National Doctors’ Day is held every March 30. According to DoctorsDay.org, "It is a day to celebrate the contribution of physicians who serve our country by caring for its' citizens." The first Doctor's Day was observed on March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia, when Eudora Brown Almond - wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond - decided to set a day aside to honor physicians. In 1990, the House and Senate officially declared March 30 "National Doctor's Day." Traditionally, people celebrate the day by going out of their way to thank their doctors, mail greeting cards, and sending flowers. The red carnation is commonly associated with the National Doctor's Day.

Doctors want respect too Far beyond the white-coated glamour of TV’s primetime medical shows, the real nitty gritty of being a primary care doctor means dealing with pain and suffering, financial pressure, and the downright messiness of the human body. By presidential proclamation, March 30 is National Doctor’s Day, and in honor of the occasion, here are some observations from doctors and some ways to work together with them for better patient care. According to a March 2011 Consumers Reports survey of 660 primary care physicians, the biggest obstacle to patient care is inconsistency. When patients jump from doctor to doctor, their case histories don’t always follow them and the trail and connectivity of symptoms is lost. Seventy-six percent of doctors said fostering a long-term relationship between them and their patients would greatly improve
courteous to doctors would likely lead to more reciprocity in that department. Calling your doctor by their title and last name and allowing them to address you by yours is a good start. Taking care to wash properly before an appointment involving a physical exam is another important gesture. Being prepared for an appointment is helpful too: bring a list of symptoms, medications, and questions to ask.
their ability to provide excellent care. Sixty percent of those surveyed reported that being respectful and
In the context of providing the best care possible, other pet peeves that doctors expressed were patients not taking medications as directed, patients bringing in their own indiscriminate online research, and the burden of insurance paperwork. The next time you see your doctor, keep a few of these things in mind and you might see better results!
