Why Do You Want To Motivate Doctors?

When most people think of Doctors they think of the person who they see very briefly when they aren’t feeling well but in all reality they are a lot more than that. A doctor is someone who works extremely long hours, is dedicated to healing patients, and their work is intellectually, emotionally and physically taxing.
