Saving a Life

Ben Carson proved himself to be an extraordinary man when he tackled a procedure that most surgeons do not attempt because of the possibility for the patients full recovery is slim to none. Before performing the hemispherectomy I presume that he prayed to God, because he himself stated that God lead his hands throughout the whole operation. Carson was precise when planning the steps and the people who were to be involved in his surgery; he had Dr. Knuckey by his side and he was going to take twice as long as previous surgeons had taken. Dr. Carson beat the odds and the surgery was a success, he removed the left-hemisphere of young Maranda's brain and accomplished the impossible. Even though I do not plan on becoming a surgeon I do want to be a Doctor, and this story inspires me to go above and beyond, even if the situation seems impossible.
