New Cardiologist

We had our first appointment with Santiago's new, local cardiologist this week. As with any change, it's going to take some getting used to. Naturally, we immediately compared him to our CHLA card, whom we loved. And we compared our overall experience with the CHLA experience. It's not that we don't like him or his office, we are just really comfortable with the way CHLA did things.

There are a few things that bothered us about our appointment:
-They wanted to weigh him with his dirty diaper on?! Honestly, What's the point? We'd have an inaccurate weight.
-They didn't think about taking his sats until half way through the appointment and when they did they used a used lead. Gross. If I realized it sooner I would have asked for a new one.
-They recommended Santi go back to taking half a baby aspirin daily.
-They recommended he go back on Enalapril (blood pressure med) daily.
-They sent him home in a Holster monitor (pictured). It's like a 24hr EKG.

However...
-We were the only people in the waiting room. Hooray for not being surrounded by coughing children!
-The office is 15 minutes from home.
-The doctor seems nice and he knows our former cardiologist.
