I’ve sought healthcare from various providers, and noticed that they usually offer half hour appointment times. That is not nearly enough time to discuss a complex chronic condition. That’s not enough time to discuss most health concerns, in my opinion.
I think major healthcare companies are trying to cut costs and cram in as many appointments as possible in a day, but I don’t think that’s an effective approach to delivering quality care.
I sent one primary care physician a comprehensive summary of my experience with Long Covid so far. I included my symptoms, medications I’ve already tried, and medications I’m interested in trying. I also included lab work and x-ray information, as well as vaccine info.
Hopefully that will make my next appointment much less stressful for me and the doctor. If I hadn’t sent a written summary, we would probably spend half an hour just discussing my symptoms and previous healthcare experiences.
