Wrong [0]. Yes, it's complex, but doctors also know how to read, and they're honestly better at it (when it comes to medical texts) than you are.
Honestly it's just stupid how many people insist on self diagnosing long COVID. "Beyond the limits of our current medical understanding" is, unfortunately, idiocy. It's the exact same logic anti-vaxxers would use to refuse the vaccine. You're making the exact same mistake.
In general, you do not know more than your doctor. Stop pretending like you do. EVERYONE, both sides, just fucking stop.

- pezo1919 4y agoIf you are researching your chronic illness and contacting many docs you are going to know more from many docs who are experts in the topic then a random doctor who is only following orders and is going to have minimal information 2 years later when knowledge pushed itself through all bureaucracy. Why? Because more doctors who are focusing on the topic weigh more than a random doctor who has no clue.
- desperadovisa 4y agoI don't think you're really appreciating how similar your argument is to that of an anti-vaxxer.
- spfzero 4y agoNot knowing more than your doctor is not the same as your doctor knowing everything. There are so many examples of diseases which are not currently completely understood, after decades of study. It's surprising that you think that's not true.
