Hi Folks! Looks like I got old and developed back problems! A diagnosis of spinal stenosis and also a possible sacroiliac issue. So I'm looking for a top notch traumatologist or orthopedist. If you have any ideas about who might be helpful please send them along. I have Hospital Italiano...

A shout out to anyone who knows a good Osteopath. I was referred to an Osteopath in Belgrano but he is booked up for all of December. I don't want to wait so long to address this lower back problem. Any ideas would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

I'm checking one way flights from EZE to MIA today on the Aerolineas website and coming across many "promotion" flights for about $560US. These are flights in mid to late August. Seems too good to be true. What's the consensus? Is there a catch that I'm missing?

Hello there folks! I'm trying to round up an English speaking Ophthalmologist. Any info would be most welcome. The peepers ain't what they used to be!

I'm going to need a PCR test 72 hours before I fly out of Benito Juarez airport for EZE. Does anyone have any experience getting a PCR test here in the DF? A long shot I know.:)

It is a long shot I know, but if any of you lads out there are in the market for some very nice used suits I have some. I'm slimming down before leaving. 40 long coats and 34x32 pants. Send me a PM if you have some interest. Priced to sell.

I'm going to post a Craigslist listing here if it is OK with management. I visited this apartment recently and it is exquisite. A steal for $800US monthly. The owners are nice folks who are struggling to rent it given the consequences of the pandemic...

Howdy folks. Please pass along any recommendations y'all might have for a competent General Practitioner who is fluent in English. My Spanish is not up to snuff. I'm in Recoleta but I don't mind traveling a bit. I will pay out of pocket. As an aside, I have Hospital Italiano coverage but their...

Has anyone had any luck chasing down this mustard? Seems to me I may have come across it once years ago. Honestly, I have never seen a bigger collection of lame mustards than here in Buenos Aires. Even the expensive ones are poor. I rolled the dice with a Kansas Honey Mustard recently. You could...

Particularly interesting was Argentina listed as the number 1 destination for USA millennials. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/realestate/how-to-be-an-expatriate-in-2020.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimestravel

Seems it is time for some dental work, and I'm wondering if any of y'all out there have been treated through the dental department at Hospital Italiano. I'm wondering whether to use my insurance or go private. Any input much appreciated!

Before I dig deeper I thought I would run a question by the electronics whizzes here. I'll be in the states for Christmas and I want to bring back a number of DVDs. I'm aware that the US is a different region than Argentina which poses a problem. I've been told that I should purchase a region...

Hello folks-I did a "search" for podiatrists and came up empty. Any recommendations for a podiatrist in town? Much thanks from me and my toes.

Well, I'm back in CABA and looking to avoid the ridiculous ATM fees. I checked out Western Union online and the quoted exchange rate was 1US=$40.26pesos. Crikey. I must be missing something being new to Western Union. For all you Western Union users, is this a typical exchange rate (in addition...

I ventured out today to buy a half kilo of Columbian at my fave coffee place, General de Cafe, on Pueyrredon. But, it is boarded up !! There were two other locations a few years ago when I was here. Any ideas as to whether the others are still kicking ? One was on either Reconquista or San...

I will be returning to Buenos Aires on the morning of March 25. I would like a marching band welcome and some real yummy facturas. Gracias !!

Hello folks ! A quick question. I've been half thinking of returning to BsAs for awhile, but the health insurance situation is an impediment. I'm 65 now and will turn 66 in a few months. I had a friend in BsAs call Hospital Italiano yesterday and inquire about my chances of being covered. They...

I'll likely be leaving BsAs come the middle of March. Ordinarily I've narrowed the possibilities down to one or two countries/cities when its time to skedaddle. But not this time. So, I thought I would think out loud a bit and invite any fellow nomads to weigh in. Asia crossed off the list this...

Its that time of the year. Has anybody scheduled a flu shot through Swiss Medical ? Thanks !

I've been back in BsAs for a bit more than half a year after a two year absence. I seem to notice less snatch and grab incidents than when I previously lived here (for six years). I can remember personally witnessing a lot of open theft on the streets and was a victim once myself. I've witnessed...
