In 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson gained worldwide recognition for his
part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at
the back of the head. Carson pioneered again in a rare procedure
known as a hemispherectomy, giving children without hope a second
chance at life through a daring operation in which he literally
removes one half of their brain. Such breakthroughs aren t unusual
for Ben Carson. He s been beating the odds since he was a child.
Raised in inner-city Detroit by a mother with a third grade
education, Ben lacked motivation. He had terrible grades. And a
pathological temper threatened to put him in jail. But Sonya Carson
convinced her son he could make something of his life, even though
everything around him said otherwise. Trust in God, a relentless
belief in his own capabilities, and sheer determination catapulted
Ben from failing grades to the directorship of pediatric
neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
Gifted Hands takes you into the operating room to witness surgeries
that made headlines around the world---and into the private mind of
a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others."
