A Wake-up Call About COVID and Vaccinations

You're going to see three kinds of patients in your practice: those who had COVID, those who were vaccinated, and those who are declining the vaccine. You need to be ready to help all of them.

Show Notes

We need a wakeup call on healthcare. Thousands continue to die from opioid overdoses while COVID long haulers and vaccine reactions drive even more prescriptions. It is time to learn some lessons from this past year, or all the discomfort and the death and the misery that we have gone through is worth nothing.

In this episode Dr. Rountree shares personal experiences regarding the COVID vaccine, but also digs into  recent scientific studies detailing the effectiveness of light therapy for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
