MARCO Grand Rounds for April 1, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:
 
This Sunday we will discuss "Shortening Medical Training by 30%."  The article is in the March 21st edition of JAMA.   This is a very interesting subject so don't miss it...., page 1143.  Sorry about missing last Sunday but couldn't be helped.    Keep the blue side up.

MARCO Grand Rounds for March 25, 2012

Warren will be unavailable for Grand Rounds this Sunday. He was kind enough to "volunteer" me for duty. 


Subject to the vagaries of HF propagation, the highly-underachieving solar cycle and the CQWPX SSB contest this weekend, we will discuss "Can Your Vitamin Supplement Kill You?"

From Warren, KD4GUA,
 
This Sunday, we will discuss "Diseases of the--week!"  Included are  potential topics such as "Once a year Pap test no longer necessary," due to the co-testing, a Pap smear and an HPV test every 5 yeasr.  The availability to buy a sperm fertility test over-the-counter for $39.  Also, the hiring of 20 robots to take the place of para-clinic personnel in a Silicon Valley hospital.   Also on the list are topics such as "Time for a Good Old-Fashioned Nervous Breakdown,"  "Can Genomics Bend the Cost Curve,"  and "Doctors Struggle to Make Ends Meet."  Take your pick give your preference Sunday.  Should sharpen the cutting edge.  Keep the blue side up.

MARCO Grand Rounds for March 11, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:

 

This Sunday, by request, we will discuss "GOUT."  The word "Gout" comes from the Greek word "Gutta" meaning drop (we still use the abbreviation "ggt" on prescriptions) or bad humor dropping into the joints.  The incidence of gout has increased lately--have you checked your big toe lately?  Tune in should be exotic!   Note:  Daylight savings time starts on March 11th SUNDAY.

    Propagation was super bad the past Sunday.  We wrapped up Thyroid diseases...if you have any hot topics for the future type in below:
