The 106-year-old doctor has no intention of retirement

Dressed in his favorite tie, Dr. A. William Frankland, seated on his beige armchair, relates a life story that Hollywood producers also dream of.

He was born a twin in 1912, started the University of Medicine in the 1930 ' s, and held a military position in Singapore during World War II. After the war, Frankland returned to England and studied near Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered penicillin. He became a good alergiologist and developed a pollen counting system to help people understand what kinds of agents were allergic to.

All of this happened in the 1950s, and in honor, the Alliance Clinic at St. Mary Hospital in London was named after him. As the hospital got its name, Dr. Frankland will spend half a century in the medical field.

At the age of 106, Frankland visits patients and contributes to articles in scientific magazine publications. He loves reading medical magazines and continues to contribute to the field where he was also a pioneer. Dr. Franland says the decline in mental abilities over time causes fear of age.

But that does not mean that such fear is inevitable. Keeping the mind active and engaged to the end of life can help generate new brain cells and nerve connections. In 2015, at the age of 103, Frankland received the British Kingdom Order award for his significant contribution to the field of allergic research. /
