Finally: Diagnosis. Oddly: symptoms have come in stages. Others?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (38)Comment receiving replies
I am a retired Kaiser Cardiologist whose first LC symptom was AFlutter requiring Cardioversion. That was March 2020 so not thought related to LC. Long Covid worsened with multiple bouts of Covid and much worse after spinal surgery to treat my ( probably LC related ) back and leg pain. I will be in Boulder CO this summer if you have any suggestions of MDs within or outside of KP, I would love to try to find someone who will listen.
Thanks,
Gerry

Oh Gerry, what's so troubling is that you are part of the community of docs and are not listened to. You, I'm guessing, would be more knowledgeable than most about your own health and know what to ask and how to delve deeper.
That alone tells us so much about how ignored we all are, or if not ignored, given no encouragement.
I hope you find a doc in Boulder to listen.

I am a retired research scientist (not medicine). I don't know if we can post recommendations here; if not them just PM me. My CV symptoms went away within 8 months and I haven't been back, but my cardiologist was Adam S Betkowski, MD at KP. He was knowledgeable, a good listener and seemed to be more like a research doctor than most. He was also interested in my overall and covid-related health.
