Ben Carson
Ben Carson is a retired neurosurgen who preformed the only successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the head. He was also given the Presidential Medal of Freedom which is the highest civilian award in the United States.
This excellence was achieved by lots of studying of the human body and believing in himself.
I think that technology had a very big importance in his success. He would have had to have the knowledge of how the twins were doing and lots of other equipment to help him with the separation of the twins.
Reflection: I think that Carson is very talented and gifted. It is amazing that he was able to separate the twins that were joined at the head. I have seen many pictures of twins that were joined in different places and they would seem safe to remove them from that spot, but the head always seemed very dangerous because of the brain. But it amazes me that people who have conjoined twins can find a doctor who is able to separate them.
