But for patient’s every day is a Doctors’ day as during their moment of distress and trauma no one else can be their saviour.

That dedication is what overweighed all other considerations, empowered them to bravely confront the disease despite personal risk and that made a difference to several lives. For every Doctor the prime concern is how to save his patient from distress and for that they go to any extent, even risking their lives.
