A doctor in his late 60s can easily be in their prime, especially in some practice areas or research. Provided they are okay health-wise, even an 80 year old doctor can still be working, especially if they have a strong team. They'll probably be in a mentorship role or a more laid-back practice, but they'll still be earning a meaningful income and having a very real impact on their patients. And generally speaking, doctors in the West live longer than the general population, so that longevity is better as well.
