    Moving to LA - cardiologist recs?

    Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been on the board. Just had echo and everything looks good after my 2020 AVR. I know there are some members from Southern California on here. Anyone have a recommendation for a cardiologist in the LA area? Feel free to privately message me if you prefer...

    Any advice welcome

    Hi Ricaldo, The waiting room is the hardest part. My biggest regret is that I didn't talk to a therapist.

    COVID

    The pandemic has certainly made me an anti-jeanser. All I want for Christmas are more sweatpants or anything with a drawstring or elastic :D.

    COVID

    Also all for it. Having expired vaccines is deeply upsetting when thinking about all the people here who need boosters and the fact that so many people around the world need (and want) their first shot. I know someone who had multiple heart surgeries and went to Walgreens for a booster. They...

    COVID

    Not sure. I know people who’ve gotten boosters very easily at CVS because they didn’t want to wait 8 months. They have pre-existing conditions like us and aren’t sure how immunocompromised they are. I’m sure people without any health issues at all have done the same. 8 months seems long. I...
