This study aims to discuss about the labor context of health professionals in Brazil, through a literature review. The idea is to draw attention to aspects that are most impacting on workers' health. The results revealed an inadequate work rate for times of rest, especially in the case of doctors and nurses. These professionals when in shifts, end up sleeping poorly and / or feeding insufficiently. Also working hard and with incompatible remuneration. These findings contrast with the need to meet social representations that populate the imagination of these professional categories. It was not intended here, to exhaust this topic or cover all health professions.
