I am applying to medical school and I am 43 years old! I am truly inspired by Dr. Freeman.

"As long as God gives me life and gives me strength, I have to keep doing it" - Wow! I am impressed! She still practices medicine, sees 150-200 patients a year, and even travels to work by subway! Wow! That is so sweet.

Dr Freeman was my father’s physician 12 years ago. I am glad she is still going strong !

This woman went through medical school in the 40s and 50s when the Black people had no rights to speak of I have to say I have mad respect for this woman

[omarguerrero]

Wow I am 29 and getting scared of getting old this just made me realized how much work and happiness I still have ahead!

I ♥️ this woman!!! What an inspiration!!! My daddy is 92. He contracted poliomyelitis at the age of 25 and was told he was going to die. He told his doc to go to hell!!! He is the last surviving patient from his iron lung unit. I am EXTREMELY PROUD and grateful for my father!!! He is my HERO!!! With all the challenges he faces, he continues to thrive and carry each of us on his shoulders. I am incredibly blessed!!! Would love for my daddy and this amazing doctor to sit down for a visit. ♥️❤️♥️ Sending Dr. Freeman lots of love, light, and gratitude for gracing us with her presence. The world shines brighter because of her!!! 💖✨

Wow. The doctor looks decades younger than her age. How wonderful to see. I love seeing good stories. The news always seems to be negative. This is such a beautiful story!! Thank you 🙏🏼

She looks really good, she doesn’t even look like she’s in her 90’s.

[avrenimedragal]

Wow..she acknowledges that it is God who gives her the strength and life to go on with life! So nice to hear her say that!

What a phenomenal lady MashaAllah! Not only that she walks, climb stairs, and works at 92 years of age. My favorite part about her is her humility - greeting passer by’s and taking public transportations. Otherwise we usually see medical doctors and their families as snobs.

May Allah God bless her and may we learn from such authentic and wonderful living heroes - Aameen 💖

Essence magazine needs to honor this woman, she's a trailblazer for the elderly that you can still keep it moving baby.

She has no wrinkles, her skin is tight, sound of voice & mobility still good. This is one amazing woman🌻🌼🦋

She's not only 92 and accomplished, but clear-spoken, classy, and a blessing to the world.

[deeabee]

She is clearly so full of life and motivated to make an impact in people’s lives! I can’t imagine what she has experienced throughout her life. Amazing woman!

"As long as God gives you life and gives me strength I have to keep doing it, HE has been very merciful to me." Amazing!!🙌❤🙏

This is a blessing what a gem and treasure to help the community and hear the wisdom of an elder. 92 and still doing what she loves this is real wealth.
