“This is a normal working day for me. I think most of us don’t even remember that it’s Doctors Day. If there is a surgery on the day, then there’s no way I can attend any function as I am very tired. If a patient remembers and wishes me, I am/will be pleasantly surprised.”

Dr Apratim Goel

“Doctors Day is usually a normal day of work. I enjoy attending to my patients. In the evening, I will probably meet with my doctor friends and enjoy a dinner with them. On this day, a lot of pharmaceutical companies gift doctors and organize events for them. Besides all of this, what is most special to me is to meet a grateful patient.”

Dr Parul R Sheth

“Doctors Day is like any other working day. I have no celebrations planned as such on this day. But it’s amazing to notice how people remember the day. Patients bestow us with flowers and thank you cards. It’s nice to be remembered.”

Dr Soonu Udani

“The hospital really recognises us on Doctors Day and gives us a huge party every year. There is good food, good themes. This is usually a lunch as it is a working day for us and many doctors find it easier to attend a day event. It’s back to work for us after the celebration. May patients also remember the day and wish us on sms, little cards or via social networking sites.”

Dr Aniruddha Malpani

“I believe that patients add meaning to a doctor’s life. So, what better thing to do on this day than to tend to my patients. I am passionate about my job and I think that the emotional income one gets as a doctor cannot be matched by any other profession! So this Doctors Day will be a regular day for me, taking care of my patients.”
