May 1
May 1 is “National Physicians’ Day”. An opportunity to recognize the extraordinary people who serve in the profession of medicine.
The pandemic presented the most difficult of circumstances for those who have dedicated their lives to the health and well-being of others. The challenges mounted, the resources reduced and criticism grew towards all those who provide care when we are most vulnerable.
We’ve faced a growing mental health epidemic the last two years (specifically) with doctors, nurses and their allied health care professionals facing the reality of the crisis each day – often impacting their own mental health which goes largely unnoticed.
To all the physicians who have been there for me, my family, friends and community despite the systemic issues, stress and pressure: thank you. You matter.
