Gifted Hands The Ben Carson Story
|
| 00:02:04 |
Scissors. |
| 00:02:10 |
Clamp. |
| 00:02:17 |
-O.R. |
| 00:02:20 |
Doctor? |
| 00:02:23 |
-Yes? |
| 00:02:24 |
I need to see you up in my office. |
| 00:02:28 |
Okay. Soon as I'm done. |
| 00:02:32 |
They were born by cesarean |
| 00:02:34 |
and, against all odds, they're still alive. |
| 00:02:40 |
Their physician from West Germany |
| 00:02:44 |
Occipital cranopagus twins |
| 00:02:49 |
Yeah. He knows that. |
| 00:02:55 |
If they're not separated... |
| 00:03:00 |
they'll spend the rest of their lives in bed, |
| 00:03:06 |
The hospital wants me |
| 00:03:13 |
Ben, are you gonna do this? |
| 00:03:16 |
Nobody's ever done it. |
| 00:03:19 |
In situations like this, one baby always dies. |
| 00:03:29 |
Welcome to Germany. |
| 00:03:30 |
We've been anxiously awaiting |
| 00:03:34 |
Allow me to introduce |
| 00:03:39 |
Thank you for coming. |
| 00:03:40 |
-How do you do, Doctor? |
| 00:03:42 |
And this is Johann and Stefan. |
| 00:04:20 |
I wanted to kill myself |
| 00:04:23 |
but I realized I would be killing |
| 00:04:29 |
And then, as soon as I saw them, |
| 00:04:33 |
Please don't ask us to choose between them. |
| 00:04:40 |
Well, they don't appear to be sharing |
| 00:04:45 |
Though there are parts of the brain, |
| 00:04:48 |
that aren't completely separated. |
| 00:04:51 |
-We won't know until we get on there. |
| 00:04:55 |
Well, first we have to solve the problem |
| 00:05:00 |
-Exsan... |
| 00:05:03 |
It's the reason why cranial separations |
| 00:05:09 |
You see, babes have very little blood, |
| 00:05:14 |
and unless I can figure out a way |
| 00:05:20 |
I can't risk performing this operation. |
| 00:06:31 |
I'll do it. |
| 00:06:35 |
Good. |
| 00:06:37 |
Thank you. I'll notify the doctor in Germany. |
| 00:06:39 |
We'll schedule the operation |
| 00:06:43 |
Make it 2. Make it 4. |
| 00:06:47 |
Still haven't figured out |
| 00:06:50 |
I'm working on it. |
| 00:07:09 |
Number 12, 14. Number 13, 27. |
| 00:07:12 |
Number 12, 14. Number 13, 27. |
| 00:07:17 |
Number 15, 33. |
| 00:07:20 |
All right, class, |
| 00:07:28 |
All right, how many did you get right? |
| 00:07:30 |
Kathy? |
| 00:07:32 |
-25. |
| 00:07:36 |
-Mark? |
| 00:07:37 |
Good for you, Mark. You got them all right. |
| 00:07:40 |
Benjamin? |
| 00:07:44 |
Benjamin, how many did you get right? |
| 00:07:47 |
-None. |
| 00:07:49 |
Why, Benjamin, that's wonderful. |
| 00:07:52 |
Not nine, Mss Williamson. He got none. |
| 00:08:10 |
You'd think he'd get at least one right. |
| 00:08:13 |
He got one right last time, 'cause he was |
| 00:08:18 |
Hey, Carson, we know |
| 00:08:21 |
but did you hear what they sad on Cronkite |
| 00:08:24 |
You're the dumbest kid in the world. |
| 00:08:29 |
He hit him! He hit him! |
| 00:08:31 |
Bennie, how could this have been |
| 00:08:33 |
Well, it was almost an accident. |
| 00:08:36 |
Mom, I never would have hit him |
| 00:08:41 |
The boy had 5 stitches, |
| 00:08:46 |
I'm not sure how to discipline your son, |
| 00:08:48 |
I'll handle it. |
| 00:08:50 |
I'm also very concerned about his grades. |
| 00:09:00 |
So, what happened? You weren't getting |
| 00:09:03 |
Boston was easier. |
| 00:09:06 |
Well, I ain't asking you, either, |
| 00:09:08 |
You weren't meant to be a failure, Bennie. |
| 00:09:11 |
-And you can control your temper. |
| 00:09:13 |
And you can bring your grades up, too. |
| 00:09:15 |
-I'm dumb, Mother. |
| 00:09:17 |
