Michael Attas, MDiv, MD, didn’t choose medicine so much as it chose him.
He was a football player and Psychology student at Baylor University when he applied for a summer job at Baylor College of Medicine. At the time, the college was looking for a student to research the cause of mysterious “mumps” appearing on patients following open heart surgery, and Attas was looking for a way out of a construction job that was planned for that summer. He had no background or interest in medicine, but because no one else applied, he got the job.
Not only did Attas discover the cause of the temporary condition; his findings were published in a national medical journal that fall. His medical intuition caught the attention of renowned heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley, who put his hand on Attas’ shoulder on the last day of the job and said, “Mike, you have a gift. Go to medical school.”
So he did. It was the start of a prominent and fulfilling career in medicine for Dr. Attas.
With a bachelor of science in psychology under his belt, he went on to earn his medical degree from The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He completed his residency and fellowship training at the University of Kentucky Medical Center where he also served as Chief Resident in the Department of Medici

Re: Italo Labignan
Postby almontefisher »
So a few years ago I had the pleasure and I say pleasure cause it was to fish with Italo for a day. I asked him about the checkered past and he said it was the best thing to happen to him and unlike his ex partner he stuck around and made a change in his life. He teaches us about everything he did wrong without bringing it up every show. Who better then someone who knows the laws he broke. That is why we use ex druggies and alkies for teaching others how and what to do to avoid the same situations and that is what Italo is doing. Yes he broke the law and he is the first one to say he did..Did he run away and hide..No he satyed put and made a differece which is more than most would do in a puplic spotlight like he is. Italo was very consiencious with the fish we caught and he only handled one fish out of the water that day as it was hooked deep and needed pliers to get it out. He noted that the fish had been out of water way to long and so he kept the fish for consumption instead of letting it go back out to die. You all have an opinion and it is allowed but maybe before saying your opinion get to know the guy first and then shoot him down if you like. He is not the man he was...
Fishing isn't a matter of life
