This time the grand rounds was held in Africa at one of my favorite blog spots.
It had a few good articles that were worth pondering about. The one by rlbates on hematomas in plastic surgeries. Makes us understand some logical reason (hypotensive anesthesias to create a bloodless field during surgery) can go wrong due to a better logical explanation. (After closing the wound and blood pressure coming to normal small bleeders not cauterized during surgery bleeding and causing hematomas).
The other article (Extend the spirit of Christmas) which makes us start thinking why we get the helping mentality only during festive seasons and make us feel that, the same attitude should last throughout the year.
I liked ‘good suggestions’ and ‘resolutions for doctors and patients’ which made me think of those suggestions and new year resolutions seriously. Simple yet very much necessary. The ones about brain fitness in ‘expensive brains’ was also great. Susan’s article on ‘night of trauma’ takes us through the agony of human life, death and suffering. All in all more exposure to me to these fantastic writers. If any of you visiting my blog have the time, do visit to ponder further.
