National Doctor’s Day is observed to honor physicians for their contributions to the society. This day makes a great time to thank the doctors for their services in keeping all of us healthy.

History of National Doctor’s Day

It was first observed way back in March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia and was started by Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a prominent Georgian doctor, who wanted to create a day just for honoring doctors. Greeting cards were mailed out to the doctors and red carnation flowers were placed on the graves of deceased physicians and even today, red carnation flowers make a great gift on Doctor’s Day. March 30th was selected as Doctor’s Day because it was on this day that Dr. Crawford W. Long used an ether anesthetic for the first time during surgery in 1842. It became a National holiday in 1991.
