National Doctor’s Day 2020: Check Out These Puns That Are Intended For Fun

Just for laughs or better yet, laughter is the best medicine.

We all know that doctors, nurses and other health care specialists around the world have been working tirelessly ever since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been putting their own lives at risk taking care of patients infected with the virus, and most have been working non-stop. So it is only fair that we show them our appreciation on National Doctor’s Day 2020, which is marked on July 1 every year.

In India, National Doctor’s Day, was established in 1991 by the government, and July 1 was chosen as a mark of respect for Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, whose birth and death anniversary falls on that day. He was a great physician, a former Chief Minister of West Bengal, a renowned educationist and a freedom fighter. He was so well respected as a physician that he treated even Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. His legacy of uplifting and serving the public is not forgotten.

It is difficult in this day and age to find another Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, but nevertheless our present day doctors have shown that they too can make sacrifices to ensure the health of others. And having to deal with so many patients suffering from coronavirus would not be so easy, so perhaps these few jokes could help lighten their load.
