A family friend became a doctor at 60 after spending over 30 years being a stay-at-home housewife raising 3 children. It truly is never too late if you have the time, energy, and dedication.

What country did it happen at?

Norway.

I see, in the US it would take a few more years to get through residency and at that point it would be retirement time, so not sure if Norway is different and your friend can be useful as a doctor.

Yeah, I don't know more than that story, really. I highly doubt she could have worked as a doctor for a very long time, and this was 20-30 years ago, so she's definitely retired now. From what I was told she mostly did it because it was a childhood dream of hers.
