[QUOTE="Cdean8780, post: 2338329, member: 378849"] Update. I returned to work and was moved to similar job and I chose to move away from main hospital to a unit not physically connected to main hospital and which hasn't had many covid cases. I have been happy doing this and I am mentally OK now I think I researched to much around the first lockdown and mentally broke myself. Occupational health have screened me, they pushed for a risk assessment. Think they're opinion was for me to work on corridors but there's not just me vulnerable and we can't all go onto it and besides I am happy with where i am etc. Risk assessment was done basically not to work on a covid area or where a case is. My main problem has been people I have had to work with attitudes. Not only to diabetes but to diabetes and covid etc. And of course due to nature of my redeployment there is no official job so I get attitudes that I shouldn't be sown there I redeployed in the end to safer environment, similar job and safer location. Only problem has been my peers attitudes I have constantly had to justify myself, why I'm there, why I'm vulnerable to covid which not all believe cos its not cancer or shielded letter. Been told there's no hours down there so I shouldn't be there. Which type am I (all diabetes is vulnerable they think type 2 isn't and is nothing) Been going good but 2 out of 4 areas down here I've been told not to go on now due to my risk assessment. One of these areas a fellow diabetic has been moved off and told same(he had a permanent job on it). I get questioned why I can't go on it and get told I can by my peers. Management have said not so I don't why would I take the other guys place anyway [/QUOTE]
