Resumen del Editor

This best-selling book reveals the extraordinary life of Dr. Ben Carson - from inner-city kid to renowned neurosurgeon.

Dr. Ben Carson is known around the world for breakthroughs in neurosurgery that have brought hope where no hope existed. In Gifted Hands, he tells of his inspiring odyssey from his childhood in inner-city Detroit to his position as director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions at age 33.

Filled with fascinating case histories, Gifted Hands will transplant you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world, and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others. In 1987, Dr. Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head - an extremely complex and delicate operation that was five months of planning and twenty-two hours of actual surgery, involving a surgical plan that Carson helped initiate.

Gifted Hands reveals a man with humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity who serves as a role model for anyone who attempts the seemingly impossible.

A very good read

Ben Carson's story is an amazing one, his struggles and accomplishments that he shares with us that he experienced throughout his life would be very encouraging to all who reads it.

remarkable man

It's nonsensical how many have demonized this man for his political views. This is reprehensible considering his accomplishments and how those actions have changed so many lives in a positive way. It's ok for black men to be conservative; even if you disagree with their politics, it doesn't change their contributions or taint their accomplishments. This man's professional career is nothing short of heroic and brilliant. "Gifted Hands" is a beautiful story of the American Dream.
