One of the most difficult and important professions in the world is that of a doctor. People who choose it consciously and with a desire to learn all its subtleties are special.
Ivan Fontura, a pediatrician from Brazil, is one of them. As a 92-year-old man, he continues to help children in need, having worked with them all his life. Ivan helped and saved the lives of all the children who came to see him throughout his adult life. Despite being an experienced and educated doctor, he was able to inspire even the most hopelessly ill patients, literally empowering them with life. In 2005, the doctor officially retired, but he continued to work.As a 92-year-old man, Ivan Fontura can’t even imagine watching football at home anymore. The man goes to the clinic every day to receive and treat children. After graduating from university in 1951, Ivan entered a local hospital as a doctor.
One surgeon stood out among the many workers. Not only did he treat his patient, but he also breathed life into him. Seeing such care touched the beginner specialist deeply, and he realized that this is the only way he could work as a doctor. Work has been the most important thing in Ivan’s life since then. Eva, Ivan’s wife, works with him as a nurse and follows his policy. The idea of old age and retirement doesn’t frighten Ivan Fontura in the slightest.
During his youth, he earned enough money to live on, and now he doesn’t need any more. By freeing himself from the race for money, he was able to help all the needy children. Families don’t pay a penny for the doctor’s services. He often treats homeless children from dysfunctional families, but they all need medical attention. Putting every little patient back on his feet and restoring his health is Ivan’s duty. It was the pride of Brazil to have such a legendary pediatrician. All over the country, people come to him to cure their children, then thank him.
