Strongly agree. I met a train driver once who told me she was on long term sick leave for her mental health because "something" happened when she was driving. It was clear what she meant, she couldn't even talk about it. She said every time she drove the train after that, she kept thinking it would happen again any second, so she had to get signed off. She said you're alone in the cab for hours with no one to talk to, just your awful thoughts to sit with.
Totally selfish to knowingly choose to traumatise an innocent person that way.
