What is National Doctors' Day?

History of National Doctors' Day
The first Doctors' Day was held in Winder, Georgia, in 1933, organized by Eudora Brown Almond. The date recalls March 30, 1842, when Georgia physician Crawford Long used ether as an anesthetic during surgery. Congress made it a national day, and President George H. W. Bush signed the resolution in 1990.
