100 YEAR OLD DOCTOR

I hear some of my colleagues saying that they feel that 56 or 58 would be the right time to retire as they wanted to spend more time with their family or that they wanted to take a rest as they were not as young or spritely as they used to be.  Me?  I hope and pray that God would bless me with good health and presence of mind so that I could continue working for a long, long time like Dr Walter Watson.  He is the oldest practising doctor in the United States of America.

Dr. Walter Watson is an obstetrician from Augusta, Georgia who has delivered over 18,000 babies over the course of his career and is still going strong. At 100 years old, Dr. Watson still gets up at 6:45am for breakfast and heads to the hospital by 8:30 to make his rounds at nursing stations and operating rooms. Ah!  My idol.
