The Meeks Messenger: Don't Faint, I'm here!

Hi to all. I have not been on the blog before now. I've just had too darn many things going on in my life recently.

I started a new job at the University of Utah Medical Center in the Urology Center. I am the first PA they have ever hired and so far, it has worked out very well. I work with three of the top Urologists in the intermountain area. These guys do more specialized stuff than anybody around. I see patients every day from all around the world.

And from all kinds of other countries too.

I couldn't very well walk off and say sorry, I'm not going to see you any more, so I do family practice every Saturday morning at the same practice I've working at for the past 5 years.
