Doctor's Day




JULY 1 is celebrated as National Doctor's Day in India. It is the birth and death anniversary of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.

 He was a physician, a freedom fighter, and also the Chief Minister of West Bengal. He was the founder of many esteemed organizations and institutions in India, like the IMA & MCI. On this day, doctors are honored and remembered for their services, dedication, and sacrifices they make for the community.

As it is said, not all heroes wear capes; some wear white coats. Lakhs of students pass out as doctors to heal others within their abilities.

Now, to my personal journey, there are many doctors in my family, including my brother, husband, sisters in law,  and cousins, etc. I too studied to become a dentist, but didn't pursue my career due to familial responsibilities and my interest being in other areas like writing and teaching.


Diary of a doctor's wife-

When we got married, both of us were students and hence had the stress of studies in the beginning years.
Being a spouse of a doctor meant keeping up with tight schedules, calls at different times, and being busy always. A dedicated doctor is busy most of the time, and it requires a lot of patience. Once you get a doctor title, it is not only during scheduled times in the clinic or hospital that you work, casualities, illnesses happen all around, and you will have to intervene. It is not a job done mechanically, but you have to be empathetic to your patients, be a friend, a trustee, a support for bystanders, etc. Sometimes you will have to share critical news, overlook deaths, etc. Your knowledge, too has to be updated regarding the new illnesses, medicines,etc.





It is indeed a sad fact that all over the world, Doctors are also victims of physical and verbal abuse, many times for something they didn't do.

Hats off to all the wonderful,  dedicated Doctors around the world.

May the Lord grant you all success and the ability to heal more.. Ameen
