About this comic

This is not a positive story. I want to criticize the stressful working environment of nurses in China. There is no freedom and no human rights. The nurses are at the bottom of the medical society. Pandering to supervisors has turned out to be the strongest survival skill. This environment is sickening, and I want more people to know about it, for the government to pay attention so we can create a better environment together. Criticism is the best impetus for growth.

这并不是一个积极正能量的故事,我想批判国内护士工作环境的压抑,没有自由,没有人权,护士处在医疗环境的最底端。对领导溜须拍马竟然成为生存的最强的技能。这种病态的环境让人难过。我想让更多的人了解这社会。我们一起改变这样的环境,让国家重视这个问题,然后一起改变,来创造更好的社会环境,我始终相信批判是为了更好的成长。
