Our NHS Doctors need the recognition they deserve considering the circumstances of the Pandemic we are all currently experiencing. Each and every Doctor should be applauded every single day, let alone year. Our lives are placed into their hands every day and they do their best to save each and every one of us. Our NHS would not be running right now, this year, 2020, without them.
