‘Happy Day to all the doctors who always put their patients first and do their best to gift them health.

As a way of recognizing their efforts, Indian Medical Association (IMA) observed the first National Doctors day in July 1991. In India, this day also marks the birth and death anniversary of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy who was one of the most renowned physicians in the country.

This year, the day seeks to thank all and medical professionals for their service against the fight against the corona virus pandemic.

There’s no better time than now to take a minute to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of all the doctors of the AMI family, as also, in every corner of this world. You are more than just a doctor, you are friend and guide too.

Traditionally, doctors don’t have to risk their own lives to save others. But that’s what it has come to today – doctors, nurses, and paramedics are all on the frontline of a war against COVID-19. Fighting the battle against an enemy that can’t even be seen by the naked eye, so that we can stay safe at home.

Many paramedics and nurses are coming out of retirement to join this fight as well.

Let’s celebrate the heroes!

It is your deeds that make us feel proud. It is great to have a doctor in the family.

The High: Due to the lockdowns and limited clinical work in the hospitals for the non-covid care providing , during this pandemic, I found plenty of time to enhance my scientific Research and Publication work in 2020 and 2021. I was awarded the Asia Book Record for publishing the maximum research papers. I wrote 165 articles in one year (2020) and got 106 of these published  in several peer-reviewed International and National medical journals. (https://www.asiabookofrecords.com/maximum-medical-research-papers-written-record-by-an-individual-in-a-year/).

The Low: I was struck down by COVID during the peak of the first wave of it, on 1st November 2020, and needed to be hospitalized briefly. Fortunately, I came out of it without any problems. During my illness, I realized that this viral infection causes severe weakness and mood changes, apart from other symptoms like fever, cough, breathing difficulties, loss of smell and taste, etc. One may get weird and negative thoughts during the self-isolation during this illness, and hence need to be always positive in these challenging times.

I penned down my experiences of the illness in a medical journal. (https://ijmsweb.com/a-fight-with-sars-cov-2-infection-covid-19-experience-of-an-orthopedic-surgeon/).

Message: It is expected that the children may also be affected by the Coronavirus in the 'third wave' of it. Hence, it is crucial that you all should try to prevent this infection, by maintaining social distancing, wearing masks properly, and by frequent hand sanitation.
