Wow, I thought my dads (who has since died) GP was good at still practicing at the grand old age of 89, he delivered my dad and then went on to be my dads Dr untill he died aged 65.

Absolutely amazing!!

She has blessed so many with her love and care...something that will not be reached by another very easily I would assume.

God Bless Dr. Denmark for all she has done in her life.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story ((((( bebop )))))

I thought she was old when I was a kid lol.

tishie wow that is a good old guy too!

sabby I like to share those kinds of stories. I did not know until this morning that she turned 110 much less still in practice.

[pegasus]

Wow! That's one amazing lady!

[bebop]

isn't she though? I think it is so cool she was the first intern and all she has done in her life.

[splitimage]

Wow, although ya know - I might have been tempted to hang up the shingle, once I hit a 100 - everybody deserves a retirement.

you would think lol. I remember her being very stern with the parents lol one of her books is sold at my pharmacy. maybe I will get my daughter one for her new baby.

Our family doctor was that way, he delivered my grandmother, my mother, me, and told me I was preggers with my first child. He was very offended (as was my great-grandmother) that I did not choose him for my prenatal care and delivery.

He was an old frail looking man when I was a child. But he could look at you and know that there was a problem. He ran different tests in his office and charged 20 for a test that would cost you 100 in the clinic or the hospital. An office call in 1989 was $25.

I hated him as a child, and did not respect his abilities until I entered the medical profession in my late 20's. He was also famous for another reason. Al Capone was shot in Crandon Wisconsin and Dr. Gorrilla was kidnapped to take care of him.

Must be something to it ... what God says about His blessing of those who take care of children!

What an amazing woman.....just think of all the pressures she must have fought to accomplish all that she has achieved. She had to be a very strong willed, determined woman who was very intelligent. I'm sure the men at that time she was in med school weren't all that supportive. It's hard enough for women these days to deal with the pressures of being accepted as a serious medical Dr student. I know back in the 70's when I was in college, it was the standard.....women are nurses, book keepers.....anything except for the professional positions.

I truely respect women of her day that have accomplished such a wonderful achievement so successfully & won the respect of everyone. Her list of achievements are amazing.....she had to have had a very special gift of knowledge & talent to just get through the schooling at the time along with the inner strength to not be discouraged by those I'm sure tried hard to keep her from doing what she did.

I love to hear stories of people like this who have contributed so much to our society & laid the successful groundwork for others to follow in her path.....thanks for sharing this wonderful story of such a wonderful woman....you were blessed to have actually known her & interfaced with her.
