When COVID first began, I became sick and tried to get an appointment to see a doctor. It took 6 months before they finally let me see a doctor in person. By that time, I was diagnosed with pneumonia in one lung, bronchitis in the other one. The end result after 2 rounds of medications and 3 more months, was a partially collapsed lung and scarring in the lung the pneumonia was in. I now have permanent lung damage as a result.
