Oh, The Grand Rounds you will have!
October 2, 2007
Welcome, oh welcome, from near and from far
Whatever you do and whoever you are
If you live oh so close, or in far away lands
Welcome today to the rounds that are grand!
There are some who may say that a blog is a blog
Like a cat is a cat, or a dog is a dog
But let me tell you that there are some that out-stand
And that is the reason for the rounds that are grand!
But first let me warn you:
there are thirty-eight!
To read it in one sitting
may make you so late
So do not attempt it
unless you have got a
Triple-shot, triple-dark,
triple-tall latte
Doctoring Blocktering Blithering Blog
Some bloggers blog about being a doc
Just what you may learn may come as a shock
It isn’t just praise and a pat on the back
There is plenty of trouble and plenty of flack.
So let me start out with the great Dr. Sid
Who writes about spaces and where they are hid
And then there is Bongi who wisely advises
That surgery sometimes can bring you surprises
Grunt Doctor talks about
people whose choices
Are based on delusions
and make-believe voices
At Shrink Rap the numbers
do clearly attest
It costs lots of money
when you are depressed
A Highlight is made of a thought getting traction
Predicting when drugs will cause a reaction
On Fruit of the Womb a condition we learn
That makes it real hard to carry to term
The Tiny Shrink tells of a troubling list
That tells of conditions too commonly missed
Unbounded Medicine’s blog fills us in
When surgery literally gets under the skin
Interview Shminterview Shmuddly Shmoo
They yip and they yap,
they chit and they chatter
They say what is good
and then what is the matter
Like BB’s dear Mother,
a dame on a mission
She talks with a researcher
of BB’s condition.
“Have Sickness, Will Travel” is some people’s motto
But read Business Blog or you’re playing the lotto.
Hsien interviews with the skill of MacGyver
Tactfully questioning cancer survivors.
Nice Advice at a Very good Price
What do you do? Oh, Where can you turn?
These bloggers are where you should turn so you’ll learn
Like the blog about medicine for the outdoors
Gives useful advice to protect you and yours.
Teenage relations are
treacherous roads
Teen Health gives guidance
to lighten the load.
What do you do
when a person is furious?
Hear Nexus’ words
if you really are curious.
Hullabaloo and Mayhem Too
Some bloggers keep their tone tranquil and quiet
But other’s provoke to the verge of a riot
So if you don’t mind all the mayhem creating
Just click on these links and then start your debating!
What should we do for our boys in the war?
This ER blog says we should do a lot more.
Cleanliness should be the rule you would guess
But a Nursey complains when things are a mess!
When thinking of nursing, Nurse Kim sees the light
The cry you should hear should be “Nurses Unite!”
Is the ACS wise to be spending on ads?
The InsureBlog thinks that these choices are bad.
The FDA’s looking at
drugs from our history
Just why they would do it’s
an Executive mystery
In fear of a magnet
the EU will run
But as Sandy points out
then the MRI’s done
Oh rickety sources of vitamin C
Oh is this the truth? How could it be?
Sermo’s for doctors, and business was booming
But security breaches get Enrico fuming.
Fetch a Stretch or end a Wretch
It’s now time to stretch out your legs just a bit
For blood starts its pooling the longer you sit
So run to the kitchen and grab a quick bite
And Dali the Llama will hold your place tight.
Non-Confusing Musing (no Refusing)
Now let us get back to a theme less confusing
For just like this blogger does, some folks are musing
They think about anything under the sun
(With the possible exception of Warblaxy Shprun).
Sometimes it’s trying to be diabetic
And Allison sometimes can feel quite pathetic
Joining her, telling a tale of her thirties
Eating can sometimes make Rachael feel dirty
Moving the earth is no jump in a puddle
It left this good pharmacist totally befuddled
Laurie does blog of a dose that is chronic
Sometimes real life is a most bitter tonic
Amy is tiring of standards so tough
Doesn’t she already feel guilty enough?
Finally there stands out our dear Dr. Val
Who cheers us med blogger types (Oh what a gal!)
The Yin and the Yang Sneeches
If Medical Bloggers have bellies with stars
Alternative bloggers have none upon thars
If ever your prostate should start heading south
Disease Proof says veggies should go in your mouth
Lymehealth is wondering if it is time
To try Chinese herbals to counteract Lyme
Doctor A ponders with back pain who wins:
Those treated with pills or those poked with the pins?
The Frivolous Fun Finale Fling
You’ve finally made it! You really have done it!
You’ve reached last section! You’ve climbed to the summit!
And let me tell you that you can’t beat the timing,
My mind is fatiguing with all of this rhyming!
Let’s start it all out with a blog named in Latin
Who tells when some bad-smelling fluids went splattin’
Philip gives comments of House episodes
So all you with Crushes should hit his abode
All-night calls make their work hard enough
But a Resident Spelling Quiz is overly-tough
For people dealing with longstanding pain
This blogmaster inspires them to join in a game
Healthline Connects knows life can be tiring
But a Canyon Ranch stay gets your cylinders firing
Tech Medicine says it’s all in the sack
Your laptop will thank you and so will your back
Ever Electrifying Encore
I said that I would do
“just” thirty-eight
But two sorry bloggers
did turn theirs in late
They promised me money,
they promised me loot,
If only their work
would not get the boot
First is from Jolie who means you no harm
And tells you to smile while you stretch out your arm
And Finally Kerri will ever be wiser
When sticking for blood, she ends up with a geyser
And that is the end of the grands that are round
My hat’s off to all the great bloggers I found
I ask that you stop by here some other time
I promise my blogging is rarely in rhyme
The Big Debt I O U
There are two people’s worth I should endlessly crow
Without whom my value’d be terribly low
And so let it be said, let everyone know
My thanks never ending will forever grow
A Seuss of a Doctor’s
the first I will mention His rhymes I have mimicked
but I have no pretension
That I could share anything other than “Doc”
And so in your honor
I “flambamode shtrock.”
And finally there’s one that’s
beyond comprehension
Who patiently deals
with my silly obsession
My Dear Blogging Widow,
I’ve finished this test
So Now I do promise
to give it a rest.
Next week if blogging’s your itch you can scratch it
Next weeks host of Grand Rounds is Nurse Ratchet.

