    Evil Grand Rounds: The Redux

    Let's try a little humor here. In an attempt to get my mind off federal bureacracy, I present more Grand Rounds (and other activities) To Be Avoided:

    All announcements are verbatim from my emails.

    Department of Surgery sponsors
    Surgery Grand Rounds
    "Surgical Experience with 25 Conjoined Twins"
    Chang and Eng, Orthopedists!

    Department of Medicine
    Division of Nephrology sponsors
    RENAL GRAND ROUNDS
    �The regulation of parathyroid growth in uremia�
    A guaranteed cure for insomnia...

    Cedars-Sinai Alumni Association sponsors
    THE REVIVAL OF THE ANNUAL
    Attending Staff Gomers
    vs
    The Housestaff Blues
    BASKETBALL GAME

    For those of you who don't know, "gomer" stands for "Get out of my Emergency Room" and is applied to elderly demented patients who turn up in the ER for no really good reason. I do not find it flattering to be referred to as a gomer.

    Department of Psychiatry sponsors
    PSYCHIATRY GRAND ROUNDS
    "The New Role for Psychiatry In
    An Age of Terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction"
    New role? Try "tranquilizer dispenser"

    �Lessons Learned from Litigation Against Oncologists�
    Cancer is a very bad disease. Try not to get it.
