Ben Carson (born September 18, 1951) is a renowned American neurosurgeon. He is said to be one of the first and youngest in the nation at the age of 32 to become the Director of Pediatrics Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is an inspiration to black children growing up with single parentage all over the world.
In 1987 Carson came to media attention when he separated conjoined twins who were joined at the head and shared part of the same brain. In 2003, he was a member of the surgical team which worked to separate Ladan and Laleh Bijani. When asked why he had performed such risky surgery, he said that he had heard them say that they would rather die than stay conjoined. After having heard that, he wanted to use his skills to try to save them.
Carson graduated from Yale University with a degree in psychology in 1973. His medical degree was obtained from the University of Michigan in 1977.
He has written three books: Gifted Hands, Think Big and The Big Picture.