You're a smart boy. |
| 00:09:21 |
You just ain't using that smartness. |
| 00:09:24 |
Now, if you keep getting grades like that, |
| 00:09:26 |
you're gonna spend the rest of your life |
| 00:09:28 |
And that ain't the life I want for you. |
| 00:09:31 |
That ain't the life God wants for you, ether. |
| 00:09:34 |
Yes, Mother. |
| 00:09:37 |
I'm gonna have to have a talk with him |
| 00:09:42 |
No, no. He invited us |
| 00:09:46 |
Why don't you and I go? |
| 00:09:51 |
Hey, Mother. You're home early. |
| 00:09:55 |
They didn't need me |
| 00:09:58 |
You finish your homework? |
| 00:10:01 |
Most of it. |
| 00:10:03 |
Bennie, you're gonna run your eyes |
| 00:10:08 |
-You do your homework? |
| 00:10:11 |
-Curtis, help your brother. |
| 00:10:18 |
Mother, I need help. |
| 00:10:20 |
-What you need help with? |
| 00:10:25 |
-Well, what don't you understand? |
| 00:10:31 |
Could you read this for me? |
| 00:10:35 |
I need new reading glasses. |
| 00:10:39 |
It's about Thomas Jefferson |
| 00:10:43 |
-What is this word? |
| 00:10:50 |
''self... Self... |
| 00:10:55 |
''And it...'' |
| 00:11:00 |
-Self... |
| 00:11:05 |
Can you tell me what them |
| 00:11:10 |
Sure. |
| 00:11:12 |
-I mean, can you read them? |
| 00:11:27 |
Looks like I ain't the only one around here |
| 00:11:33 |
Tina, Sarah, Kathy, Bennie. |
| 00:11:41 |
Congratulations. You're doing much better. |
| 00:11:47 |
Yes! |
| 00:11:50 |
Well, it's an improvement, all right. |
| 00:11:56 |
You're a smart boy. |
| 00:11:59 |
-But you both can do better. |
| 00:12:01 |
-How? I don't know how. |
| 00:12:04 |
We're just gonna have to use |
| 00:12:06 |
I don't got one. |
| 00:12:08 |
Of course you do. |
| 00:12:11 |
-Not me. |
| 00:12:14 |
Listen to me. If I say, |
| 00:12:17 |
''Once upon a time, |
| 00:12:20 |
don't you see a little blue mouse? |
| 00:12:23 |
-No. |
| 00:12:25 |
-Mother, my brain's too dumb. |
| 00:12:28 |
It is, Mom. |
| 00:12:30 |
You got all the world in here. |
| 00:12:35 |
You just got to see beyond |
| 00:12:45 |
-What is this, a race of some kind? |
| 00:12:48 |
You act as though this were your last meal. |
| 00:12:50 |
We've got to write your |
| 00:12:53 |
Oh, well, in that case, |
| 00:12:56 |
-Don't choke. |
| 00:12:59 |
I never saw it to fail. |
| 00:13:00 |
Every time we sit down to eat, |
| 00:13:03 |
I know how to stop it, Daddy. |
| 00:13:08 |
-Not a bad idea. |
| 00:13:11 |
He wants me to come up |
| 00:13:13 |
-Isn't that great? |
| 00:13:16 |
Joe's got a license. We could drive. |
| 00:13:18 |
The last time he took a trip, |
| 00:13:21 |
Whose car is he figuring on wrecking |
| 00:13:23 |
Yours. |
| 00:13:25 |
-He thought... |
| 00:13:27 |
But I wouldn't trust Joe Philips |
| 00:13:35 |
Please, Dad. I'll be careful. |
| 00:13:37 |
How can you be careful if he's driving? |
| 00:13:40 |
You never let me do anything. |
| 00:13:42 |
I'm not gonna let you do this. |
| 00:13:44 |
-You'd think I was a juvenile or something. |
| 00:13:48 |
-Now eat your dinner. |
| 00:13:52 |
Then excuse yourself and leave the table. |
| 00:14:18 |
Mother, come on, we'll be late for church. |
| 00:14:23 |
You all go on ahead without me, honey. |
| 00:14:27 |
Mama's having one of her days. |
| 00:14:31 |
All right. |
| 00:14:45 |
I'm reminded of the story |
| 00:14:51 |
who were surprised by bandits. |
| 00:14:55 |
You see, these thieves were terrible men. |
| 00:15:01 |
Bloodthirsty. Vicious. |
| 00:15:07 |
they slit their throats and laughed |
