Did you know that today, May 1st, is Doctors’ Day here in Ontario.
The Ontario Medical Association is asking Ontarians to help celebrate this day by sending a personalized thank you card to their doctors. The cards can be created on this website, http://thanksdoc.oma.org/. Once submitted, the OMA will deliver your thank you card directly to your doctor.
When was the last time you thanked your doctor?
As an added incentive, everyone who submits a thank you card is eligible to win an iPhone5 and Fitbit One™ Wireless Activity & Sleep Tracker.
You can even thank you Doctor on Facebook, or send a kind note to the OMA through Twitter for taking care of their members. I have spent numerous hours on their Facebook page reading articles which as a parent are important to me, such as the OMA asking to have antibiotics removed from livestock feed in Canada and the alarming amount of sodium in restaurant food.
As a special thank you for posting about a wonderful cause, the OMA is offering you, the reader, and opportunity to win a $25 Sport Chek gift card. All you have to do to have an opportunity to win is post a comment on my blog or Facebook page of the direct link to their thank you on the website (example: http://thanksdoc.oma.org/#367) just to be sure that you have actually participated in this day of recognition.
On May 15th, I will take down the names of all of you who took the time to comment, put them in a hat and have one of my children draw a winner. The winner will be notified via email.
I’m off now to send a thank you to our family doctor of 13 years who adapted her style to meet our needs when she realized that we prefer to try natural remedies first before getting to the antibiotics for us and our children. As a result, she offers us all solutions and we greatly appreciate that!
Thanks Doc!
