Summary
A medically trained Reddit user, posting in a long-COVID forum, described how the thought of never working in their field again broke them. Their doctor prescribed Ritalin, which they said made a massive difference, and they urged the person they replied to, if their doctor dismisses them, to keep asking or find a new doctor.
