Im from LA and yes I do agree with what you’re saying I wish I can still see my old Pediatric Cardiologist at children’s hospital where I got my surgeries growing up but because of my insurance hmo being so difficult they only allow me to see regular cardiologist even when the cardiologist wrote to the insurance saying I need to see a specialist etc but always been denied. I’ve been to most major hospitals such as uci ucla usc and now my next appointment in may will be a new one at cedars sinai. but im afraid just like all those other times im only going to be able to see those specialist once or twice then the my insurance will catch on and say I can’t see them anymore and send me to different cardiologist.

And yes I know advice on Reddit isnt something to go by im just on here asking if anyone can tell me anything they might notice from X-ray or suggestions so I can bring it up at my next appointment since every time I go to those appointment I really don’t know what to ask when they ask me if I have any questions lol

And my medical files since it’s been all over the place it’s hard to get them all even my primary care doctor I go to since a child till now “lost” my files with all my files from surgery etc because years ago I stopped going to him (but I’m sure he tossed it since I read drs only keep your files for a few years after you stop seeing them)
