...Heartmakers" explains the world's only artificial-heart implantation in a human being through separate interviews with Dr. Denton Cooley, who performed the operation, and Dr. Michael DeBakey, who headed the research team...
Close Look. The Senate investigators who looked into Medicaid also drew attention to some huge payments under Medicare, the federal program for Americans over 65. In Houston, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey's surgery team collected $202,959, and Dr. Denton A. Cooley's, $193,124. Here again the fees do not appear exorbitant.
