The grandmother you see in the photos has been operating since she was 24 😱 Four surgeries a day are part of her routine 💖 Furthermore, throughout her career, she has performed over 10,000 surgeries 😍 She continues to work even though she has officially retired 😲 You won’t guess how old she is 😮
You know, sometimes we come across stories that remind us how passion and love for one’s work can truly defy time. Take, for example, the wonderful story of Alla Levushkina, a 90-year-old Russian surgeon.
Yes, you read that right: 90 years old! She could comfortably enjoy her retirement, but instead, she has chosen to continue practicing her profession with an energy and passion worthy of a young recruit.
When Alla started her career at the age of 24, she didn’t yet know she would become a model of perseverance and dedication for more than six decades.
Today, even though she has been officially retired for a long time, she still performs surgeries at the hospital in Ryazan, a city near Moscow.
Performing four surgeries a day is her daily routine. Moreover, she has already completed over 10,000 surgeries throughout her career! It’s almost unbelievable, isn’t it?
She doesn’t see her profession as just a job but as a true vocation. “If I stop working, who will perform the surgeries?” she tells me. It sets the tone: being a doctor is not just work for her; it’s a way of life.
Her passion is so great that she doesn’t need any secret to stay fit and motivated. As she puts it, “I eat everything, I laugh and I cry a lot.” It’s as simple as that.
Imagine yourself in her shoes (or should I say in her surgical gloves!): after so many years, most of us would probably be exhausted, ready to put our feet up. But Alla?
She’s still there, saving lives and inspiring others. Her life is a powerful testament to what it truly means to love what you do.
