National Biologic Coordinators Day is celebrated on November 1, and we are all set to celebrate this day with pomp and energy. Getting on and following through with prescribed biological treatment is tricky, but biological coordinators make it very painless for patients! Their constant support and tireless work make access to the prescribed biological treatments very easy, and patients get the much-needed treatment they deserve. A biologic coordinator can be any member of a medical practice’s office staff who helps in navigating the process of obtaining prescribed biologic medications.
Chhath Puja
Kartiki Chhath Puja is a religious event observed in the Indian month ‘Kartika,’ taking place in October and November. This year, it takes place from October 27 to 30. It is a four-day ancient Hindu festival dedicated to the Sun God, Lord Surya. Kartiki Chhath is actually the second half of the celebration, as the first one, Chaiti Chhath, takes place early on during April and May. Kartiki Chhath Puja comes to a close with Usha Arghya, the day when people break their 36-hour long fast, during which they don’t consume water or food. To conclude, they offer ‘Bihaniya Arghya’ to the rising sun. The festival is celebrated in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, and the country of Nepal.
National Tennessee Day
National Tennessee Day is on October 26, and we are all set to break into Elvis’s iconic rubber legs move to celebrate this beautiful state. Did you know that Tennessee is also known as the ‘volunteer state?’ Tennessee volunteered many times to fight for America. In the 1812 Battle of New Orleans, Tennessee participated in overwhelming numbers, and again, during the 1846 Mexican-American War, when the secretary of war asked for 2,800 soldiers from the state, Tennessee offered 30,000! Tennessee is also the home of country music, hot chicken, rolling hills, and whiskey.
