On this episode of the podcast I am honoured to have a guest, Dr Wes Ely MD, MPH.
Dr Ely is an internist, pulmonologist and critical care physician in Nashville.
Dr Ely advocates for patients with Long Covid, he is the author of a book, Every deep drawn breath; 100% of the proceeds from this book Dr Ely donates to support ICU and covid survivors and their families rebuild their lives.
In this episode Dr Ely and I discuss holistic patient care, gaslighting and validating those with Long Covid as this is a medical condition/disability and not psychosomatic.
Dr Ely explains how the brain is effected and how damage/injury is caused, we discuss the difference between brain injury and brain fog.
Dr Ely has produced some impacting Tik Tok videos describing the physiology and impact of Long Covid, while appealing to other medical professionals to listen to and treat their patients effectively. Dr Ely social media contacts can be found below.
I hope you enjoy this episode, as always take care.
