Bit of a long shot but here goes.
I currently work in a hospital setting (clinical). I am 32 weeks pregnant and have never been off sick or anything in the 5 years I've worked there.
A bit of relevant info to this post is 1 part of my job is to assist in putting cameras down people's throats. Last week I contracted covid and had a preterm Labour scare and was prepped for surgery to bring baby early because I was really poorly but I have recovered and feel OK. I am now terrified of doing these procedures incase it happens again, I know this is probably rare but the anxiety is still there as no patients are tested for covid or screened, I understand not everyone wears masks while shopping etc but I am not stood right next to them while being coughed on etc. My question is if I refuse to do these procedures can I be sacked? I don't want to refuse my job and there is other things I can be doing but I don't feel like it's safe? AIBU to ask to be taken out the room while these are being performed (replaced by another member of staff) I have 9 shifts left before my maternity starts. Thanks for reading this far.
