My friend David Lumsden, an orthopedic surgeon, once told me about literally bumping into Ben Carson in an elevator at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I had been telling him how bad I felt about knocking his thumbnail off in a stick sparring session, being as he is a surgeon.
He grinned, “It’s no big deal—not like I’m Ben Carson about to separate Siamese twins! Really the kind of surgery I do is like being the carpenter while Ben Carson is the architect. One time I barged into the elevator and knocked him against the steel wall and I’m like, ‘Oh My God, did I sprain a hand, bump the brain’—the guy’s like a national treasure and I’m walking into him like a freagin’ idiot!”
Well David, apparently he was trying to shank dudes in Detroit in his youth, so you guys are more compatible than you might have thought—all giant-brained wizards to me.
Dude, I really hate to burst your bubble but the Binder twins are in a vegetative state and institutionalized. Naturally, the Jewstream media doesn't focus on this because it needs magic negroes to keep the egalitarian lie alive.
Carson is a fraud.
Google Binder twins vegative.
I would have provided link but having technical difficulties.
An effective surgeon cannot be someone who becomes ill at the sight of blood or would otherwise be reluctant to cut into a human body. Clearly Doctor Ben Carson qualifies in that regard. Many people have also suggested that surgeons who perform major operations, like heart, brain or cancer surgery, would necessarily have to possess a lack of empathy for others and a lack of fear of failure that would border on sociopathic personality disorder (AKA psychopathy). Otherwise the surgeon would inevitably suffer a mental breakdown from the stress. After all, a large percentage of the doctor’s patients are going to die no matter what he does for them. The patients suffer from serious life-threatening illnesses or injuries and even 21st Century medicine is inadequate to remedy all illness and injury. People who are highly sensitive to the feelings of other quickly become stressed out when they have to deal with anything but happy, cheerful feelings on a day to day basis. This accounts for much of the “self-medication” with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes (nicotine) in our society. It is a search for “transcendental relaxation”, a desire to escape from exposure to the negative emotions of others, as well as one’s own negative emotions.
I took Maureen's suggestion and “googled" the Binder Twins. The leading article featured an interesting quote from Dr. Carson himself. apnewsarchive.com/1989/Binder-Twins-Far-From-Normal-Two-Years-After-Surgery/id-424f811a9feb67934f4c3b6e86586ae2
''In a technological 'star wars' sort of way, the operation was a fantastic success,'' said Benjamin Carson, the pediatric neurosurgeon who helped direct the surgical team. ''But as far as having normal children, I don't think it was all that successful.''
Omigosh! This reminds me of the ancient joke about the Nazi brain surgeons: “the operation was a success, but the patient died.” LOL! Oh well, Dr. Carson was just telling it like it is. What chance at a normal life did those Siamese twins really have? He likely did his best, that’s all he could do. The rest is up to God.
Other than that, Dr. Carson is a blank slate politically, having held no previous political office. We wouldn’t really know what we would be getting with him as President, or anything else, regardless of the nice conservative sounding platitudes he has expressed in his speeches and editorials. At least with Barack Obama those of us who paid attention to current affairs knew, based on his political record, that we were getting a faculty lounge Leftist radical as President. President Obama certainly hasn’t disappointed us in that regard. Fortunately, he turned out to be not quite as clever at covering up what he was doing to fundamentally transform the country as we feared he might be.
Thanks for that Jeremy.
I don't think people realize how much Blacks are propped up and helped by affirmative action type measure( even in sports where great White athletes are overlooked by talent scouts in favor of Blacks) and lies of ommission.
Look how many years "America's Favorite Dad" s history of date raping young White women was overlooked! The first reports of his crimes came out what, ten years ago? I'm talking about Bill Cosby, of course.
