National Doctors Day : A day to acknowledge and appreciate the hardwork of Doctors!

A Doctor has the power to heal a patient. Revered by the patients and often held on a pedestal, in my humble opinion, one day is not enough to thank them for all that they do!


Celebrated on 1st July each year in honour of Dr. BC Roy’s birthday, a distinguished Indian doctor, National Doctors Day is also a day that aims to bring all medical professional closer and make them more aware of their responsibilities.


This year’s theme for Doctors Day is “Zero tolerance to violence against Doctors and clinical establishment.”


Violence is never the answer to anything. Both the patients and the Doctors need to act responsibly and empathetically towards each other.


I have seen Doctors that are selfless, hardworking and concerned. They take their oath to cure seriously and it shows in the fame and love they get.


Often times, while the Doctor is a responsible one his staff is untrained, rude and unsympathetic towards the patients who have come for a consultation. This leads to ill-will, discontent and sometimes serious complications to the health of the ailing patient. 


On this day, I urge the Doctors everywhere to keep helpers who are empathetic, kind, professional and helping.


Doctors and medical staff are the people we look up to cure us and they work round the clock to help patients. 


I wish all the Doctors and medical professionals a very Happy Doctors Day and thank them for all that they do for us!
