I’m a #triplevaxxed surgeon, now sick & isolating with #COVID19. I’m married to a #triplevaxxed rheumatologist MD & mom to 2 kids in Moderna 💉trial, all negative but #quarantining since 3 y/o is blinded to vax status. Wanna know how Hubby’s work is treating him? (A 🧵)

He works for a large private health company, so Families First Coronavirus Response Act /FFCRA doesn’t apply. He is staying home with the exposed kids (kid 2 is 3 yo & still blinded in the trial). His options?
1️⃣Use vacation time
2️⃣Take unpaid leave

He will likely test + in the next few days given the household transmission of #Omicron, and then will STILL either take unpaid leave or use our much-needed vacation time. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Which do we need more? 💵 or ⏱ off? He chose to take unpaid leave because #burnout is REAL. Truthfully, we are fortunate to even be able to make this choice. Many essential workers won’t be able to.

Folks, THIS is the way healthcare workers are treated in 2022.
Please #maskup, #GetVaccinated, #GetTested, and #StaySafe. And give your healthcare workers grace and gratitude; we are fighting an impossible fight.
