Day pays tribute to nation's doctors

If you didn’t know that today was National Doctors Day or if you didn’t even know there was one, you’re in good company. I didn’t either. Not that I care that much. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate doctors as much as anyone else does. Maybe it’s sour grapes, but there’s no National Journalists Day, so I just don’t care.

But, if you do, it’s apparently appropriate to send cards to physicians and their wives and to put flowers on deceased doctors’ graves. At least that was the idea conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of physician Charles B. Almond (whose only claim to fame that I could find on the internet is that he married Eudora) back in 1933 in Winder, Georgia.
