Are this many healthcare professionals really this comically stupid? "Oh we had a completely new disease ravage the world population with some known and many unknown long term side affects, but people must be making them up?"
long Covid provisions are set to worsen as the existing Government-funded long Covid clinics are being scaled back and become “optional” for NHS trusts.
We don’t have specialists who have the knowledge or skills to treat patients because there’s no training in it and clinicians don’t have time to keep up with the research.
“If anything, it feels like doors are closing rather than opening for these families and children because the little we had in terms of services are being downscaled. And there is no dedicated research funding. We are wading into this storm blindfolded.”
Almost all movies about human extinction are about it being brought on by some quick and unavoidable event, but if it happens it's really just going to be a slow descent into the pit brought on by completely avoidable circumstances

I’ve spent the last 7 years constantly surrounded by pre-med students in classes and working in a lab. Yes.
The US education system doesn’t select for intelligent people who would be good at the job to be doctors, it selects for people who can memorize facts, and have enough dedication and their parents money to do a bunch of extra work to be competitive.
I have never heard dumber questions that show such a fundamental non-understanding of the material than I have from pre-med students. Nearly universally they required every last detail perfectly spelled out for them or they would fuck up, there was no ability to reason their way through things.
I have no trouble believing that there are a ton of doctors who don’t understand the existence of long covid because it wasn’t taught to them in school

it's not even "don't", it's just "won't"
if they didn't grow up with or encounter it in their "vibes based media curriculum absorbation" it they will simply refuse to understand it
Sums up my experience with doctors and my "invisible illness". Doctors are good for shit thats obvious like, hey that bone shouldn't be sticking through your skin. Beyond that it gets interesting
Yep. If they couldn't see from my 20 year prescription history I'm positive doctors would think I'm making all of my crap up. It's even worse these days since in my experience any of the good eggs got burnt out from our very clearly corrupt and neglectful institutions and the only ones left are the opportunists and shysters.
Disgusting

yes and they often marry it with the kind of arrogance you'd expect from a greek god
