Moral injury and injustice are causing an exacerbation of the already significant burnout in health-care workers. About 80 per cent of patients admitted to hospital are unvaccinated.

Our hospitals are overwhelmed and vaccination has become a political and personal issue for many. We are now facing the fourth wave of COVID in Alberta. Through this project, I have reconnected with the purpose and privilege of being a physician and I moved to a place of optimism and pride for how we are providing care for those in our community. I have captured images that are simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming and that show the paradox of caring for people during times of tragedy. It was through my camera lens that I was able to slow down and observe the shared human experience of the pandemic: tragedy and vulnerability kindness and compassion laughter and tears teamwork and resilience. My husband, also an emergency physician, and I struggled to find the balance between protecting our children, staying safe, and planning for the worst-case scenario at work.

As an emergency physician, wife, and mother, early in the pandemic I felt an overwhelming sense of uncertainty and apprehension.
