Here comes the Doctor's Day again on July 1. Should it pass off as another day? Or should we do something for a professional, who sacrifices his sleep, sometimes his family life for the sake of his patients?
Doctor's Day is observed in commemmoration of the birth anniversary of eminent physicians and patriot Dr.B.C. Roy . July 1st happens to be the birthday of a famous Indian physician Dr.B.C.Roy who was born and also passed away on this day.
He excelled not only as a physician, educationist, but also even as a freedom fighter, joining Mahatma Gandhi in the Civil Disobedience Movement.
Dr. Roy's dedication to the uplift of the poor led him to the political arena, where he first became leader of Indian National Congress and later Chief Minister of West Bengal.
Doctor's Day hence is a day to pay tribute to Dr. B.C.Roy and all doctor's like him, who spend their lives helping others. The nation honoured Dr. Roy with the Bharat Ratna.
Unlike in India, Doctor's Day is celebrated on March 30 in the U.S.A. The resolution designating March 30 as National Doctor's Day was signed by President George Bush.
What elevates them to the states of demigod is their unstinted commitment to provide health care to patients at all times , irrespective of caste or creed.
On this day, try to make your Doctor's Day a special one. Visit your doctor, give him/ her flowers or just say a simple heart-felt 'Thank you' . It will certainly brighten up their day and make them feel respected and appreciated. Happy Doctor's Day!
