DeBakey performed his last surgery at age 90 [1], pioneered numerous procedures -- including one performed on himself at age 97 [2], and continued to practice medicine until his death at age 99. Remarkable person, but obviously an outlier. Just thought it would be interesting to bring him up in this thread.
