Gold medal for DeBakey
Baylor School of Medicine – Solutions, Volume 4, Issue 1, Summer 2008
Tulane alumnus and famed surgeon Michael E. DeBakey was presented with the bill that President George W. Bush signed to authorize DeBakey’s Congressional Gold Medal. The 99-year-old DeBakey, who grew up in Lake Charles, LA and graduated from Tulane School of Medicine, will receive the medal next year. Congress voted in October to award the medal to DeBakey, who helped revolutionize the treatment of injured soldiers and veterans while changing the face of cardiovascular surgery. The bill with President Bush’s signature will be on exhibit in the new DeBakey Library and Museum, scheduled to open next year at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where DeBakey is chancellor emeritus.
