Double jeopardy of doctors being too many hours

"FINALLY, the operations are over." A doctor in Huaian, East China's Jiangsu province, shared this sentence on her social network app WeChat having worked continuously for 26 hours. Fawan.com comments:
Within 26 hours, the doctor had carried out 26 gynecological operations. As the photos she shared on social media show, she had been standing for so long that her feet had swollen and she could not wear her shoes.
She deserves praise and respect for her dedication. However, the workload she faces is already too heavy for any normal human being to bear. Working for 26 successive hours could do irreparable harm to a person's health, even cause death.
