Grand Rounds Vol. 5 No. 17 Will Be Hosted Here on January 13

Long time reader and admirer of Grand Rounds (a weekly rotating collection of the best posts from the health care blogosphere). First time host.

I am delighted to have this blog be home base for the upcoming January 13 Grand Rounds. I hope I am overwhelmed with your wonderful and eclectic submissions.

I'd like to offer as a suggested - but optional - theme the topic of: Connections.

I often blog about the connection between two partners and how that connection affects the experience of illness and how illness affects that relationship.

Connections can be between people, groups, ideas, opinions, facts, devices, places, events, etc. The connection can be positive or negative, predictable or surprising. The connection can involve you directly, or you may be a witness. I am interested in your stories, experiences, and thoughts about how the connection between things led (or could lead) to an outcome that was in some way beyond what could have happened had those things remained apart.

You are also welcome to submit a post on any other topic that's of interest to you.

Please send your submission by Sunday, January 11, 2:00pm EST. You can email it to: bkivowitz at gmail dot com
