Roar!

Roar!

Howdy folks! I know, it's been a while since my last Blog, but I've been busy trying to Make Urology Greater Again. Plus, I've been searching for something meaningful and positive to say, since my mom thinks my past blogs sounded a little bitter. What do you think?

Overall, I'm alive and well in the great city of Austin, TX, so life is good. Greater Austin Urology is gradually filling up with patients, both old and new. I have performed my first 2 robotic cases, and they went well. And on April 12, we celebrated our second month in business with a Grand Opening/Open House at the office. Many thanks to everybody who pitched in to make it successful: Glen Dyson and Lance Gay from Cogentix, Britney Blankenship from Touchstone Imaging, Danny Williamson from 180 Medical, Landon Groff from J&R Medical, and last but not least, my parents Nick and Vasso Jacomides, for coming all the way from Houston to bring baklava!

Of course, there have been some down moments too. Starting and running a business, especially a medical practice, is not easy. There are serious headwinds that eventually force many of the small fish in the ocean to seek power in numbers, whether it be with big hospital systems, big multi-specialty clinics, or big single-specialty practices. I really think there are a lot of people out there who want to see me and others like me fail, but I keep looking for allies to help me win the battle. Unfortunately, while attending one of those meetings yesterday, my car got broken into and my laptop was stolen. Don't worry- all of my data is password-encrypted, but it still sucks nonetheless. I feel like the only doctor who had a worse week than me was Ronny Jackson, Trump's doctor and failed pick for VA Secretary!

It's easy to get despondent, but lately whenever I start to feel this way, for some strange reason (for which I'm sure I will catch a little grief), I think of the words to the song "Roar" by pop diva Katy Perry:

"You held me down, but I got up. Get ready 'cause I had enough. I see it all, I see it now. I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing though the fire, 'cause I am a champion, and you're going to hear me roar, louder, louder than a lion, 'cause I am a champion, and you're going to hear me roar!"

I know, make fun of me all you want, but the best days of Greater Austin Urology are ahead of us. I won't go down without a fight, and it's going to take a lot more than petty larceny to get me down. So time to jump on the bandwagon, everybody, because I am a champion, and you're going to hear me roar!
