What gives your life—or work—meaning? Our host asks fellow medbloggers this question in this edition of Grand Rounds, which results in tons of tasty answers. Enjoy!

The Fight Like A Girl Club is a site for women battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and it totally kicks ass. It's super-cute, pink and bubbly, and also totally audacious. And we like. Get your booties over there if you haven't seen it yet!

A new survey by WEGO Health shows that social media "power users" (hey, that's me!, says Editrix Jenni) like to interact online with health care companies, and that while they want some regulation of those companies, they don't want them shackled by too many rules. Get more scoop on the research.

Hosted by Possibilism, today's PFAM has the theme of "Is Help a Four-Letter Word?" and it is just fabulous, ladies. You've got to head over and see what hostess Hayzell has put together!
