Dr. Michael Debakey is the most successful doctor in the 20th century.
He is the pioneer in almost every single field in heart surgery. He was the first to design and perform different heroic heart surgeries including open heart surgery and his name is mentioned in many basic medical textbooks.
In 2005, as he turned 97, he had a major vessel disease (aneurysm) and required a heart operation to fix it. He refused to undergo the surgery that he himself had designed because he thought he was at a high risk to have it done. Probably nobody would have it done better than him. He eventually had the surgery done and he survived after a long struggle. He was the oldest person in history to undergo this kind of surgery.
Right now, he is 99 years old and is still practising medicine.
Dr. Debakey's parents, Shakir and Raheejeh, were immigrants from Lebanon.
Ibin Raheejeh became the most accomplished and successful heart surgeon in history.
I am wondering how many "Ibin Raheejeh"s are there waiting to prove themselves but they are not given the chance ?

Great article amazing story...
Very impressing!!! Yalla Hareega, maybe you are the next Ibin Raheejeh!!
amazing thanx allot...
wow!!! and here they dont let professionals work after they reach 70 :la6em:
this is amazing and so comforting to be honest. i love to know and c live examples of really giving souls regardless of age they still wanna give to the world.
all my respect to every doc/surgeon out there. :hats off:
To think if he hadn't invented this technique he might not be alive today. Sort of gives a new meaning to "Itha 3amila a7adokom 3amalan fal yotkinah". If people would just work this dedicated in everything they do imagine what kind of world we would live in.
-Jeeej-
Cool.
When I first read the tile I was "ha?". I thought it was going to be another falafel story :).
Hareega, 7ashash inta..mish ma32ool!
THERE ARE SO MANY..I bet
this is what we were discussing with our prof in "scince & society"
there are many of them but no one sees ... the immegrate to U.S.A and other countries to work there and to have their chances out there
but why such a thing happen?
for sure it's not because they are not loyal to their countries but becouse of MONEY.
