“The toughest and responsible job is to be a doctor.”
Until the pandemic has hit harder, we haven’t released how dicey a doctor’s life could be. When the COVID-19 knocked on our doors, this profession selflessly contributed itself to fight against the pandemic and acted as a warrior to protect humanity dedicatedly. Being in the position to protect and save the lives of their loved ones, they took the bold decision to serve empathy 24*7 during the tough times and stayed eloped from their family to protect us and the nation. This article is a means to thank all the medical fraternity including all the doctors, nurses, drivers and all the helping hands on National Doctor’s Day to remember the sacrifices they made and who remain constant as a pillar of willpower in heart-breaking time.
The National Doctor’s Day was established in 1991, by the Indian government to honour Bidhan Chandra Roy's efforts. He was an influential contributory to the formation of the Indian Medical Association and the Medical Council of India. This day is memorialized to honour the contributions of doctors to the nation's growth.
