Grand Rounds: New Take, Old Tradition
In honor of the historical look back at the origins of Grand Rounds provided by Dr. Sam Blackman this morning over at Blog, MD, I present this old ad for a classic doctor’s “black bag”.
I’m not sure when this ad was produced, but I bet those prices weren’t exactly cheap!
It has a characteristic called “open-flap”.
Well duh, how are you going to get inside it?
As I mentioned yesterday, I missed this week’s deadline because of my Jazzercise class.
I won’t be missing out on reading Grand Rounds though!
The coffee is brewing as we speak!
******************************
It’s also Change of Shift week and our old friend Gina will be hosting over at Code Blog: Tales of a Nurse this Thursday!
Send your nursing-related posts to “codeblogrn at gmail dot com”.
I’m writing my submission today and encourage any and all bloggers with nurse-related stories or nurses with any stories to send their submissions to Gina by the deadline!

Ever since I locked myself out of Windows and have used a workaround, I can’t get full access to blog md’s site. Gak! I’m going to try to borrow someone’s pc so I can read all of the linky goodness.
Enjoy your coffee - that sounds too tempting!

This Grand Rounds is delightful. My grandfather, who graduated in 1911 (pre-Flexner Report) from a medical college that met the standards (whew) had a horse and buffy practice, no radiology in the curriculum, no ATB’s (for several more years) and his yearbook photo of the lab showed 10x powered microscopes - state of the art!
So interesting, all of the history!
