“…Under these structural conditions is where the doctors, interviewed at the hospitals that we studied, work. The pandemic affects preexisting social and job relations, not just rendering visible but also maximizing some of the gaps, such as dependence on residents to be able to function due to scarcity of personnel, increased now due to covid-19 leave, and this, linked to job subordination at the workplace, may have repercussions on their health (Gaona et al, 2018) ies underscore how having greater or lesser job experience, in similar scenarios such as SARS or covid-19, influences the risk of developing problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder due to exposure at the jobsite (Lancee et al, 2008;Lai et al, 2020), which from the anthropological perspective we can consider to be vulnerability caused by structural or social and political processes (Padoveze et al, 2019). Under these structural conditions, the greater or lesser perception of risk of infection held by doctors is influenced by the following social and cultural processes: a) the closeness of age and comorbidities characteristics of at-risk groups b) the type of medical specialization and information and training received, c) the temporary nature of the pandemic and spaces of greater or lesser exposure, d) the PPE and protocols adapted, e) having or not had covid-19.…”
