I’m honored to be hosting Grand Rounds for the fourth time. This is not the GR theme today, but I did want to mention that it’s Doctor’s Day tomorrow in the United States. Doctor’s Day was first observed on March 30, 1933. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles Almond, decided to set aside a day to honor physicians.

The red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for National Doctors Day. In 1990, law was passed designating March 30 as “National Doctors Day.” Big shout out to all my physician colleagues out there!
