We are continuing to go through the frustration of all the medical professionals immediately jumping to the conclusion that it’s psychological. Even at the kids long covid clinic!
@clarkiestar
Reprehensible. Patient reports are valuable data. Trusting only quantifiable data is narrow thinking. Who finds the Kids Long COVID clinic?
@GlennMG @clarkiestar it falls within the uk national health service
@clarkiestar I am so sorry. And dear gods I didn't realise long covid rates in kids were one in six, that's horrifying.
@clarkiestar
You are so right!
Reminds me of the pneumologist who wrote "normal findings" despite the automatic calculation of the results with a lung age of 68 (I was 38). He said it couldn't be, I must have been too lazy. (We did an asthma test, the lunge age increased with each blow. That's not the script he learned beforehand).
Lesson: DONT TRUST PHYSICIANS
