Long COVID and Medicine's Two Cultures

Ralph I Horwitz et al. Am J Med. 2022 Aug.

Abstract

Medicine has separated the two cultures of biological science and social science in research, even though they are intimately connected in the lives of our patients. To understand the cause, progression, and treatment of long COVID , biology and biography, the patient's lived experience, must be studied together.

Keywords: Biosocial medicine; Long COVID; Medical biography; Social determinants of health.
