📜 The Story Behind Doctors Day
Doctors Day originated in 1933, when medical students in Georgia mailed red carnations—the color representing doctors’ sacrifice—to physicians in honor of their hard work. Later, it was nationally recognized in the U.S. on March 30, commemorating the first use of ether anesthesia during surgery by Dr. Crawford W. Long in 1842. Reagan officially declared it in 1990, and since then, it has been a moment to honor life-saving professionals.
Worldwide, similar observances, such as National Doctors Day in India on July 1, remind us that doctors shape societies with their knowledge and care.
