#LongCovid Doctor Fallacies:
1) LC is just prolonged recovery. Someone can't have problems emerge months afterwards
2) Because basic blood tests/scans are unremarkable, nothing is wrong
3) Because someone is anxious about their symptoms, anxiety must be causing their symptoms
4) Because someone had an unremarkable scan 2 months post Covid, there's no need for another scan down the line
5) Because someone can talk coherently on the phone, they must actually be fine.
6) Because someone looks fine, they must actually be fine.
7) Because someone's been to A&D 8 times, they must be a malingerer
8) Because someone can read, they must not be having any problems with their vision, despite them saying they are
9) Because other Covid patients have recovered anyone not recovered (& not dead) hasn't had Covid
10) Because you had a negative Covid antibody test, you must not have had Covid...despite you never really being unwell before & having had all the symptoms of Covid at a time where a large proportion of the population had Covid in the middle of a global pandemic
