Dr. Cranquis' Mumbled Gripes

wifeofadocstar:

Dr. Fred Goldman sits in his office in Cincinnati. Goldman, who turned 100 years old on Dec. 12, has been a practicing physician for 76 years. He still works three days a week and has an office in the old Jewish Hospital on Burnet Ave.

My mother in-law shared this with us today. Just amazing…(and this guy is absolutely hilarious)

Wow — I want to be like this man: functioning body, productive in my society and blazingly funny at 100. 

As the [100th-] birthday doctor worked the waiting and the hallway, his guests peppered him with questions.

How does it feel to be 100?

He examined both of his hands. He squeezed one. Then, the other.

“Don’t feel anything different,” he said with a sly smile.

“Most people my age,” he added, “can’t feel anything. They’re dead.”
