Yes ,yes you are going the right way pal.
They help us without any time limit . They are available anytime whether it’s day or night .

Yes you got their dress code right,
They wear white coats and stethoscopes as their ornament .

Finally, here’s your answer.
They are doctors.

Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, when the world had no hope , when there was no Almighty omnipresent to save the world , when death threatening situation have elevated tremendously, the medical doctors have been working 24/7 risking their lives and desperately making an attempt to save several lives. Standing at the frontline battle of Covid -19 , facing the life threatening situations , instead of thinking about their own safety and their family’s safety they choose to serve the nation, putting their own lives at risk with selfless determination for the sake of saving lives despite of every possible chance of not seeing the world again .

The doctors and the staff have gone above and beyond everything one can ever expect them to during this Covid-19 battle.

Just like diamonds , taking pressure just to shine for others .
Doctors are just humans with white coats but with extraordinary will to serve and save people .
