COVID presented many different challenges to the health care industry, including equipment shortages, treatment challenges, and staffing concerns. One challenge that no one was prepared for was the long-term health problems that many people have faced in the wake of COVID. Doctors are seeing symptoms last weeks, months, and even years after the virus should be long gone.

"In medical school, we didn't have long COVID obviously," said Nathan Rabinovitch, Director of the Pediatric Care Unit at National Jewish Health.

Doctors across the country are learning how to treat and define long COVID in real-time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines long COVID as a wide range of new, returning and ongoing health problems occurring more than 4 weeks after someone's initial bout with the virus.

At National Jewish Health, Rabinovitch has set aside a whole floor for long COVID in the pediatric unit. Patients come from all over the country to get treated on that floor.

"All the kids on this floor have a behavioral therapist. They get rehabbed. They get physical therapy, and they get seen by multiple physicians, and that's what you have to have. You need a quarterback and multiple specialists," Rabinovitch explained.

So what they're saying is they have multiple "specialists" who are making guesses and not making any progress, but are undoubtedly making enough money to upgrade their private airplanes from a Bonanza to a TBM or Pilatus, while maybe providing some symptom relief.  Yay doctors!  Anyone doing anything on developing, oh, IDK, maybe a broad spectrum anti-viral?

Hmm, at least the doctors are taking a shot at what could be causing the long term issues.

Just go home. If you start dying go to ER

(What I was told until I found a new doctor who got me ivermectin and HCQ)

Only the completely blind and the big brains are confused.
