"Didnt the esteemed neurosurgeon Ben Carson prove this was possible years ago?"
Yes he did.
He was head of neurosurgery at John Hopkins, but a few years back was diagnosed with prostrate cancer - so I am not sure if he still heads that unit or not.
He has performed many remarkable surgeries.
I have read two of his books, and I heavily recommend Gifted Hands.
His early years were troubled, but his mother had him read a book a week and write a book report on it.
Now he is truly a gifted neurosurgeon - by anyone's standards.
You won't hear much about him, though:
He is evangelical.
He prays often, and before each surgery.
He does not believe in evolution at all.
He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom via President George W. Bush.
If you get the chance you should read the fella's bio.
It is simply amazing, and an inspiration.
