Episode 2: The Long Covid Data Queen
Dr. Elaine Maxwell reads research papers all day, everyday, for us. Friends and colleagues tip her off if an obscure medical trial has any link to her work on the newly emerging Long Covid syndrome which is currently affecting up to a million people in the UK. This number will almost certainly rise in the months to come as the post Covid waves yield their offspring. Dismissing the scepticism with which many sufferers have been treated as they present with to their G.P.’s with debilitating symptoms, Dr Maxwell headlines that the women who form the majority of this cohort are indeed not hysterical and need to be heard. It is a very real and life changing illness.
