 Doctor
is not a profession - it is a vocation. Being a doctor is an exhausting
work. They help people not for gratitude, but for the sake of patients' lives.
On July 17 Hesed "Polina" celebrated the Doctors' Day.
It was dedicated to the community members who gave most of their life to the
most humane and necessary profession. They are surgeons, threapeutists, oculists,
dermatologists, dentists etc.
 The
celebration was opened by the President of "Mitsva" Association Alexander
Baron. He congratulated everybody on their professional holiday and wished them
to remain responsive and considerate to others, but at the same time not to
forget of their own health. By the way, Alexander Baron knows himself very well
what it is "to be a doctor". He has a great experience of working
in Almaty railway hospital.
Then the director of Hesed "Polina" Natalya Doman congratulated
the guests. She said she had always respected doctors' professionalism, and
after seeing what they did for Hesed clients, she began to really admire them.
 When
preparing to the celebration we could not suppose that there was so little written
about doctors. That is why the head of Volunteers program Inna Enina and her
assistants had to make up verses and congratulations themselves. But the guests
decided to return the favour and also recited poems. Then "Nehama"
vocal band began singing and everybody joined them.
 That
evening both doctors and their patients had fun and wished each other sound
health. And when everybody left, some of the Hesed employees asked:
"Haven't you ever thought that our doctors are able to cure
only with their smiles? Look how much vital activity and energy they have!"