Absolutely amazing job!!!!
October 2nd, 2007 at 7:31 am
Dr. Rob! You’ve outdone yourself! Llamas, goats AND shtrocks! And to make things even nicer, they’re all rhyming!
How have you managed to stop yourself from rhyming to your patients this entire time?
October 2nd, 2007 at 7:38 am
The grandest of rounds!
October 2nd, 2007 at 7:41 am
Absolute tour de force!
Frankly, however good a doctor you are, you are wasted in medicine.

I’m laughing out loud and I’m shaking my head.
There’s work to be done, but I’m reading, instead!
So, Dr. Rob, THANKS! For these Rounds that are grand.
Just wonderful! Marvelous! Best in the land!
October 2nd, 2007 at 8:41 am
Wow–I think this is the best GR I have seen yet, and I haven’t even clicked on the links yet! Excellent!
October 2nd, 2007 at 8:57 am
A first! A first!
If I may be so bold.
Quenching a thirst,
A joy to behold!
Grand Rounds that astounds
with a clever design.
Best Rounds I have found:
Good job doc! Sublime!
October 2nd, 2007 at 9:53 am
Amazing job, Rob! That must have taken HOURS to concoct, and absolutely worth the effort.
Thank you so much for hosting, and for including our post.
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:03 am

LInk going up shortly!!!!!! : D

That’s it, it’s all over, no more can be said.
Doctor Rob has surpassed every Rounds that I’ve read.
The excuses I’ve given for not hosting here
Are no longer needed, I say with a leer.
Because it is obvious I won’t have to lie:
The Distractible Mind set the bar way too high.
My joy in your rhyming surpasses all else,
The actual posts could be left on the shelf.
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:47 am
Wonderful! Fantastic!
You did a great job!
An extremely entertaining read…Dr.Seuss would be so proud.
October 2nd, 2007 at 11:30 am
OMG, I’m a huge Dr. Seuss fan myself. Great job, my friend!!
October 2nd, 2007 at 11:39 am
I do believe your “distractible mind”
Is actually nothing of the kind.
Laser-sharp is the mind inside your head
To create the best GR I’ve ever read!

Dr. Rob! Dr. Rob!
You do write the best blog.
To take matters of death and life
Make them funny and make them light.
Make everyone of us feel special.
Dr. Rob! Dr. Rob!
You deserve a medal.

Hands down, best grand rounds. Ever.

ok, ok, i am late. why didn’t you tell me you’re the Grand Host? I could put up a huge banner in my blog.
anyway, i love your presentation….hahahaha. I never thought a lama, goats and bugs bunny are good combination.
Next time, anyone who wants to host and needs a town crier, I can do that job for anyone. That’s my way of showing support. I’ll post it on my blog.
Well done, Dr. Rob! Hey, it isn’t so late yet, I’ll write something on my blog so they can read all the good entries you have here alright?
*wordpress says i got the wrong sum…i need a calculator…hahahaha

Great way to treat insomnia!
October 11th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Can I come to work for you? Anyone who makes rounds this much fun has to be pretty special. Very enjoyable.
