Now "specialists" talk about the traces that remain in COVID19 patients



As time goes by, information is added that is not encouraging and that is far from offering positive alternatives for people who leave hospitals after defeating the Coronavirus.
Now there is talk of the footprints that patients discharged from hospitals take home.

Hundreds of thousands of severely ill coronavirus patients who survive and are discharged from hospitals are facing a new and complicated challenge: recovery. Many are struggling to overcome a variety of disturbing residual symptoms, and some problems could linger for months, years, or even the rest of their lives.

Patients who have returned home after being hospitalized for severe respiratory failure from the virus are dealing with physical, neurological, cognitive and emotional problems.

In addition, they must live their recovery process while the pandemic continues, with all the stress and the shortage of resources that it has caused.

 Patients may still leave the hospital with scars, injuries, or inflammation in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, or other organs that have not finished healing. This can cause various problems such as metabolic and urinary complications, among others.

Zijian Chen, medical director of the new Post-COVID-19 Care Center of the Monte Sinai Health System, commented that the most important physical problem seen in the center was difficulty in breathing, which may be due to damage to the lungs or heart, or a clotting problem.
