Family Doctor Day

May: Learning How to Learn


Family Doctor Day is celebrated to honour general practitioners who care for people of all ages. The idea of a family doctor has a long history, especially in Europe, where one doctor often treated the whole family for many years. These doctors knew their patients very well, including their medical history and personal lives. In modern healthcare systems, family doctors still play an important role because they are usually the first people we visit when we feel ill. This day also highlights the importance of trust, communication, and long-term care in medicine.

The word of the day:  prescription (noun)/prɪˈskrɪp.ʃən/

Meaning: a paper from a doctor that says what medicine you should take
