Richard’s Answer

I can work as a radiologist. In fact with home reading stations, my partners and I are preparing for possible 2-week quarantines. We can provide image interpretations from our PACS station at home even if infected with coronavirus.

What kind of sick? Contagious? Mind altering? Physically limiting? All of these factors I would think could make your goal more difficult. However, don’t let anyone discourage you! You want it? Go for it!

Cindy’s Answer

Depending on how sick you are- if it's just a cold then it's recommended that you wear a surgical mask when seeing patients and washing your hands thoroughly throughout the day. Use your best judgement and be prepared with cough drops or whatever else you may need.
