King Abdullah Passes, Dr. Pauza Remembers His Life
TYLER, TEXAS (KETK) — Doctor Kevin Pauza and the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia first met about seven years ago. “The king’s life was changed the day that he had a surgical fusion. He had rods, plates, and screws in his back because that’s the old-fashioned norm. Today we know that that’s not best for a person’s long-term interest, so after that procedure, he needed help,” said Dr. Pauza. Dr. Pauza is an innovator when it comes to spinal surgery. He created a new method of treatment and is currently the only doctor in the world, allowed to practice it.
