A day to thank doctors

Today, and November 14th annually, is "Day to thank Doctors" / "Thank Doctors Day". A nice gesture. As a physical gesture of thanks, the suggestion is that you give doctors a handkerchief on this day. Surprisingly, I have never heard of anyone giving a doctor a handkerchief in gratitude and I had never heard of "Thank Doctors Day" before today! 

November 14th was chosen for this commemorative day because November in digits, 11, represents two people together; doctor and patient and the 14 is a pun as it can be read "i (1) shi (4); "医師" in Japanese means doctor. The anniversary was established by D-Plus Co. Ltd who develop medical support facilities. The aim is to help patients and doctors trust each other and build better medical care.

I have great respect for anyone who works to help other people. I think it's a nice idea to express my gratitude with a simple gift like a handkerchief. I do on occasion give our family doctor in Japan and the children's paediatrician, souvenirs from Ireland. Have you ever gifted a doctor a present in gratitude? What do you think of the idea?
