After receiving the 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine to comply with requirements to work as a healthcare professional, I had lost a significant amount of weight, felt extremely tired, fatigued, unable to concentrate or focus, and had a general decline in cognition. I was suffering from the inability to concentrate for long periods of time, including studying for medical school and working as a scribe/EMT at various locations. I was also preparing for the scholarship program and applying to medical school. When I took my exams on Sept. 11, 2021 I was struggling to stay awake, which has never happened to me before.  I also received the 3rd COVID vaccine by Pfizer at Hospital on 10/14/2021 for my job as a Scribe. I was later hospitalized on 02/14/2022-02/18/2022 for similar symptoms, was given a psychiatric evaluation at the hospital and given medications against my will. This led me to perform poorly on my medical school entrance exams, unable to hold my jobs as an EMT with Urgent care and also with the Fire Department. At the hospital during 02/14/2022-02/18/2022 I was admitted due to suicidal ideation, which I never had, and had suffered from heart palpitations and also mild depression and anxiety likely due to the medications that I was given there. I was given Tylenol and also Bactrim for UTI after having a urinalysis done and having cloudy urine, but I had never exhibited symptoms of UTI. I was given antipsychotic medications including resperidone, which only made my symptoms worse. I was an involuntary psychiatric patient due to a miscommunication with my twin sister who had brought me to the hospital later in the evening on 02/14/2022 after she told the physicians that the past few months I was exhibiting bizarre behavior when in fact I was working as a virtual scribe from home. I typically am very motivated and passionate about everything I do. I was never suicidal, only extremely fatigued and dizzy from cleaning our apartment earlier in the day. The outcome was that I lost my job and was unable to carry out essential tasks for working as an EMT with the Fire Department when I was hired to start on November 22, 2021. I had also missed an important exam that I was scheduled to take during the time I was hospitalized against my wishes. This entire experience has also led me a loss of income due to the inability to perform optimally for my medical school studies and work as a graduate student while preparing for applying to the scholarship program for medical school.
