Another affected remote employee

I am a VA psychiatrist and have been seeing patients for about 5 years. I’m remote and there has never been an issue until now, like everyone else being forced to rto. For me it makes no sense with the commute and childcare, so many logistics.. commute is an extra 3 hours total- it all adds with with gas, childcare etc. I feel so so terrible leaving my vets though. I asked about seeing patients in person but basically my position would remain remote however physically in an office. This is all just heart breaking
