Grand Rounds 5:11 here on Dec 2 and Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!! I realized just a bit ago that I neglected to have a “ready” post to formally accept submissions for the upcoming edition of Grand Rounds next Tuesday, December 2nd. I apologize profusely, and can only offer as my excuse the craziness of two family birthdays, Thanksgiving, and all the family coming and going that occurs during this time. Mea culpa!
Before I continue, make sure you go see the excellent current edition at Canadian Medicine, featuring last week’s content. If you submitted a piece that wasn’t included in Dr. Solomon’s edition, re-send to me for consideration.
Please have all articles submitted to me no later than 18:00CST/17:00EST Sunday, November 30th (00:00UTC Monday December 1st) for inclusion by sending an email to enrico -[at]- mexicomedstudent.com. Please put “Grand Rounds” in the subject, and in the body text include the URL and a sentence or two of summary. That summary is important because not everyone’s URL is descriptive, and when I have a table of URLs, etc. when planning the edition, a blurb really helps.
I do have a tentative theme in mind but don’t want to reveal too much (and want some flexibility to change it
) but these words should be applicable: renewal, metamorphosis, change, transformation. That should be enigmatic enough for everyone.
Do not feel constrained by these, however. There is no judgment about whether to include or not based on any theme; each article is reviewed on its own merit.
Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to reading everyone’s entries! Good health to all, and for those traveling here in the US this holiday season, be safe.

I’m intrigued with the ambiguous theme hints and will put my thinking cap on to come up with something worthy of inclusion.
