Hi all,

I've been advising a person (alcoholic, sober for 6 years) who has cirrhosis of the liver. They work for a large medical system in a non-patient contact job. The employer has advised changes are coming. The job will now involve one week per month, working on inpatient floors. They would like to avoid getting that close to patients, due to being immunocompromised because of the cirrhosis diagnosis.

The "problem" is that the person is very functional and "healthy" now. Most of the questions on the form relate to functional activities, which are not limited now. The primary concern is exposure to infections (especially Covid!). I wondered if you have seen accommodations related only to being immunocompromised.

I would be interested in hearing about your experiences.

Thanks!
