October 20

This week was a pretty good one. It was pretty busy with work, going to cases, visiting Dr's offices, etc. Yesterday and today (Sat) Andy and I had a Region 7 Podiatry conference downtown that we attended. One of the companies we represent (BME=Bio medical Enterprise) had a booth and the Regional mngr, Jen came into town to set up a booth. They speicalize in a compression staple. I's basically a staple to you use in the foot when you have a Pt with a fracture or a joint you want to fuse. In short, you drill small holes in the bone, insert the staple and "zap" it with a bi=polar current with a small handle that has 2 probes and the staple legs compress wtogether thus putting pressure on the fracture so it can heal. Phew! So we went there to help her out. The display she brought and put up was nice. We talked to a lot of Dr's we already knew, and got a few more cases out of it. It was a good weekend. It is cool to see how many good relationships Andy has with alot of the Dr's in the state. We then went down one block and a big snowboard/ski store was having a big sale and a snowboard rail contest. It was cool to see a lot of the pros that you normally don't see in SLC. Here are a few photos and vidoes of the event. And I wanted to get a photo of the BME booth but forgot....

Video- Magoon killing it. So smooth.

I had to help set up a booth for a medical conference my company attended last year at the Salt Palace. Those tradeshows can be really hectic but are great for networking which it sounds like you did a lot of. It's great to hear that you had a good experience at the one you went to.
