I love his accent. And because he is 5000 years old, I don't think 35 years was too long for him to get his medical degree.

Peter, Hi. Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but I did. We were at school together in Cardiff - I was a couple of years behind you but we were friends through the drama group. Good to see that you finally made it as a doctor, despite the “little detour”. I beat you to it, qualifying in 1988. It’s no surprise though. You were a superb academic, sportsman, musician (and actor 😂) destined for great things and a far from conventional life. I wish you well in your medical career as I retire and sail into the sunset 😊

I am watching and listening this address in 2019. As an allied health professional, I want to thank Peter for addressing the need for health professionals to really "see" the person who is in front of them. I also want to congratulate him for referencing how the practice of medicine is increasingly dehumanizing both patients and practitioners. I send out good wishes to Peter on his journey in life.

It’s amazing to see what’s he’s accomplished. A true role model.

Pretending to be an actor, now pretending to be a Doctor. You're not fooling anyone Methos.

To paraphrase THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER HE SO BRILLIANTLY PORTRAYED, "He has been MANY things". And this is easily his greatest, humblest honored accomplishment. Bravo, Sir.

I'm happy for you Methos!

We have an actor in Sweden who did the same as Peter. He was on a tv show in his teens about a hospital and then he kept working for another 10 years untill he applied in his 30s and is now in his 40s. I like it when people do things like this. Can you imagine how many people who have walked in to his hospital and gotten shocked at seeing Methos, Dr James Watson or Tanith? Just by him being there might have been the push they needed to not feel scared of the condition they where in or the treatment they needed.

Always liked this guy. He looks the same as when he was on Highlander....hmmm.

Congratulations Dr Wingfield! What a beautiful address to your classmates, families and faculty. You had a dream as a young man out of high school, and you kept it in your mind and in your heart until you achieved it. You exemplify where following your heart can lead, and that the reward doesn’t have to be an immediate one. You are an incredible role model for all of us. Thank you for all of that.

Three dislikes for the other Three Horsemen: Silas, Caspian and Kronos...

It is very fitting for a 5000+ years old to spend 35 years learning medicine

Thing about peter Winfield is he's earned his medicine after 35 years and as a doctor in what he loves in to have that much passion to learn and to do what he wants to do i salute him congrats peter

If Peter walked in my room and he announced he was my anesthesiologist, I'd think I was in the Twilight Zone. He'd ask me about any allergies, and I'd ask him if he was Methos!

Congratulations, Dr. Wingfield! Always been a fan of your acting work. Long live Methos!

Live, grow stronger, fight another day.

Want a memorable commencement address for this class, and what a great choice he was for commencement speaker!

The M.D actually stands for his names, Methos and Death.

...that was just extremely profound and uplifting and empowering and liberating...this man is an inspiration to us all...he is truly amazing...

Started his medical training in 1981? I think it's more like 3500 BC

You maybe a doctor now but I will always remember you as methos Peter you truly mean good in every way I bet you would make a great older Brother I wished I had

Thank you for sharing this wonderful speech by Dr Peter Wingfield. Such a class act & a funny guy, too. 👏🏼🤩

Congratulations Dr Adams Methos!!!

Tanith is now a doctor. Apophysis would be proud.

he was my best i hope the best for him from Vancouver Island

Stay Blessed Peter and everyone else 🙏

Congrats and kudos Peter...very, very well done Doc!!!

I like the fact that in 2015 he was already beyond the manipulative ideological use of the word 'diversity.'

Fantastic!!!

I have been treated like raw meat by physicians and I have been treated kindly and with respect. It makes all the difference in the world.

Excellent determination

Congratulations, Dr. Wingfield! Best Wishes in all you endeavor!!!

Congratulations Methos 😅😅😅😅. You're still fine 🙂

So cool he made a new career after his TV show, instead of just becoming a hasbeen,.

He's been a doctor before :)

Great speech, well done Peter.

He really got to know his cohorts, and acknowledge them. Not some self absorbed actor.

M.D. stands for Methos aka Death.

He is so handsome

The good doctor Adams

I knew I liked this guy.

Great career fall back, got tired of being an actor? Become a doctor!! 😊. Good job, Peter!!

I think it isnt odd that a actor has other dreams to fulfill in their life besides being a life long pretender now when he acts if he acts again his role as a doctor wont be pretend

A pirate movie would be good.

Methos the Gas Passer. Imagine that.
