National Doctor's Day celebrations across the classes
“Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients.” — Carl Jung
Doctors save lives, but their importance goes far beyond that. Doctors also make a difference by helping patients minimise pain, recover from a disease faster or learn to live with a disabling injury. A patient’s ability to enjoy life, even if he or she can’t be cured, makes a huge difference to him or her and to the family affected.
