“It seems that there are repercussions on the impossibility of some people not to wear masks because they develop a chronic headache and, for that, they use the law … It is giving a good repercussion. Many people are identifying with the same problem. People wonder: why do so many people have headaches? Is it a common pathology? Yes. Wearing a mask is a common pathology, “said the doctor on Instagram.

Sergio Marcussi also said that he does not “distribute certificates”, but grants it later query through patient reports. Therefore, it is only “comply with the law”.

“If my patient comes to my office and tells me they have a headache, panic, anxiety, acne, or any other (illness), it is not for me, as a doctor, to discuss the patient’s feelings. If the patient tells me that he has pain, I have to accept the patient’s pain, ”he said.
