Health Tom comes up against the Ambulance Service's sickness policy: "I do rotating shift work - there is plenty of research that points to this having an effect on your immune system as well as making you much more likely to get various cancers (mostly breast, prostate and colon) and increasing your chance of heart disease. I also have the pleasure of sitting in the back of the ambulance with infectious patients who insist on coughing, sneezing, spluttering and sneezing all over me. "Eat well and do some exercise" was the advice I was given."
