The Canadian Paediatrician Society just released this.
They psychologize many of the conditions that long covid kids have including POTS, seizures, abdominal pain, etc.
This document is abusive & WILL harm kids. We need better care here in Canada for our kids. Not this.

I’ve anticipated seeing this for the last two years as disability rates from Long Covid have climbed.
I know multiple ppl who were told they had "school avoidance"...turns out lactose intolerance or Celiac disease explained it.
Unless they think children with long covid are capable of Jedi mind tricks to control physical and measurable reactions their recommendations are completely out to lunch with how a human body works.
