I’ll be hosting the next Medical Blogs Grand Rounds (on April 1st), and am honored to be the first Five Time Host of this rotating weekly celebration of the Medical Blogosphere.
There will be no theme (though entries describing how themed Grand Rounds are dull will be considered).
I anticipate including all submissions, but reserve editorial judgment.
So, start your keyboards, and let’s have a good one.
Submissions due Monday March 31st, by 3PM your time. (Late entries might be included, but will be abused for tardiness).
Update: PLEASE hit the ‘contact’ tab above and send your submission that way.

Influenza Flu - Possible Pandemic - Shortage of Ventilators - New York Times
It may sound unthinkable — the idea of denying life support to some people in a public health disaster like an epidemic. But a new report says doctors, health care workers and the public need to start thinking about it.
The headline is misleading; it’s not about choosing who gets a vent (everyone who needs one), it about what to do when they’re all in use, and another is needed: who gets taken OFF the vent?
I sincerely hope I’m never in the position to have to make that decision. Knock on wood, and all that.
