The Story Behind Doctor's Day Doctor’s profession is noble. Clad in white apron, he is an angel, clad with green or blue, he is next to god. There is a saying that doctors are very near or same as god in this world. Doctor’s day is a dedication in honor of those people who are committed to save human lives. It iseasy to kill a person but it is difficult to save a human being. On march 30,1933,the first doctors day was observed in Winder,Georgia. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, decided to set aside a day to honour physicians. This first observance included the mailing of greeting cards and placing flowers on graves of deceased doctors. The red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for national doctors’ day. On march 30,1958, a resolution commemorating doctor's day was adopted by the United States house of representatives. In 1990, legislation was introduced in the house and senate to establish a national doctor's day. DOCTOR'S DAY IN INDIA! The doctor's day is celebrated on July 1st across India to honour the legendry physician and the second chief minister of west Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. He was born on July 1,1882 and according to reports and writings in history, he died on the same date in 1962,aged 80 years. Dr Roy was honoured with the country's highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna on February 4, 1961. This observance fulfills a need to show the doctors and physicians in our lives ,how important they are to us and how invaluable their treatments can be. The celebrations are indicative of the respect that they command from patients and thus obligate them to fulfill their responsibilities as well. Doctors can be greeted through wishes of their patients like with sending a greeting cards and flower . Also commemorative dinners can also be arranged by hospitals to felicitate the medical fraternity. SIGNIFICANCE OF DOCTOR'S DAY CELEBRATIONS! There may be several reasons that can be attributed to the significance of this day. The large population of India depends on the efficiency and responsibility of doctors to a large. It may also be seen as an encouragement and an eye opener to all such doctors who have been struck by a flailing career owing to a lack of commitment. The Doctor's Day could be as a mark of respect for all those doctors who have relentlessly made efforts to sustain the life of their patients against all odds.
