National Doctor's Day Today
Published: Monday, March 30, 2009
In 1990, President George Bush signed a resolution designating March 30 as National Doctor's Day. According to the American Medical Association, Doctor’s Day was first observed in 1933 as a local celebration in Barrow County, Georgia, to commemorate the date on which Crawford W. Long, M.D., administered the first ether anesthetic for surgery (March 30, 1842).
"By choice or by chance, each of us may find that because of a caring physician, our lives have been profoundly improved," said the late AMA President, Ronald M. Davis, M.D. "National Doctor's Day is an opportunity to recognize these physicians - the ones who have helped us when we were sick, the ones who have delivered our children and the ones who have helped us remain healthy through immunizations, screenings and other means."
Thank you to ALL of our doctors.
