A recent survey indicated that 95% of the doctors and the healthcare staff was aware that if they worked while infectious, patients (especially the ones with compromised immunity) might catch their infection. However, 83% of them also admitted that their responsibilities like treating the patients, keeping up with surgery schedules, and administrative compulsions made them come to work In short, It could be a problem if you do not come to work, but it also could be a problem if you do come to work!
Do you, as a doctor have the liberty to prioritize your health and announce the sick leave?
