Ben frequented Maranda's family the night before the young girl's brain surgery. He spoke to her parents, outlining the potential risks one last time. "The surgery should take about five hours. There's a solid possibility that Maranda could bleed uncontrollably and expire there. Or she could make it through and become paralyzed and never speak again. There is no way to know very well what will happen." As a kid growing up in Detroit, Ben Carson (1951-) has a dream of becoming a physician, a fantasy that increased out of battles with poverty, racism, and poor grades. As Ben persevered and strove for educational brilliance, his life became one of compassion and service. Today, Benjamin Carson, MD, is recognized as the American neurosurgeon with gifted hands. The first physician to successfully distinct twins joined at the head, he aimed pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Clinic for over 25 % of a hundred years. His life is still a model of what it means to service deeply, provide brilliantly, and lead courageously.
