Happy Doctor’s Day
July 1st 2023.
Being a doctor and making decisions
that might as well be life or death for
their patients is undeniably one of the most challenging professions in the
world today. Not every doctor out
there gets the big bucks like how the stereotypes suggest.
So why become a doctor? Because a doctor’s profession is all about the service they offer to their patients for their well-being and pain relief.
Being a doctor should be an honour to anyone, not regret, as most doctors have felt in recent times during the COVID-19 pandemic breakout. Several countries celebrate these real-life heroes on National Doctors’ Day to recognise their contributions to individuals and communities in society. Likewise, India celebrates these real-life white coat heroes on July 1 every year to thank them for their service to humankind.

History
India is the birthplace of one of the oldest medicinal practices. In fact, Sushruta, an 8th century BC Indian physician, is considered the “founding father of surgery.” So it is no surprise that India is home to some of the world’s most skilled and efficient doctors. Indira Hinduja, Kamini A Rao, Devi Shetty, AGK Gokhale, Upendranath Brahmachari, etc., are some of the most well-known physicians in India. One such unforgettable doctor of India was Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.
