30 years. Pediatric neurosurgery.

That’s a lot more than managing department politics.

Plus international treks as a world-renowned pioneer in twin separation.
Plus 20 hour stints standing in the OR leading an exhausted team in a very emotional experience.

Self discipline. Leadership. Split second life and death trauma decision making for *children* which always ups the ante in medicine.

Call a lawyer at 3 am and demand a coherent and complete defense strategy be laid out right this minute.

I’m not saying he is the best choice. Just that people who don’t work in medicine are selling him way way short. Have you seen his prayer breakfast speech from 2013?

No, haven’t seen his speech from 3 years ago at a prayer breakfast.

Have the Iranians watched it?

From experience I can tell you doctors live in a world where they are idolized and never criticized to their face. They are super busy and cannot develop wide knowledge and understandings of world issues.

They do not know what they do not know. They have huge egos and truly believe they can do anything.

Would never take Carson to be capable of leading country. Think him great doctor. That’s he iz capable though.

I agree with you. Managing a department of hundreds is a far cry from trump’s denigrating lie of maybe Dr. Carson managed a “nurse or two.”

Eff trump.

GO Ben.
