I preferred him.
He was a master head neurosurgeon. He was a natural leader that people simply followed by sheer respect, and command he had of the issues. So said a family friend who is still a nurse at Hopkins.
And he fixed my nephew’s head even while showing his great humility and confidence to my sister and mother.
I said back then, people mistake bloviating bluster loudness for leadership, while dissing Carson because he was quiet and measured.
Washington was likewise reserved and quiet, but commanding. He was the greatest, and didn’t need to bluster and publicly complain about people. With that example and knowing something of his character, I didn’t really doubt Carson could handle this.
I recognize that greatness in him. Like I said, I have a great deal of respect for him, and I think he is brilliant, as your anecdote relates.

Such a great man, as evidenced by these comments. I have a close friend with a disabled daughter who Dr. Carson himself treated as well. He really went the extra mile and personally helped this family for many years. He has truly touched many lives. May he continue to do great things.
He was my first choice.
