Withdraw from interview or go?

I will preface this with I am on anti psychotic medication to help stabilise my bipolar disorder and that puts me at risk of heat vulnerability because your temperature can rise very quickly.

I have an interview on Monday and where it is, is slap bang in the middle of the red heat warning at 12pm. I've asked if it can be done via zoom but they've said they've not had any advice to say that they should change their plans to interview face to face so have declined my request.

Would you pull out and chalk it up to experience or go and risk it? I would like the job but I also like my current job.

It feels like this is setting a precedent, come out I. A red warning for heat because we don't change what we do for anyone. For what it's worth that trust suspended surgery recently because of the heat.

It's a health care position if that makes a difference

I'm on 800mg of Quetiapine/day. Had no idea about the temp thing! Don't think I'm affected though.

If they couldn't change the method of the interview, I think they could have offered to change the date.
You have asked for a reasonable adjustment and they have declined it and that would be very telling for me.
