Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story by Ben CarsonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
In the 2015 election cycle I became interested in reading this autobiography, but I lost interest due to the controversy around facts asserted in the memoir. However, I have read it anyway. The points of contention could be, IMHO, left out of the book and do no real damage to the bones of the story. The early success with conjoined twins after a laudatory success in medical education at Yale and University of Michigan through the 60s and 70s making him one of the most accomplished Black Americans is a worthy story in itself. The medical angle continues to prove interesting due to the advanced and prolific successes with the hemispherectomy technique to combay seizures in children.
