Ontario physician Dr Charles Godfrey, who practiced medicine until the age of 102, making him one of the oldest people to ever practice medicine in North America, has died.
He was 104 and died at his home in Madoc, Ontario, just weeks shy of his 105th birthday.If it wasn't for the pandemic, his father would have probably continued practicing for a little while longer, he added."He was the smartest guy in the room, all my life, any room we were in," he said.
After the war, he enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto and earned his degree in 1953. He paid for his tuition by working as a janitor and scrapyard worker. Godfrey was a professor in the Department of Rehabilitative Medicine at the University of Toronto for over two decades. He was working 13-hour days teaching and maintaining his own practicewell into his 70s. He would spend weekends at his country home in Madoc.
Godfrey shared his secret to a long life:"The main thing is to keep interested in life," he told Suzuki.
