Summary
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 22 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.

Great book by an inspiring man!
This was the first book of the ben carson series that I came across. I've since read all his books but one!
A brilliant and inspiring story! A must listen to people of all ages. This book is a perfect pick-me-up for anyone in need of a boost!
I rated it 4 stars rather than 5 because the unabridged book has a few extra details the the audio version misses

Not full book
This version of the book is only the first four chapters of the book bur i has 22 chapters. Yes i know i should've looked before i bought it but i think it is 100% unfair to allow such a short version. I have to do a book report on this and now i have to move my money around to get the correct version
