Nurse Ratched’s Place is the home of this week’s Grand Rounds, the best collection of recent posts from the medical blogosphere.  I loved the use of retro (I mean retro) photos showing how far medicine has come and how quackery still hasn’t changed much.  (my magentic bracelet hasn’t come in now that I think about it… heh)

Go check it out! Oh and happy ‘Diez y seis de septiembre‘, Mexican indepdendence day.  Unlike cinco de mayo which is all but ignored unless you live in Puebla, this holiday is the most important for the nation–their 4th of July, if you will. But it’s hard to make a beer/liquor campaign here in the US with such a long name.  Still, some people try like this group in Austin try to do it anyway and keep the true tradition alive.  I’m going to go do my part to celebrate *cough* *cough* later this afternoon on the other side of the border and hope Dept. of Homeland Security is gullible kind enough to let me back in.
