“I was in quarantine for the last 28 days. It was the worst experience of my life.
My parents moved me to the basement. We were really lucky to have that, but it was a nightmare being locked in a room. I’m extroverted and I need people. I was losing it. I was anxious all the time. And then you start to feel guilty because my brother has asthma. All I kept thinking was I can’t believe I brought this home. I didn’t start feeling better until four days ago – like four days towards the end of the 28 days of quarantine. Wow.
Today is my first day back. I feel like it’s a totally different department. I don’t know where anything is.
Let me tell you how my morning started. I was in the wrong zone of the emergency department for an hour. My colleague asked, ‘What are you doing here?’ I was working in the wrong section – all the zones had different names. My friend then showed me around, and I was like, ‘What is going on?’
I was asking questions about if anything’s changed, and people said no. Meanwhile, they don’t remember I haven’t been here for a month.”
