MedBlogs Grand Rounds 2:38

Posted by GruntDoc on 13th June 2006

It’s that time: The Haversian Canal: Grand Rounds Vol 2 No 38

Of 42 entries from 39 authors, 25 met the criteria I put forward in my call for submissions. Of my original categories, two gathered no enteries that meaningfully fit the categories: Case studies and ethics. My explicit goal was the 30 best articles from 30 authors. My aim was to motivate the authors, as a whole, to stretch a little further. Was it successful?

Another good group of links. Should keep you occupied for the whole morning.

AMA recruiting gimmick

Posted by GruntDoc on 13th June 2006

Today in the mail came a big envelope, and a full-page flyer trumpeting "AMA membership for 1/2 price".  It’s a nice ad, with a cute kid and a caring doc.

The devil is in the details: Yes, it’s half-price membership, because it’s for a half-year of membership.

AMA is half-off their rocker

AMA: Not a member since 1998. Not likely to be, at this rate.
