Gifted Hands by BenCarson, M.D., with Cecil Murphey Separating conjoined twins, pioneering radical brain surgery to stop intractable seizures, and speaking at the 1997 President's National Prayer Breakfast are among the accomplishments of Dr. Ben Carson. But his life wasn't always so prestigious. Raised in inner-city Detroit by a mother with a third-grade education, young Ben lacked motivation. He had terrible grades and a pathological temper that led him to almost kill his friend over a trivial matter. With God's help and his mother's determination, Ben turned his life around. He renewed his faith – and improved his grades, earning scholarships to college and medical school. Today he is director of pediatric neurosurgery at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, MD. Gifted Hands is the captivating story of one man's secret for success, tested by unbelievable odds and driven by a mind-set that dares to take calculated risks. This inspirational autobiography takes readers into the operating room to witness life-saving surgery that made news around the world – and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others. This remarkable man's humility, quick wit, and down-to-earth style shines through and makes his life story a book that readers won't easily forget.
