Best Hospitals - Brain Surgery at Johns Hopkins

Watch as Dr. Benjamin Carson performs risky brain surgery on young Payton to remove a brain tumor. Dr. Carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery, is just one of the many reasons why Johns Hopkins Children's Center was recently ranked #1 in neurology and neurosurgery in America's Best Children's Hospitals 2008.

Dr.s Ben Carson and Keith Black are two of the best neurosurgeons in the wide world, and they both happen to be black, and as a white person, I am proud of these two noble human beings to be living among us.

Dr. Carson seems pretty awesome, I hope I make it into med school this inspires me :)

@TechPriest89 I hope you do too! When I graduate High School it will be my turn to step up to the medical plate. But good luck to you!!

It's disgeusting but highly inspiring to see a man of my culture accomplish somthing this great after bieng birthed and raised in the gutter of Detroit...In my eyes Ben Carson is the Tupac of medical progress.

I HEARD THERE ARE MANY ROMANIAN DOCTORS WORKING IN AUSTRIA,GERMANY,USA,FRANCE,SPA­IN,ITALY..

I AM AFFRAID OF ROMANIAN DOCTORS..THEY SUCK..

MANY PATIENTS DIED BECAUSE THEY WERE TREATED BY ROMANIAN DOCTORS..

I WOULDNT HAVE SURGERY ...I DONT WANT MY LIFE TO DEPEND ON SOME unskilled Romanian doctor/surgeon..

Managers of Western European hospitals are seeking to hire Romanian doctors and nurses

this is wrong..DO NOT DO THIS,IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR LIFE

Romanians are stupid gypsies..bad doctors.

Really, Snarfburger? Shut the hell up... he severed my III, IV, VI, and VII cranial nerves when I was nine. I missed my entire fourth grade year as I was both inpatient and outpatient at healthsouth rehabilitation center. I had to learn how to walk, talk, eat, write, and sip through a straw again; things that other people take for granted. As for my knowledge of the anatomy of the brain, it is not lacking- I've been studying it intensely as I've been involved in litigation since I was 18.

@kcb7012 you don't really know what you're talking about. He wouldn't be widely regarded as one of the best neurosurgeons in the world at one of the best hospitals in the world if he killed and injured more patients then he saved(which you don't even know for a fact as medical records are extremely private). As for delving too far into the brainstem and hitting cranial nerves and the like, your knowledge of anatomy is lacking and your claims, unfounded.
