Health is one of the main components modern society. The science of medicine deals with the preservation and restoration of the health of citizens.

Healthcare workers make a huge contribution to creating a healthy and strong society. Not a single country in the world can do without medicine, since this is the most important social element, without which the existence of a nation is simply impossible. Every third Sunday in June is celebrated annually under the banner of medicine. On this day, congratulations are accepted: doctors, paramedics, nurses, midwives, support staff and everyone who is somehow connected with this industry.

Story

Several hundred years ago, the famous Roman scientist Gaius Pliny Secundus said: “There is no art more useful than Medicine.” This phrase fully embodies the level of significance of this science for humanity. It is to the employees of the medical service that we owe a long and healthy life.

Society has always valued and respected the work of health workers. Back in the days Soviet Union Medical Worker Day was officially approved by the Presidium of the Supreme Council. It is from those times that this holiday has been celebrated in Russia.

Medicine is one of the most ancient sciences in the world. Its main goals are:

• restoring the health of the nation;
• introduction of new technologies into treatment procedures for citizens;
• development of modern drugs for the treatment of various serious diseases;
• control over the birth rate, reducing the mortality rate of citizens;

Every year there are more and more people who want to connect their lives with this difficult activity. But in addition to a great desire to become a good qualified doctor, of course, you also need a huge amount of knowledge. Future health workers are trained in specialized educational institutions: universities, colleges and schools. During their studies, they undergo multi-level training, which includes: attending conferences, seminars, practicing in a hospital and studying all areas of medicine.

IN modern world A lot of attention is paid to training good specialists in this industry. After all, the prosperity and productive life of the entire nation depends on the level of medicine in the country.

Traditions

Traditionally, on Medical Worker's Day, a lot of events dedicated to this holiday take place.

Concerts and performances are organized in specialized educational institutions to congratulate students and teachers. Also on the eve of this holiday, large-scale conferences and presentations dedicated to medicine are held.

Mine professional holiday doctors note both at work in the circle of the team and at home with friends and relatives. At the festive tables, with the clinking of glasses in their honor, the most best regards. In addition, health workers are also congratulated by officials from the Ministry of Health.

Do not forget to congratulate medical workers on their professional holiday, and wish them success and good luck in their difficult work.

A doctor is one of the two most unusual professions. The second is the teacher. Both play an important role in our lives. The mistake of each of them can be fatal for the body or spirit.

Therefore, we expect from representatives of these professions not only professionalism, but also a special level of morality and spiritual purity.

“I will conduct my life and my art purely and immaculately,” sounds the Hippocratic oath, which seals the official document on medical education with the seal of conscience.

Of course, there was a place on the calendar to express gratitude and appreciation to the doctors.

Doctor's Day is not the only holiday for doctors. Almost every medical specialty has its own professional holiday.

So, 12 May International Nurses Day is celebrated.
February 9th– International Dentist Day.
25th of April Veterinarians celebrate their professional day.
5 May- Midwife's Day.

There is also the Day of the Cardiologist, Psychologist, Otolaryngologist, and so on.

There are no uniform traditions in celebrating Medical Worker's Day. As a rule, ceremonial meetings, awards, and festive concerts are dedicated to this date.

By the way, doctors have two state awards: “Honored Health Worker Russian Federation" and "Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation."

Both are recognition of the talent and dedication of a person who has devoted his entire life to this difficult task. But still, the most important reward for any real doctor is the health of his patients and their gratitude.

Of course, doctors celebrate this day with colleagues and friends cheerfully and with humor, as befits celebrating any holiday.

And doctors have an excellent sense of humor, although it seems specific to the uninitiated person. And what signs do doctors have! For example, all doctors are afraid of red-haired patients, anesthesiologists are especially “superstitious” in this sense.

But there is a completely scientific explanation for this - red-haired people do not have the same pain threshold as most other people, so they require a different dosage of anesthesia and medications.

But here is a girl who decided to be born in New Year's Eve- a good sign for obstetricians and gynecologists, promising good luck for the whole year.

I would especially like to remember the doctors who worked at the front. More than 700 thousand medical workers, without fear and rest, day and night, on the front line and in the rear, saved millions of people in the most extreme situations. More than 12% of them died.

And these losses are the highest among any single military unit. Let us not forget to remember these people while sitting at festive table on the third Sunday in June.

On this day we cannot ignore the father of medicine – the Greek philosopher, physician and reformer Hippocrates. He took the famous oath that all doctors take when entering their professional path.

“I direct the treatment of the sick to their benefit in accordance with my strength and my understanding, refraining from causing any harm or injustice.

I will not give anyone the deadly means they ask from me and I will not show the way for such a plan; in the same way, I will not give any woman an abortion pessary” - of course, the modern oath of doctors is somewhat different from this original text, but the principle of high morality and responsibility inherent in it remains unchanged to this day.

And finally, a little and, at first glance, not at all medical advice from Hippocrates the philosopher: “Idleness and doing nothing entail depravity and ill health - on the contrary, the aspiration of the mind towards something brings with it vigor, eternally aimed at strengthening life.”

May our minds be directed every moment of life towards good and high goals!
