The history of the emergence of medicine
Until now, it is impossible to definitively indicate the exact date when medicine was born. We all understand that the primitive man was not devoid of various diseases or injuries, but he cannot claim that someone hastened to his rescue in a conscious way.
In addition to man, animals needed help, but wild creatures themselves could satisfy their needs using the techniques inherent in their breed. To man, the understanding of primitive medical and hygienic norms came with time, after he had gone through several stages of evolution.
Most likely, the emergence of mutual support can be considered the boundary between instinctive self-help and conscious first aid. Just when a person consciously tried to help another person, tried to alleviate his suffering, save life and improve the working capacity of other members of the team, medicine was born.
By whom and when was the Medic's Day established
In order for the holiday to be considered official, back in the distant 1980, on October 1, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Resolution No. holidays and memorable dates. Since then, every year thousands of people across the country and abroad congratulate medical workers on their Day.

These are engineers and technologists who develop equipment for medical institutions and laboratories; orderlies and biologists; chemists and laboratory assistants; other respected professions.
To respect all the workers who once took the Hippocratic oath in Russia, they decided to introduce two honorary titles:
- Honored Health Worker of the Russian Federation. This is the highest degree of recognition and award for each of the medical workers. It is worthy of only those people who have fully devoted themselves to this area, have invested their soul in it and made an invaluable contribution to its development.

This honorary title is awarded to doctors who have dedicated more than 15 years of their lives to this profession, providing healthcare services and who have managed to make a special contribution to medicine. 04/25/2011 Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on awarding Alexander Smirnov, head of the Glazov department of the healthcare facility.

And only after 10 years in the Soviet Union, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “On holidays and memorable dates”, the doctors of our country finally received their professional holiday. By the way, this day, both then and in modern Russia, is celebrated more widely than International Doctor's Day.
The holiday has a fairly young history. The Day of the Medical Worker was celebrated in the USSR on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980 "On holidays and memorable days."
Nowadays, doctors are honored on the third Sunday of June not only in Russia, but also in Belarus, Armenia, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Medical Worker's Day, like many professional holidays in our country, does not yet have special traditions. Of course, on the eve of the holiday, ceremonial debriefing, concerts are held in medical teams, and government awards are presented at a higher, state level. Grateful patients also do not forget to congratulate their kind angels - doctors on this day. Warm words and flowers of former patients probably mean no less to doctors than certificates of honor.
Well, the holiday itself - Sunday - is most often celebrated in the circle of relatives and friends, because those who face pain every day need to replenish their spiritual strength and receive their portion of love, respect, gratitude.
