Pathologists’ Assistants Day is celebrated on April 14 annually. P.As are undervalued in the pathology laboratory and do not receive the recognition they deserve. As a result, this day is set aside every year to celebrate their vital contributions to correct diagnosis and better patient care. A P.A. is a trained health worker who works under a pathologist’s guidance and supervision to provide various services. Sanctuaries of the Southeastern Pathological Association are academically and practically trained to handle laboratory specimens accurately and promptly.
Celebrate Teen Literature Day
Celebrate Teen Literature Day is observed every Thursday of the second complete week in April and this year it will be marked on April 16 . It is a day to remind everyone, especially teens, to read. As everyone knows, teenagers are reading less and less. With high-tech smartphone and social network usage among teens, it’s no surprise that their attention is off books; this has been the trend for a while now. Celebrate Teen Literature Day promotes the love of reading and raises awareness about the shrinking number of teens who read for pleasure.
Children with Alopecia Day
Children with Alopecia Day is celebrated annually on April 14. Yes — this is the very ailment Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith is suffering from, which Chris Rock made fun of at the Oscars and which led to his being hit by Will Smith on stage, in front of millions of viewers. Before the slap-gate scandal, you may not have heard of alopecia. It is an autoimmune disease that causes baldness or bald spots on the scalp. In some cases, it also leads to a loss of body hair in other areas, including eyebrows and eyelashes. This year, let’s join hands to raise awareness about the disease and put an end to the stigma suffered by children who live with it.