| 00:15:12 |
You all don't hear me. |
| 00:15:14 |
This poor doctor and his wife |
| 00:15:18 |
as the thieves chased them |
| 00:15:21 |
These missionaries' feet |
| 00:15:25 |
Their clothes were torn by brambles, |
| 00:15:27 |
and, finally, they came upon a great fortress, |
| 00:15:32 |
but the Bandit King was right behind them. |
| 00:15:37 |
The doctor ran up to the front door |
| 00:15:41 |
But it was locked. |
| 00:15:43 |
If only someone would let them in. |
| 00:15:48 |
And the doctor and his wife hid, but the |
| 00:15:54 |
There appeared to be nothing |
| 00:16:08 |
The Bandit King was after me, |
| 00:16:10 |
and a blue mouse came out |
| 00:16:13 |
And I got away. I saw it in my brain. |
| 00:16:16 |
That's good. |
| 00:16:20 |
But it was real, it was really real. |
| 00:16:22 |
-Did I say it wasn't real? |
| 00:16:24 |
-That's why it's called imagination, dummy. |
| 00:16:26 |
Watch your mouth, Curtis. |
| 00:16:29 |
Mother, I want to be a doctor. |
| 00:16:31 |
A missionary doctor, just like the one |
| 00:16:34 |
You can be anything you want to be |
| 00:16:38 |
as long as you're willing to work at it. |
| 00:16:41 |
That goes for you, too, Curtis. |
| 00:16:45 |
God will not abandon you. |
| 00:16:59 |
excuse me. |
| 00:17:04 |
I need to talk to someone. |
| 00:17:08 |
I have a darkness I can't control. |
| 00:17:12 |
Come with me, ma'am. |
| 00:17:23 |
I've spent my childhood in foster care. |
| 00:17:27 |
When my husband, Mr. Carson, marred me, |
| 00:17:32 |
-How old were you? |
| 00:17:37 |
We were happy. |
| 00:17:39 |
We had a lovely home, 2 beautiful boys. |
| 00:17:46 |
Then what? |
| 00:17:52 |
I don't like to talk about it. |
| 00:18:01 |
He had another wife and kids. |
| 00:18:09 |
When I found out, my life fell apart. |
| 00:18:12 |
When was this, Mrs. Carson? |
| 00:18:19 |
5 years back. |
| 00:18:22 |
But I couldn't leave my husband |
| 00:18:25 |
and I didn't know |
| 00:18:29 |
-Are you still together? |
| 00:18:33 |
I found out he was dealing drugs, |
| 00:18:37 |
-I've got a sister there. |
| 00:18:40 |
I got the house in the divorce, and I kept it. |
| 00:18:47 |
but I've been saving money in a cookie jar, |
| 00:18:50 |
and me and my boys |
| 00:18:54 |
-How do you support yourself? |
| 00:18:59 |
That's about all I can do. |
| 00:19:06 |
Nobody knows this. |
| 00:19:15 |
I'm so dumb, I can't even read. |
| 00:19:24 |
And I fear my boys |
| 00:19:30 |
And nothing's gonna work out. |
| 00:19:34 |
I try to fight these feelings. |
| 00:19:40 |
But, lately, I can't stop them. |
| 00:19:50 |
I even think about killing myself. |
| 00:19:55 |
Mrs. Carson, what would you say |
| 00:20:03 |
-No. |
| 00:20:04 |
-I can't afford to do anything like... |
| 00:20:09 |
We'll find the money. |
| 00:20:27 |
Boys, I'm gonna be going away |
| 00:20:30 |
What? What do you mean? |
| 00:20:32 |
-Where? |
| 00:20:34 |
I'm going back to Boston |
| 00:20:38 |
-Can't we come with you? |
| 00:20:40 |
You got school. You got homework. |
| 00:20:43 |
-So, you're just gonna leave us alone? |
| 00:20:48 |
Sister Scott is gonna come |
| 00:20:53 |
In the meantime, |
| 00:20:59 |
I want you both to learn |
| 00:21:02 |
-What? |
| 00:21:03 |
You can do it. |
| 00:21:05 |
Do you know how many there are? |
| 00:21:07 |
-That could take a year. |
| 00:21:10 |
Not that smart. Nobody can memorize them. |
| 00:21:13 |
I did, and I just went to the third grade. |
| 00:21:17 |
