Ben Carson was part of the team who separated the brains of Siamese twins

6. Ben Carson was a famous neurosurgeon long before he had dreams of a life in politics.

He performed a dangerous, daring surgery on a teenager who suffered from such debilitating seizures, it was feared she would die. Her intellect was declining with nearly every seizure. Carson removed half of her brain to try to reduce the number of seizures after extensive testing suggested that might be her only hope for a longer, better quality of life. I have not followed up on that girl (since her surgery in the 1990s) but shortly after her surgery she was recovering nicely and adjusting to the loss of some of ability to use one arm and one leg. Her seizures were gone, but she faced a lengthy rehab.

Since then, who knows what might have happened to Carson? He seems a bit odd. Maybe there are mental health issues. But no matter what the problem may be, he does not have the education or experience to run a government department the size of Housing.
