Saturday marks National Physicians Day, and P.E.I. Premier Dennis King took the opportunity to thank those who go above and beyond to care for their patients and build a stronger health-care system.
WINNIPEG To mark National Physicians Day, Manitobans are once again being asked to break out the pots for a celebration. Since the start of the pandemic, banging pots together in recognition of health care workers has become a staple for the world to show thanks to those who have protected us. Theresa Oswald, the CEO of Doctors Manitoba, said the pandemic has taken a toll on everyone over the last year, including health care workers. They are working hard with those people who have contracted COVID, said Oswald. They are working hard with those folks who are really trying hard to take their advice (to) not put their health on hold. So they re reorganizing their clinics, allowing for social distancing, working extra hours to see people late into the day. They really are leaving it all out on the field.
