National Doctors’ Day is held everyMarch 30. According to

DoctorsDay.org, "It is a day tocelebrate the contribution of

physicians who serve our countryby caring for its' citizens."

The first Doctor's Day was observedon March 30, 1933 in Winder,Georgia, when Eudora BrownAlmond - wife of Dr. Charles B.

Almond - decided to set a day asideto honor physicians. In 1990, the

House and Senate officially declaredMarch 30 "National Doctor's Day."

Traditionally, people celebrate theday by going out of their way tothank their doctors, mail greeting

cards, and sending flowers. The redcarnation is commonly associatedwith the National Doctor's Day.

Thanks for alwaystaking the time to care

Far beyond the white-coated glam-our of TV’s primetime

medical shows, the real nitty grittyof being a primary care doctor

means dealing with pain and suf-fering, financial pressure, and thedownright messiness of the humanbody. By presidential proclamation,March 30 is National Doctor’s Day,and in honor of the occasion, hereare some observations from doc-tors and some ways to work to-

gether with them for better patientcare.

According to a March 2011 Con-sumers Reports survey of 660primary care physicians, the

biggest obstacle to patient care isinconsistency. When patients jumpfrom doctor to doctor, their casehistories don’t always follow them

and the trail andconnectivity of symptoms is lost.Seventy-six percent of doctors said

fostering a long-termrelationship between them and

their patients would greatly improve

their ability to provide excellentcare.

Sixty percent of those surveyed re-ported that being respectful and

courteous to doctors would likelylead to more reciprocity in thatdepartment. Calling your doctorby their title and last name and

allowing them toaddress you by yours is a goodstart. Taking care to wash prop-erly before an appointment in-

volving a physical exam isanother important gesture. Beingprepared for an appointment ishelpful too: bring a list of symp-

toms, medications, andquestions to ask.

In the context of providing thebest care possible, other petpeeves that doctors expressed

were patients not takingmedications as directed, patients

bringing in their ownindiscriminate online research,and the burden of insurance

paperwork. The next time you seeyour doctor, keep a few of thesethings in mind and you might see

better results!

Doctors want respect too
