In Memory of Dr. Michael E. Debakey
1908 - 2008
Dr. Williams and his father, L. Polk Williams, Jr, MD, FACS both trained to become surgeons under the guidance of Dr. Debakey at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Dr. Debakey’s influence on Dr. Williams started at an early age through stories and pearls of wisdom from his father. He was in the twilight of his surgical career when Dr. Williams trained with him, but his impact will be life long. Dr. Debakey’s life motto was "The pursuit of excellence has been my objective in life."
Dr. Debakey is considered by many to be the greatest surgeon of the 20th century. He was an innovator of many cardiovascular surgical techniques and was a world-wide statesman for improving healthcare. He helped create the first M*A*S*H* units used in the Korean War, the Veterans Administration Hospital System, and led the creation of the National Library of Medicine. He held counsel with every U.S. President since Dwight Eisenhower. In 2008, at the age of 99, Dr. Debakey was presented the Congressional Gold Medal by President George W. Bush. The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian award given by the United States Congress in recognition of service to one's country and humanity. Dr. Debakey died on July 11, 2008.
