Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, 99.
Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, world renowned cardiovascular surgeon, died 11 July 2008. He was 99. He was a pioneer in cardiovascular surgery and is known for inventing many surgical instruments and devices. I best know him as the namesake of the DeBakey forceps. Apparently, he was more brilliant than just being an inventor of some dissecting surgical forceps. A NYT article pays tribute.
