Question: I'm 18 months post aortic valve replacement and just had a cardiologist appointment. I had an echo after 6 months to get a new baseline, but just went a couple weeks ago and my cardiologist didn't do another one. He said everything looked good on the EKG and sounds... Read more.

The cost cutting mindset is alive and well. If you want it, demand it. I mean, ohs is a big deal and it is appropriate to get it. If you feel great and dont care - then follow the cadence. Trick if you personally want it - tell him/her you... Read more.

I usually get one every year, and I just had my nine year anniversary. But like J Alexander Lassally said, the cost-cutting mindset is real in medicine.

My surgeon did a follow up ECHO & CT on me at 4 months and I think we are planning on another one around 16 months. I told my cardiologist that I'd forward the results to him. I'm doing a 10-months EGK with my cardiologist in a couple weeks.

I love this. I want one bad but now on blood thinner and they won't do it. Plus 83, thin skin. I got one with the oldsmobile logo at 78 but it bled a lot and is a little fuzzy. Yours looks crisp.i would say what my lovely wife said... Read more.

Fantastic. Tell me the psychology of the experience for you - the pain of it versus expectation. Did you feel a victory when complete. The pleasure / pain part sort of a controlled labor of love post surgery. In a way, for me, it is like a "F-you" to the... Read more.
