A Message from Dr. McMillan

The phrase "Every unusual pattern is related to COVID" has guided my predictions over the past few years, and time and again, it has proven true. From unexpected disease surges to shifting health trends, the lingering impact of SARS-COV2 continues to shape global health outcomes.

The recent spike in Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) cases in Pune, India is yet another example. Until the medical and scientific community acknowledges the profound effects of this virus, many of these patterns will remain misunderstood, dismissed, or simply ignored.

Unfortunately, there’s little sign that this trajectory will change anytime soon. The question is, how long can we afford to overlook these connections?

Pandemic Aftershock: How COVID-19 May Be Fueling India's Devastating Paralysis Outbreak

• Maharashtra reports 200+ Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) cases with 14 deaths, initially linked to Campylobacter bacteria in contaminated water.

• COVID-19 may be damaging immune systems, making people more vulnerable to autoimmune conditions like GBS.

• Large public gatherings in Pune preceded the outbreak, potentially creating ideal conditions for COVID-19 transmission.

• The "perfect storm" of COVID-19 and endemic infections signals a troubling new pattern in global health.

Why this is important: Hidden beneath India's GBS outbreak lies a dire warning: COVID-19's legacy extends beyond initial infection, potentially triggering cascading autoimmune disasters when combined with endemic pathogens. This paradigm shift demands we reimagine global health monitoring and interventions before similar crises multiply worldwide.

HEALTH

The Healing Power of "I Believe You": Confronting Autoimmune Misdiagnosis

• Some doctors too quickly attribute autoimmune disease symptoms to psychological causes, despite multiple symptoms being common in autoimmunity.

• Autoimmune symptoms are often invisible with no clear tests, leading doctors to describe them as "vague" or "non-specific.

• Empathetic listening and believing patients' experiences can provide crucial diagnostic clues and emotional healing after misdiagnosis.

• Psychosomatic misdiagnoses, while intended to reassure patients, often cause deep, lifelong damage rather than comfort.

Why this is important: Patient trust crumbles when symptoms are dismissed as psychological. By acknowledging autoimmune diseases earlier and listening empathetically, doctors can prevent years of suffering, accelerate proper treatment, and heal the emotional wounds caused by disbelief, transforming medical relationships from adversarial to collaborative.
