Grand Rounds 2:36 Is Up

Grand Rounds 2:36 is up: this week it is hosted by a nephrologist who blogs on Kidney Notes. It's pathetic, I'm one of the most squeamish people that you could hope not to be the only person around the day you cut yourself or be in need of some First Aid, but I am utterly fascinated by the medblog insight into the working lives of people whose jobs make an obvious and direct difference.

There is the usual mix of the hilarious (a urologist discusses a surgical procedure with a porn star that may interfere with his 'money shot'), the poignant (what happens to patients can make you cry), the controversial (it's Dr Crippen on a controversy that arose from a controversy about home-births, need I say more?) to the thoroughly fed up (most stupid reason for duty calls and I have this problem that I want you to fix).
