Summertime in Memphis and in Clinic!

Summer has been flying by in the South. Where has time gone? A major portion of my week is spent in clinic. My Mondays are spent in APC or adult primary care.

R.A.M.~Pikeville, KY Edition!

Greetings Blogosphere, There's nothing like summer in the Bluegrass! The weather is mild and the sun seems to be always shining; it's been the treat I needed after finishing up my first year.

Both my younger brother and two cousins graduated this year from high school making this summer break full of family visits and celebrations...and let's not forget those graduation cakes! I've recently be... Read More
