Third Place
"Treating a Patient"
In this Nov. 3, 2016 photo, lead emergency room doctor Norka Patino treats a man who was shot in Cumana, Sucre state, Venezuela. Patino, who's been working at the hospital for over 20 years, said she has to use the same needle on various patients and that many die unnecessarily of heart attacks, diarrhea, asthma and from bacterias picked up at the hospital. The band on her arm is the Venezuelan flag accented with a black band to protest her hospital's lack of basic supplies.
