I am a respiratory therapist and a sleep specialist. I no longer do bedside therapy at a hospital, I currently work in a clinic and do home sleep studies or I talk to patients in a hospital about possibly having Sleep Apnea.
My job seems like it may be eliminated in the near future. If that happens, I don't think I can physically or mentally handle being a bedside respiratory therapist at a hospital again because of my MS (which admittedly is fairly mild compared to some other people).
I am about to start a DMT for the MS (new doctor I saw last week is just waiting on blood work before we start). I am concerned that if I HAVE to do bedside therapy again, I won't be able to because my immune system will be compromised?
Is anyone on here in Healthcare? Can you share experience with your job and being on immunosupressant therapy? I feel like there is a lot of uncertainty right now.