-But it's hard work. |
| 00:21:20 |
hard work ain't never hurt nobody. |
| 00:21:22 |
Besides, you ain't going outside to play |
| 00:21:25 |
Wait. Mother, please, no. |
| 00:21:27 |
Come on, Mother. |
| 00:21:39 |
-5 times 4. |
| 00:21:41 |
-No. |
| 00:21:44 |
This isn't a guessing game, Bennie. |
| 00:21:46 |
Bennie, listen to your brother. |
| 00:21:55 |
-Here you are, Mrs. Philiman. |
| 00:22:01 |
-Mildred? |
| 00:22:41 |
-Kathy? |
| 00:22:45 |
-Mark? |
| 00:22:47 |
excellent. |
| 00:22:49 |
Benjamin? |
| 00:22:51 |
-Benjamin? |
| 00:22:53 |
I didn't say you did. What's your score? |
| 00:22:58 |
24 out of 25. |
| 00:23:03 |
Sister Scott! Sister Scott! |
| 00:23:05 |
I got an A! |
| 00:23:06 |
I got an A. |
| 00:23:08 |
Sister Scott! Sister Scott! |
| 00:23:13 |
I got... Mother! |
| 00:23:18 |
-I missed you. I missed you. |
| 00:23:25 |
I know all my times tables. |
| 00:23:28 |
Let me see. I knew you could do it. |
| 00:23:33 |
I knew you could do it. |
| 00:23:45 |
Professor Burket, |
| 00:24:28 |
-Mrs. Carson. |
| 00:24:30 |
-The kitchen floor. |
| 00:24:34 |
It sparkles. |
| 00:24:37 |
Well, your last cleaning lady |
| 00:24:39 |
What I do, I do the best I can. |
| 00:24:43 |
The last cleaning lady was me. |
| 00:24:47 |
My late wife was very sick. |
| 00:24:52 |
I took care of her and not much else. |
| 00:24:56 |
-I'm sorry. |
| 00:25:01 |
Sr. |
| 00:25:05 |
-Did you read all these books? |
| 00:25:13 |
Just curious. |
| 00:25:16 |
Take the rest of your men off the post. |
| 00:25:18 |
They can stay with Corporal Dolan's family |
| 00:25:21 |
-Yes, sir. |
| 00:25:23 |
-you better stay there yourself. |
| 00:25:25 |
-Hey, why'd you do that for? |
| 00:25:27 |
You boys watch too much television. |
| 00:25:30 |
-Not that much. |
| 00:25:31 |
Don't worry about everybody else. |
| 00:25:35 |
From now on, you're gonna pick 3, |
| 00:25:41 |
-A week? |
| 00:25:43 |
And that's after you finish your homework. |
| 00:25:45 |
What are we gonna do |
| 00:25:47 |
I'm glad you asked. You're gonna go |
| 00:25:51 |
and, at the end of the week, |
| 00:25:52 |
you're gonna hand me a written report |
| 00:25:55 |
-2 books a week? |
| 00:25:57 |
-I can't even read one. |
| 00:25:58 |
-without television. |
| 00:26:01 |
Why you waste all that time |
| 00:26:03 |
If you used that time to develop |
| 00:26:06 |
it wouldn't be long before |
| 00:26:38 |
-Man, there's a lot of books in here. |
| 00:27:18 |
''Hearing the great roar made the young man |
| 00:27:22 |
''Maybe it was a trick. |
| 00:27:24 |
''Was there really a tiger, |
| 00:27:28 |
''Maybe there was a tiger |
| 00:27:32 |
''and he'd de like |
| 00:27:35 |
That's good, Bennie. That's real good. |
| 00:27:37 |
Mother, what's this word? |
| 00:27:45 |
I need to get new reading glasses. |
| 00:27:49 |
Ag... Ag... |
| 00:27:54 |
Agriculture. A-G-R-I-C-U-L-T-U-R-E. |
| 00:28:00 |
-Agriculture. |
| 00:28:03 |
Kathy. ''Combine.'' |
| 00:28:06 |
Combine. C-O-M-B-I-N-E. Combine. |
| 00:28:10 |
For a 20-point bonus, here's your toss-up. |
| 00:28:14 |
''there was a young lady from Perth. '' |
| 00:28:17 |
Limerick is in Ireland. |
| 00:28:21 |
Australia. |
| 00:28:22 |
Wow. How could they know so much? |
| 00:28:24 |
-Right, for 10 points. |
| 00:28:27 |
And, finally, for 10 points, |
| 00:28:40 |
Bennie, come on, we're gonna be late. |
| 00:28:59 |
excuse me. |
| 00:29:11 |
Okay, class, |
| 00:29:13 |
what about this one? |
| 00:29:22 |
Anybody? |
