Kari explains why she appreciated her doctor's acknowledgement.
Transcript
The worst thing you can do … with long COVID is to not acknowledge it. Because that just adds to everything, right? Because your stress level and your mind … can make you go into a crash just as much as the physical exertion. So, if you can just … acknowledge that, yes this is real, you’re not losing your mind and how, you know, how can we help you? … like when my doctor sent me to the cardiologist, she said, let’s make sure that there isn’t something physically or structurally wrong with your heart. Let’s make sure that it’s not that, right? And just that acknowledgement. The worst thing that they can do is to just sluff you off and make you feel like it’s not real.
