Meet the NYC docs who go above and beyond on National Doctors’ Day
NY Post
On March 30, National Doctors’ Day, we salute those who care for others, often while risking their own health.
From the first doctor in America to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, to one who became a patient herself, the past year of the pandemic has given plenty of reason to celebrate the heroes who got us through. March 30 is a day set aside to honor the dedicated physicians who care for us. It began in 1933 in Georgia as the brainchild of Dr. Charles B. Almond’s wife, Eudora Brown Almond, who chose the date because on that day in 1842, the first anesthetic for surgery was used. Red carnations are the symbolic flower of choice, but anything that shows your gratitude is appropriate — even just a big “Thank you.”More Related News
