China’s Exhausted Pediatricians | Caixin
Xia Weicong, Cai Yingli—Caixin
The number of pediatricians in China can’t keep up with the overwhelming demand for pediatric care. Overworked and underpaid, doctors and nurses in pediatrics departments are often exhausted. Caixin photographers Xia Weicong and Cai Yingli followed a pediatrician named Li Long and a nurse named Ju Wenqian, documenting their long workday. In the photos, we get to see not only their challenging work conditions, but also how the subjects cope with their physically and mentally demanding jobs.