| 00:29:29 |
Yes, Benjamin, |
| 00:29:33 |
can you identify this rock? |
| 00:29:39 |
-It's obsidine. |
| 00:29:44 |
Do you know how it was made? |
| 00:29:45 |
Well, it was formed after a volcanic eruption, |
| 00:29:50 |
by the supercooling of the lava |
| 00:29:53 |
The volcano erupts, |
| 00:29:58 |
So, when it hits the water, |
| 00:30:02 |
and since that water is cold, |
| 00:30:06 |
and the surface glazes over, |
| 00:30:11 |
and that makes obsidine. |
| 00:30:18 |
May I see you after class? |
| 00:30:26 |
-What happened? |
| 00:30:28 |
What are you sorry for? |
| 00:30:32 |
Look at this. |
| 00:30:52 |
You know what that is? |
| 00:30:55 |
That's a whole other world, Benjamin. |
| 00:30:58 |
You just stepped into a whole other world. |
| 00:31:09 |

What potion had a sort of mixed flavor |

Benjamin is a boy of color. |
| 00:33:37 |
He has no father in his life. |
| 00:33:39 |
He comes to us |
| 00:33:42 |
There's no reason |
| 00:33:44 |
What's wrong with you kids? |

You should be ashamed. |

That speech your 8th-grade teacher gave |
| 00:35:47 |
I've finally saved up enough money |
| 00:35:48 |
to take back that house |
| 00:35:50 |
So, starting next fall, you're going |
| 00:36:15 |
Hey, Carl, you heard what Goodwill did |
| 00:36:19 |
-even the winos didn't want them? |
| 00:36:22 |
They gave them to New Blood over there. |
| 00:36:46 |
Do we have any money left? |
| 00:36:48 |
-What do you mean? |
| 00:36:52 |
-You got clothes for school. |
| 00:36:56 |
-Good clothes. |
| 00:36:58 |
I've seen the clothes them kids wear. |
| 00:37:02 |
No, they're not. |
| 00:37:04 |
I didn't say they weren't expensive. |
| 00:37:08 |
Most folks that wear cheap clothes |
| 00:37:12 |
The folks I work for, |
| 00:37:14 |
That's what I try to get you. |
| 00:37:16 |
Take Professor Burket. I wash his clothes |
| 00:37:22 |
Bennie, don't you be slamming around here, |
| 00:37:23 |
and don't you walk away |
| 00:37:41 |
Hey, Carl, they should use Carson's shirt |
| 00:37:45 |
-A chemistry lesson? |
| 00:37:46 |
'cause it smelled so bad it killed all |
| 00:37:51 |
They was breeding |
| 00:37:54 |
I think you're confusing that |
| 00:37:56 |
Her clothes are so raggedy, |
| 00:37:58 |
Your mama's so old, |
| 00:38:00 |
Your mama's so old, |
| 00:38:03 |
Your mama's so old, |
| 00:38:33 |
-Man, where we going? |
| 00:38:36 |
You got the money? |
| 00:38:39 |
-I need clothes for school. |
| 00:38:41 |
Not good enough for Hunter High. |
| 00:38:49 |
Come on. |
| 00:38:52 |
Jerome. |
| 00:38:56 |
This is my man. |
| 00:38:58 |
Give him the money. |
| 00:39:15 |
Okay. |
| 00:40:06 |
-Morning. |
| 00:40:10 |
Why aren't you wearing the pants I got you? |
| 00:40:14 |
I don't know. I didn't try them on. |
| 00:40:16 |
-Why not? |
| 00:40:18 |
What you mean, they're the wrong kind? |
| 00:40:21 |
That's too bad. |
| 00:40:24 |
I can't take them back. |
| 00:40:27 |
Well, that's too bad, |
| 00:40:28 |
I'm fixing this window myself, Bennie, |
| 00:40:32 |
That's your problem. |
| 00:40:33 |
Look, throw them away! |
| 00:40:35 |
You can't have |
| 00:40:37 |
-I can! I will! |
| 00:40:39 |
down this path. |
| 00:40:41 |
-Well, if I didn't know any better... |
| 00:40:43 |
-All you do is preach at me! Shut up! |
| 00:40:46 |
-What are you, crazy? |
| 00:40:49 |
I sad stop it! All right, all right! |
| 00:40:57 |
You can buy whatever you want. |
| 00:41:01 |
You pay the balls, |
| 00:41:05 |
I'll bring home every dime |
