Yes, the malpractice is what worries me. I read that he performed surgery on a patient THREE times without ever looking at her MRI; I cannot fathom a competent surgeon not working up a patient up before surgery, especially brain surgery. And so I wonder why he is retired at such a young age. The childhood sins, I can overlook, even serious ones, a young boy’s brain at the age of 14 is not mature, his emotional maturity is not that of an adult.
I read that too...in the National Enquirer. Haven't seen it elsewhere
Carson was more than a competent surgeon. He was a gifted pioneer. He performed complex neurosurgery that no one else had ever dreamed of attempting. He retired at the pinnacle of his 36-year career. He did so to enter the political arena after his widely praised speech at the National Prayer Breakfast.
I read a Guardian article that mentions this, and other cases. I notice that in all these cases, only the plaintiff’s side is given. I don’t see what Dr. Carson’s defense might have been. I also saw that in several cases, he was taking cases who had experienced failure with other doctors. In other words, he was taking other doctor’s rejects.
I also read that he performed about up to 500 surgeries per year, three times the rate typical for other neurosurgeons. Yet, his rate of mm alpractice suits per year was about average. That means, he had the same number of malpractice suits for three times the number of operations. This is bad? This is “information that will come about him??” That he had one third the rate of malpractice suits as others??
