A story on GMA3 that you first saw on News 5: 100-year-old neurologist still practicing, teaching medical residents and seeing patients
World War II Navy veteran. Chief of neurology of the Atlantic fleet during the Korean War. Law school in his late 60s. Medical-legal expert witness. Currently a practicing neurologist for more than seven decades.But what you don’t see written on his long list of accomplishments over the last 99 years is what Tucker is most proud of: 10 grandkids, four children and a wife of 65 years he says he has never had a fight with.
His family tells the story of him sneaking out of the house during the height of the COVID pandemic to help treat patients at the hospital. While Tucker makes it look relatively easy, staying active, seeing patients and teaching medical residents in his 90s, his secret is simple — never stop moving, never stop learning.
“He has seen 75 years of the evolution of medicine, 75 years of the evolution of the brain, and he has this unique perspective of medicine that is kind of this dying ideology where you put the patient first,” Taylor said.Back then, every patient was a puzzle to solve, and the way you got to your diagnosis was by getting to know the person.
