Stanford Medcast Episode 30: COVID-19 Mini-series: The Uncertain Prognosis: Long Covid Stories

This episode provides insight on the impact of Long COVID from the patient’s perspective. Two patients share their stories of living with Long COVID and living with an uncertain diagnosis. Long COVID has been classified as a range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19; symptoms can even appear weeks after infection. Long COVID can happen to anyone who has had COVID-19, even if their illness was mild, or if they had no symptoms.
