That's freaky. There was a Dr. Watson practiciing medicine in Macon well into his eighties, and we thought he was old!

My doctor has to be in his mid to late 70's. We've been going to him for over 25 years, and when I asked him when he's going to retire, he said he has no plans to. He said all of his doctor buddies that retired are all back to work out of boredom, and love for what they do.

The doctor who performed my brain surgery three years ago was in his 70s and I'm grateful to have had a doctor with so much experience. Here's a guy who's been performing brain surgery since long before all of the technology we have now came along. A guy with skilled hands and intuition. I'm grateful every morning I still wake up. It could have gone much, much worse.