| 00:41:07 |
-What you got left, you keep for yourself. |
| 00:41:39 |
Hey, B. |
| 00:41:41 |
-What's this crap? |
| 00:41:44 |
Shut up. |
| 00:41:45 |
-You like this? You call this music? |
| 00:41:51 |
Hey, man, quit proving how stupid you are. |
| 00:41:58 |
-Go to hell, man. |
| 00:42:01 |
Get off me! |
| 00:42:08 |
Bennie, what did you do? |
| 00:42:12 |
Joe. |
| 00:42:17 |
Get a teacher or something. |
| 00:42:45 |
Lord. Lord, you have to |
| 00:42:49 |
Please. Please. Just take it. |
| 00:43:37 |
The protesters are here in Central Park, |
| 00:43:41 |
And there has been a significant showing... |
| 00:44:07 |
It is, in my opinion, the most amazing organ |
| 00:44:12 |
By stimulating one section of the brain |
| 00:44:16 |
you can bring back, verbatim, memories of |
| 00:44:23 |
Consider your own brains. |
| 00:44:25 |
They've absorbed and digested |
| 00:44:29 |
which is no small achievement. |
| 00:44:32 |
Your dreams are all possible |
| 00:44:37 |
We can describe it physically, |
| 00:44:38 |
but that won't give a clue |
| 00:44:42 |
Which is why I've devoted my life, |
| 00:44:46 |
How did you do that? |
| 00:44:48 |
A lot of time away from home, |
| 00:44:51 |
But dedication and intelligence |
| 00:44:55 |
You also need an incredible |
| 00:45:05 |
A brain surgeon? My goodness. |
| 00:45:10 |
-anything anybody else can do, Bennie. |
| 00:45:13 |
-Only you can do it better. |
| 00:45:15 |
Don't laugh at me, it's true. |
| 00:45:17 |
-Your grades are good? |
| 00:45:20 |
Now, tell me, how's that girlfriend of yours? |
| 00:45:35 |
-My mother says hi. |
| 00:45:39 |
You think she's coming |
| 00:45:42 |
Not if I'm not here. |
| 00:45:44 |
What? What are you talking about? |
| 00:45:46 |
Candy, you're a triple major. |
| 00:45:50 |
-Trouble? |
| 00:45:53 |
What am I doing here, anyway? |
| 00:45:54 |
You got a scholarship. |
| 00:45:57 |
Yeah, and everybody else here |
| 00:46:00 |
My grades are lousy, especially chemistry. |
| 00:46:04 |
If I don't pass this final exam, |
| 00:46:08 |
which means I can't be a doctor, |
| 00:46:09 |
-which is the only thing... |
| 00:46:12 |
What are you good at? |
| 00:46:14 |
What are you good at? When it comes |
| 00:46:18 |
I don't know. |
| 00:46:20 |
Reading. I'm good at reading. |
| 00:46:23 |
Instead, I got to sit through |
| 00:46:25 |
-8 hours a day... |
| 00:46:28 |
The professors don't care. |
| 00:46:29 |
-That'll only make things worse. |
| 00:46:36 |
Hey, what do I know? Maybe I'm just... |
| 00:46:39 |
No, no, no. No, you're right. |
| 00:46:43 |
-Thank you. |
| 00:46:54 |
-Joseph Lister. |
| 00:46:58 |

-The formula for methane. |
| 00:47:17 |
-Propane. |
| 00:48:24 |
Finish them. |
| 00:48:49 |
You don't need the book. |
| 00:48:51 |
You got the book inside you. |
| 00:49:25 |
Well, congratulations, Mr. Carson. |
| 00:49:31 |
everyone, open your test booklets. |
| 00:49:36 |
And begin. |
| 00:50:02 |
Maybe we should ask. Right? |
| 00:50:07 |
See you guys later. |
| 00:50:15 |
-What? What? What? |
| 00:50:22 |
Now, you know, |
| 00:50:25 |
you shouldn't marry me |
| 00:50:27 |
Is that a promise? |
| 00:50:35 |
Johns Hopkins accepts only 2 students |
| 00:50:41 |
This year, we have 1 25 applicants. |
| 00:50:45 |
So, why we should take you? |
| 00:50:49 |
I have good grades |
| 00:50:52 |
As do all of our applicants. |
| 00:50:54 |
Johns Hopkins is my first choice. |
| 00:51:00 |
You have confidence. |
| 00:51:06 |
But tell me something, |
