Summary

They were hospitalised with COVID and long COVID left them unable to return to their career, their specialist said. They tried every treatment going, including hyperbaric oxygen, six months of hospital rehabilitation and a six-person allied health team, but nothing worked. A career-coach program paid for by their insurer eased their anxiety. They were still ill in 2026 and had been approved for disability insurance.
