Doctor’s day, is celebrated on July 1 every year, and is a time for us to celebrate and acknowledge the efforts and achievements of doctors of our country.
First of July is the birth day of Dr B.C Roy, who was born on this day in the year 1882. Dr Roy’s dedication to the practice of this noble profession and his contributions to the field of health as a doctor,politician and administrator are remembered on this day.
Doctor’s Day this pays tribute to Dr.B.C Roy and all doctor’s like him, who spend their lives helping others. The nation has honoured Dr B.C Roy with Bharat Ratna and the B.C Roy National Award instituted in 1976.
All doctors are aware that theirs is a high pressure job where is small professional mistake can lead to disastrous consequence that can affect a patients life and those of his entire family. For doctors, it is is an opportunity to rededicate themselves to their demanding job. Unfortunately, the medical profession to day is witnessing a rapidly deteriorating patient-doctor relationship, with people losing faith in their doctors abilities.
It is true that the medical profession carries a heavy responsibility with it, but people need to realise that the doctor is a normal human being and like everyone else, doctors too need appreciation for their work and efforts. Doctors day is the perfect time for patients to acknowledge their doctor and appreciate their ability to succour and heal
