My friend Enrico, blogger, über-geek, fellow pirate and medical student who is bravely enduring an enforced pit stop in his journey to become a doctor continues to be an integral part of the medblogging community. He hosts this week’s edition of Grand Rounds, the weekly round-up / carnival of the best of the medblogs.

Mexico Medical Student » Grand Rounds 5:11 - Death and Transfiguration

Welcome to Grand Rounds! I am privileged to be your host for this week’s edition of the best posts of the medical blogosphere. As in the previous two times I’ve hosted, I will integrate music into this edition, but unlike before, I will focus on one piece of music: Tod und Verklärung (Death and Transfiguration) by the German composer Richard Strauss. I said when asking for contributions that adherence to a theme was not necessary; moreover no single theme could really encompass the excellent variety the medblogosphere has to offer. Since this musical selection is quite long–over 20 minutes at least–I have decided to present only excerpts so as to tell the basic story as we go along, placing musical interludes in the list of posts. Hopefully I still keep to the spirit of the piece while not detracting too much from the excellent contributions.
