Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

$14.48

An inspiring story of an inner-city kid with poor grades and little motivation, who, at age thirty-three, became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. In Gifted Hands you will be placed into the operating room to witness headline making surgeries. In 1987, Dr. Carson did what seemed impossible at the time – completing the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head, a surgery that took 22 hrs. to complete. But you will also be brought into the world of a compassionate, God-fearing physician whose main goal in life is to help others. You be challenged by a man graced with humility, courage and sensitivity, gaining many of these qualities from his uneducated but highly intelligent mother. Dr. Carson’s life serves as an encouragement to anyone looking to overcome seemingly impossible odds.