| 00:51:09 |
why did you decide |
| 00:51:14 |
The brain... |
| 00:51:25 |
It's a miracle. |
| 00:51:28 |
Do you believe in miracles? |
| 00:51:31 |
Not a lot of doctors do. |
| 00:51:35 |
I mean, we study reports, |
| 00:51:37 |
we cut open bodes, |
| 00:51:42 |
But the fact is, there's still so many things |
| 00:51:48 |
I believe we're all capable of |
| 00:51:54 |
I believe we're all blessed |
| 00:51:59 |
Look at Handel. |
| 00:52:01 |
I mean, how can he compose something |
| 00:52:07 |
This is the channel, |
| 00:52:08 |
the source, the inspiration |
| 00:52:15 |
-You like classical music? |
| 00:52:18 |
I do, too. |
| 00:52:21 |
I think we'll get on quite well together. |
| 00:52:34 |
Nursing supervisor to second floor, please. |
| 00:52:47 |
Good morning. |
| 00:52:54 |
Good morning. |
| 00:52:56 |
You're late. Mr. Schwartz in 301 |
| 00:53:00 |
No, I'm not an orderly. I'm the new intern. |
| 00:53:05 |
Report to Dr. Farmington for rounds. |
| 00:53:08 |
Dr. Carl, please call 2-4-8-8. |
| 00:53:14 |
This young man has a disease |
| 00:53:17 |
It's very rare and causes multiple tumors |
| 00:53:21 |
He has his second surgery tomorrow, |
| 00:53:27 |
Carson, draw some blood. |
| 00:53:29 |
Doctor, according to his charts, |
| 00:53:33 |
-I don't think... |
| 00:53:35 |
You do as I say. |
| 00:53:45 |
Don't think you're special, Carson, |
| 00:53:46 |
simply 'cause there's no one like you |
| 00:53:50 |
If you don't change your attitude, |
| 00:53:51 |
I'll get you kicked out of neurosurgery |
| 00:54:02 |
-Are you fished? |
| 00:54:04 |
Fine. |
| 00:54:19 |
Hey, buddy. Let's get you going here. |
| 00:54:43 |
How was it? |
| 00:54:48 |
Bennie? |
| 00:54:54 |
Ben? |
| 00:55:09 |
Good morning. |
| 00:55:19 |
Good morning, Nurse Smith. |
| 00:55:34 |
He was ht with a baseball bat. |
| 00:55:37 |
Please tell him that all the neurosurgeons |
| 00:55:40 |
I am a resident. It is illegal for me to operate |
| 00:55:46 |
I can't reach Dr. Farmington, |
| 00:55:50 |
If someone doesn't operate |
| 00:55:55 |
Go for it. |
| 00:55:59 |
I'm not qualified to do a lobectomy. |
| 00:56:10 |
Thy will be done, Lord. Amen. |

Radiology, please call to page. |
| 00:57:08 |
Dr. Udvarhelyi wants to see you |
| 00:57:19 |
You operated on this man |
| 00:57:25 |
You put this hospital |
| 00:57:29 |
Had this man died, |
| 00:57:38 |
You did very well, Dr. Carson. |
| 00:57:40 |
I congratulate you |
| 00:57:42 |
in spite of its possible consequences. |
| 00:57:54 |
Okay, come on, move, move. She's seizing. |
| 00:57:57 |
-I want you to see it, too. |
| 00:58:00 |
Okay, okay. |
| 00:58:02 |
They'll give you something |
| 00:58:03 |
-I don't have... |
| 00:58:05 |
-It's getting worse, Doctor. |
| 00:58:08 |
Ben, have a look at this. |
| 00:58:10 |
The patent's a 4-year-old |
| 00:58:13 |
She's been having seizures |
| 00:58:15 |
She now has about 100 a day. |
| 00:58:18 |
They only affect her right side, |
| 00:58:21 |
she's forgetting how to walk, talk, eat, learn. |
| 00:58:26 |
She's been diagnosed with Rasmussen's. |
| 00:58:29 |
Her parents have been told |
| 00:58:43 |
It's the only time she's seizure-free. |
| 00:58:46 |
When she's awake, |
| 00:58:50 |
She's been on 35 different medications |
| 00:58:55 |
Sometimes they're so strong, |
| 00:59:00 |
She's beautiful. |
| 00:59:03 |
One doctor called her |
| 00:59:07 |
Well, I'm here to tell you that she's not. |
| 00:59:09 |
Do you really think you can help? |
