POTS explanation too woke ?

at my (*dental*) appointment today, dentist notes POTS in my chart & asks “why am I hearing so much about that lately?” I don’t think he really wants an answer but I say “COVID 😐” he then says (condescendingly) “so you had COVID?”

BROTHER ALL OF US HAVE HAD COVID 😩 sorry the super contagious, mass-disabling virus is not a plausible enough explanation for you
