About this listen
Before he became one of the most influential surgeons in modern history, Michael DeBakey was just a fourteen-year-old boy in New Orleans holding the wrist of a dying neighbor and learning how fast life can slip away. That moment became the engine that drove him through lecture halls, operating rooms, and eventually into the largest war the world had ever seen.
This episode follows DeBakey from the humid streets of Louisiana to the chaos of WWII, where he transformed battlefield medicine, redesigned evacuation systems, and planted the seeds that would become MASH, helicopter evacuation, trauma centers, and the Golden Hour itself.
A story of relentless innovation, quiet grief, and the surgeon who dared to fight time.
