Welcome to Season 6, Episode 19 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into When Expertise Isn’t Enough: A Doctor’s Disability Journey With Long COVID (With Guest Dr. Zeest Khan).
Long COVID has challenged not only medicine, but also the disability insurance system. Insurers often characterize these claims as subjective, difficult to measure, or lacking definitive proof, leaving claimants to navigate a process that can struggle to account for fluctuating symptoms and complex limitations. In this episode, attorney Nancy Cavey speaks with Dr. Zeest Khan, an anesthesiologist whose own experience with long COVID forced her transition from doctor to patient. They discuss how that perspective reshaped her understanding of chronic illness, the realities of pursuing SSDI and Long-Term Disability benefits, the challenges posed by independent medical exams, and why long COVID continues to expose gaps in the way disability claims are evaluated.

One - From Physician to Patient: Identity, Illness, and a New Path
Two - Inside the Disability Maze: LTD, SSDI, and System Gaps
Three - Advocacy and Strategy: Navigating Claims with Long COVID
