Was ben carson a good doctor

Well before Dr. Benjamin Carson ever set foot at the podium to face the audience at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on Feb.

7, the renowned neurosurgeon was already a brand on his own in the field of medicine.

In , he became the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins and stamped his place in medical history. When his biography, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story was subsequently published in , the Christian doctor who rejects the theory of evolution became a global inspiration.

His story of triumph over crushing poverty in Detroit to become the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., at the age of 33 became a well-known and compelling narrative.

And the doctor has been speaking and inspiring with his message of personal responsibility, moral integrity and discipline ever since.
