Hello, I am sorry to hear of what you have been through with Covid and all the complications.
I understand about living in rural, underserved areas, but what do people do when they need specialized care for cancer, heart or other issues? Do you travel to a medical center, use telemed, or have travelling specialists who visit?
Given the risks of blood clots in pneumonia damaged lungs, if there was ever a time to travel to specialized medical, it would be now. Do you have someone who can help you do this?

In reply to @sueinmn…..when living in a rural, underserved area-I find my only choice is long distance travel (typically a minimum of 4 hr one way) to find specialized care. I have used telehealth for preliminary appts. Those who are unable to pay the costs and have the necessary help to travel do not have any choices. That certainly appears to be the reality of rural living.
