As the title says how can I find a doctor who is an EXPERT on the different GLP-1s? We're happy to pay out of pocket, so insurance coverage is not an issue. Her GP and cardiologist can't seem to answer specific questions she has, they're happy to write prescriptions but we want someone who really can explain benefits vs. side effects and the different options out there, especially for someone who is 70 yrs old and hesitant to take any kind of medication.

I've tried googling "Obesity Specialists Los Angeles" but it's kind of hard assessing if they are actually an expert on this subject or just handing out GLP-1 prescriptions (not what we're looking for). Thanks for any input or recommendations to specific providers.

My mom who I love dearly has spent her whole adult life trying to lose weight, it's not about willpower I promise you that. She turns 70 and it's really catching up to her, she wants help but is really scared of taking medications.

I have jury duty this week. I never ignore the summons and about 6-7 years ago actually served on a trial. I woke up yesterday really really sick. Fever, congestion, etc. I tried going into the portal yesterday and it's too late to postpone. Tried calling this morning and I can't get past the automated system. Found on the website it says if you have COVID to call between 11am-12pm to reach court staff. Well I've tried for the past 10 minutes and nothing, can't get past the stupid automated system. So I ripped up the summons. I feel like dying right now I'm so sick and can't breathe out of my nose. JOKE OF A SYSTEM. Thank you for listening to my rant. I will great them at the door with my rudolph red nose and box of tissues when they come to arrest me for not showing up this week.
