Dr. Michael Debakey receives the Congressional Gold Medal


Dr. Michael Debakey received the Congressional Gold Medal today for his work towards pioneering heart surgery.

He completed his freedom card last summer.

His card reads:

“Freedom is protection from slavery or oppression. It is precious, but it is not absolute, and it is not synonymous with license, for it entails self-discipline, responsibility, and accountability.”
