Article from BJM: Post-COVID and primary care physician perspective

Yes yes yes. Thank you for putting some of my feelings into perfectly phrased words. I too have pre-Covid medical issues that have been dismissed. Try being fat, female, over fifty and with a decades long history of mental healthcare. I have an M.A. and mad research skills. I read medical journals NOT social media junk info.
I’m post Covid for a couple weeks, something is wrong with my lungs and not a single scan. I am missing work. I hope my appointment tomorrow will lead to some kind of scan. I will insist as gently as possible so that I don’t make the doctor feel afraid I’m a crazy patient he doesn’t want on his service….sigh.

Ask a couple of poignant questions.
1 - Is there anything preventing him/her from providing the appropriate care?
2 - Who would he/she be his/her first choice to further investigate your complaints of lung issues if they were in your condition?
Understand it's going to take months to get into see someone, but you have to push to get treatment now days as there is definitely hesitancy to even investigate Long Covid symptoms.
