In 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined behind the head. Carson pioneered again in a rare procedure known as a hemispherectomy, giving children without hope another chance at life by having a daring operation where he literally removes half of these brain. Such breakthroughs aren't unusual for Ben Carson. He's been beating the chances since he was a child. Raised in inner-city Detroit by way of a mother with a third grade education, Ben lacked motivation. He previously terrible grades. And a pathological temper threatened to put him in jail. But Sonya Carson convinced her son he will make something of his life, even though everything around him said otherwise. Trust in God, a relentless belief in his own capabilities, and sheer determination catapulted Ben from failing grades to the directorship of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Gifted Hands goes in to the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world---and in to the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others.
