CATS Project

COVID-19 and Trust in Science (CATS) Project seeks to document the experience of Long COVID patients as they navigate recovery.

[CATS Project @CATSprojectCU]

Our first study based off of our online survey of #LongCovid patients last Fall is now published.

We document the language of gaslighting used to describe experiences of dismissal from doctors, prolonged diagnostic odysseys, and the lack of treatment.

NBC News: 'Long Covid patients face medical debt after insurance denies claims'

Fascinating article on rural health and #LongCovid: "Perspectives on the Long of COVID: From Doomscrolling to Rural Management Strategies" in The Rural Monitor

Cites our work on Long Covid and difficulties in establishing a diagnosis!

The gaslighting rhetoric that Long Covid patients mobilize is a form of “ontological politics" -- Patients contest the ontological status assigned to their symptoms and elevate individual troubles into collective contention. https://t.co/RiTV3EeD1E

[Work in Progress @WIPsociology]

Long Covid patients accuse their doctors of gaslighting, saying doctors deny their version of reality and ignore their symptoms and complaints, attributing the symptoms to anxiety or outright malingering and doing little to help alleviate their suffering. https://t.co/ZHV5AGzEvV
