Chantal (aka Foodie Beauty) goes live to eat takeout from her favorite vegetarian restaurant, The Green Door, while telling a story about a recent return visit to the ER. She describes symptoms (shortness of breath, chest pain), tests (blood sugar spike, CT scan with contrast, ECG), follow-up imaging for an enlarged lymph node, and wound/FUPA healing. Throughout the livestream she samples and describes multiple dishes (beets, avocado with marinated red onion, mung-bean-style noodles, kale mashed potatoes, tofu stir-fry, vegan cheesecake and other desserts), answers viewers' questions about health and diet, mentions recent INR and diabetes management, and interacts with her cat Sam and viewers.
