This is worth a read.

Also a general note just because you know one infectious disease well, don’t associate everything with it. I should have sought care earlier … For those who read to the end. This is my 🐷 trotter.
What should I have been doing this last week instead of resting? I’m finalising the MoH report on the Long COVID Registry. 32-38% of participants are essential workers, 36-40% of these are healthcare professionals. One recommendation will be education! 8/n
I’m still infectious on Day 6 and masking. That ED reg could be infecting other patients as they don’t need to mask with -ve patients. I very much hope they and myself are the 8 in 10 without long term consequences. 7/n
What I can fault is their post-COVID knowledge. The ED reg on their second visit came in without a mask, saying “you’re day 5 I’ll risk it, gives me a couple of days off”. Ignorant that COVID could give them long COVID and give them more than just a couple of days off. 6/n
Admittance on a Friday doesn’t bode well for seeing specialists in the wknd. Especially when the health system is being told to save money. But I have a diagnosis, a treatment plan & a room to myself plus a whole range of infection protocols. I can even see my office. 5/n
A short (but not cheap, $68 thank you) GP phone appt and I’m being sent to ED. I can’t fault the care I’ve had from the helper at the door where I was dropped to the many nurses and specialists I’ve seen. 4/n
Day 3 I tried to get a GP telephone appt, problem was Day 4 was ANZAC Day, a public holiday to commemorate our war heroes. including my granddad who was in Gallipoli. These are his medals. That day after a feverish night I felt better but my rash was looking worse. 3/n
I’d read (and indeed wrote) public health advice. So I knew to isolate, rest and recover to decrease the risk of long COVID. I put the rash on my lower leg down to COVID rash - a known rare symptom. phcc.org.nz/briefing/long-… 2/n
