  • If you want to see Max Pensel for treatment, you need a lot of patience: About 400 people are on the waiting list to see the doctor at the hospital and outpatient clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University Hospital Bonn.
  • All of them are suffering the long-term effects of a coronavirus infection and want an appointment in the newly established clinic for long COVID or post COVID sufferers in the western German city as soon as possible.
  • Max Pensel is also seeing an increasing number of patients for an initial consultation who suffer from what is known as a post-vac syndrome: young, often athletic people who develop long-lasting symptoms after receiving a COVID vaccination.
