My experience has been, with all of the dozen or so doctors that I have seen in trying to get help for all of my symptoms (which have only finally been diagnosed as long covid by a rheumatologist), is that they don’t want to be problem solvers. They only want patients who have a neat and clean problems to fix, they don’t want to have to think outside of the box or expend the extra time and energy to help a patient figure something out. I also think some see it as a blow to their ego. It’s much easier, and likely more profitable, for them to prescribe meds instead and hope you go away. I have not been to Mayo Clinic, but this has been my experience with all of the doctors I’ve seen in WA State. I definitely think more research and studies are needed to understand how long covid and the vaccine are affecting people. However, I don’t think a more nefarious reason exists or is needed to explain why regular doctors don’t want to deal with long covid patients—we’re too much work.
