Dr. Ben Carson is a Lifesaving Hero
About Dr. Carson
Who is Ben Carson?
Born in inner-Detroit and raised in a broken family, Benjamin Carson was considered one of the dumbest kids in school. But, with the help and encouragement of his mother, Sonya, who only had a third grade education, Ben studied hard and graduated from high school with honors and gained admission into Yale University.Always having a fascination with the human mind and brain, he earned a degree in psychology. But, upon graduation he decided that he would instead like to pursue something more, and so he went on to medical school at the University of Michigan.
At this time, Ben Carson discovered his unique ability to visualize the human brain in three dimensions and his excellent hand-eye coordination. Having a background in psychology and neuroscience, he chose a career in neurosurgery.
When he finished medical school, Ben Carson became a neurosurgery resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, and at only age 33 he became the youngest director of pediatric neurosurgery ever.
He then went on to make medical history in medical procedures such as the separation of the Binder siamese twins in 1987 who were joined in the back of the head. This surgery was risky, as all previous attempts at this type of procedure had failed with the loss of one or both twins. After 22 hours of intense surgery and 70 staff members, the Binder twins were successfully separated.
Dr. Carson performed many other medical "miracles", and since has earned many awards and honors, including being appointed to the President's Council on Bioethics by George W. Bush in 2004 and most recently, being given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush on June 19, 2008.
