rounds up at Better Health.   You can find reading material here for the entire week, as Dr. Jones has included more than forty posts.  Some are inspirational, like Dr. Ed Pullen’s Carpe Diem; others cover material that is hard to believe, as in Roy’s post Doctors to Go to Jail for Asking Patients about Guns in the Home.   Whatever your fields of interest, there will something for you.  Take a look.
