Hey, Dr Mekala... My time with you always goes way too fast, and I didn't bring a list of 20 questions to ask. Next time! I have no clue how many patients you have, but I appreciate you each visit, and knowing you're there in-between, if needed. :)

I had to wait one hour and fifteen minutes before the doctor came in my room. When I first got in the room he stuck his head in and just waved. So 1hr 15 minutes he came in. Also in the room next to mine there was a lot of talking and laughing. Sounded like they were having a party.
