This holiday was traced back to 1933 in Winder, Georgia, when Eudora Brown Almond, who was the wife of a prominent Georgian doctor, wanted to create a day just for recognizing and honoring doctors. She selected March 30th as this is the date Dr. Crawford W. Long first used ether anesthesia during surgery in 1842. Today we continue to honor doctors on March 30th every year to celebrate medical advances and thank all doctors everywhere who’ve spent so much time and energy mastering their field of expertise.
