While trying to seek emergency care has anybody else experienced complete humiliation and gaslighting from doctors?
It's the absolute worst. I have lost faith in our medical services. Long Covid is a physical disease with physiological issues.
My doctor told me that Covid is just a severe infection, nothing more. This, she said, after hearing that my Dad passed away from Covid. I am still grieving. I did not need that dismissal.
I was sent home from the ER not knowing what I had going on. They said my heart was fine so go home. I had Covid I found out a week later after doing a home test.
I have and it was not fun.
My fiance did. Had to call EMS to come and take him to the hospital as I too tested Positive with it. He was having breathing problems and needed Oxygen and Meds. The head Paramedic acted like a real jerk about it as if we were putting them out. At the hospital, it took them 6 hours for a Doctor to see him and another 4 hours to get him admitted. Now they act as if people should have avoided getting it and you are putting them out if you seek help for it.
