A doctor friend of mine reminded me of the significance of Doctor's Day. Doctors day in India is celebrated on 1 July, it is the birthday of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. Some fascinating facts about this legendary doctor, he had both MRCP and FRCS degrees, that made him a highly qualified physician and a surgeon. He was also the Chief Minister of West Bengal for 14 years and was a leader with great vision. Dr BC Roy was honoured by the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna on 4 Feb 1961.
Well, there could be several reasons for its celebration. A large population of India depends on the efficiency and responsibility of doctors. It is celebrated as a mark of respect for all those doctors who have relentlessly made efforts to sustain the life of their patients against all odds.
