I haven't been able to find the right words and articulate myself properly in speech. It is becoming really embarrassing. I think it could be long COVID because before I had COVID, I didn't have as much difficulty with words. The cogs were still turning before then, even if not amazingly, and my declining cognitive tempo is making me feel terrible about myself. I'm seeing the GP in a few days, and so I shall ask about doing a sleep study.
I overheard a bunch of med students today talking about how financially abundant they're going to be eventually and they're in it to make their parents happy, not because they care about helping people. They might turn out to be good doctors, but the training seems so fucked to the point where these people are getting their souls sucked out of them before consultancy.
