Leigh Kramer from the blog “Confessions of a Young (Looking) Social Worker” will be hosting Palliative Care Grand Rounds this Wednesday, September the 2nd. For those of you who don’t know, Palliative Care Grand Rounds is a great series that puts a spotlight on outstanding blog posts focused on hospice, palliative care, death, or dying. Stop by her site starting this Wednesday to see what great blog finds she has been able to dig up.
Also of note, GeriPal is hosting Palliative Care Grand Rounds on Wednesday, October 7th! GeriPal hit close to 400 readers on Friday alone, so I have no doubt that the GeriPal community can uncover some great posts hiding out there in the blogosphere. If you see, hear, or smell anything over the next month that you think is worth passing on, please comment on this post with a link to the article.

He is a "a freelance medical writer and health care journalist with an unprecedented breadth of experience writing about the policy, financial, clinical, administrative and human aspects of hospice, palliative care, end-of-life care, death and dying". He's an active tweeter, really wish he'd blog more often. His latest tweet includes a link to the newly published OIG report on medicare hospice care in nursing facilities.