| 00:59:13 |
I can try. |
| 00:59:23 |
The left side of Cynthia's brain |
| 00:59:27 |
beating up on her own twin. |
| 00:59:29 |
Now, you control that kid, |
| 00:59:33 |
How do we do that? |
| 00:59:34 |
There's an operation |
| 00:59:36 |
It involves removing |
| 00:59:40 |
-What? |
| 00:59:43 |
-with half a brain? |
| 00:59:46 |
We don't know why, but a child's brain |
| 00:59:52 |
It's as if the brain cells haven't decided |
| 00:59:56 |
They take on the functions |
| 00:59:59 |
and then eventually |
| 01:00:02 |
-You think there's a chance this will work? |
| 01:00:08 |
But it is a gamble. |
| 01:00:12 |
If Cynthia survives, |
| 01:00:17 |
The left side of the brain |
| 01:00:20 |
She may lose her ability to speak. |
| 01:00:23 |
Have you done |
| 01:00:31 |
No. I have not. |
| 01:00:49 |
How you feeling? |
| 01:00:52 |
Wishing it were 4 months from now. |
| 01:00:54 |
Why? So we can get less sleep |
| 01:00:58 |
Good night. |
| 01:01:01 |
Your mother called today. |
| 01:01:04 |
She sad the movers are coming in a week. |
| 01:01:09 |
Me, too. |
| 01:01:13 |
So, are you ready? |
| 01:01:16 |
For my mother or 2 more babes? |
| 01:01:21 |
For tomorrow. |
| 01:01:31 |
Scalpel. |

We are now exposing the skull. |
| 01:01:43 |
Put more pressure on the edge, please. |
| 01:01:49 |

| 01:02:02 |
Please change to a footplate. |

Cynthia, can you hear me? |
| 01:03:49 |
Can you open your eyes, sweetheart? |
| 01:03:51 |
Let's see those pretty eyes, sweetheart. |
| 01:03:55 |
It's time to wake up, Cynthia. |
| 01:04:00 |
Can you open your eyes? |
| 01:04:03 |
Let's see those pretty eyes. |
| 01:04:10 |
I don't know why she's not waking up, Ben. |
| 01:04:24 |
How is she? |
| 01:04:27 |
It took twice as long as we thought. |
| 01:04:29 |
She lost 9 pints of blood, |
| 01:04:34 |
But she came through just fine. |
| 01:04:37 |
Though it might be a while before we know |
| 01:04:41 |
Mommy? |
| 01:04:44 |
-Daddy? |
| 01:04:54 |
I love you. |
| 01:05:02 |
Thank you. |
| 01:05:08 |
Baby. |
| 01:05:09 |
She talks, she hears, |
| 01:05:12 |
There are no additional signs of weakness. |
| 01:05:14 |
-Dr. Carson... |
| 01:05:16 |
The brain's a miraculous organ. |
| 01:05:19 |
How long have you been practicing? |
| 01:05:21 |
I completed my residency 3 years ago, |
| 01:05:25 |
Are there any more seizures, Doctor? |
| 01:05:28 |
So far, the seizures have subsided. |
| 01:05:34 |
Grandma! |
| 01:05:37 |
-Grandma! |
| 01:05:42 |
Baby. |
| 01:05:45 |
-Your daddy... |
| 01:05:50 |
You're gonna love it here. |
| 01:06:03 |
Ben. |
| 01:06:06 |
Ben. Honey, wake up. Wake up. |
| 01:06:12 |
I gotta go to the hospital. |
| 01:06:15 |
I gotta go to the hospital. |
| 01:06:18 |
Oh, no. |
| 01:06:23 |
Get ready to crossmatch |
| 01:06:25 |
-Yes, Doctor. |
| 01:06:27 |
It's best you wait out here, Dr. Carson. |
| 01:06:30 |
How do you feel? |
| 01:06:34 |
Okay, ma'am, |
| 01:06:37 |
when we take your blood pressure. |
| 01:06:39 |
Okay, hook up the fetal monitor. |
| 01:06:41 |
Oxygen to help you breathe. |
| 01:06:46 |
Breathing okay? |
| 01:06:48 |
Just take it slow. You're doing fine. |
| 01:07:10 |
Your wife will be fine, Dr. Carson. |
| 01:07:16 |
But I'm sorry to say we lost the babes. |
| 01:07:24 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 01:08:16 |
There was nothing I could do. |
| 01:08:29 |
There was nothing I could do. |
| 01:08:42 |
What time is it? |
| 01:08:44 |
11:30. |
| 01:08:48 |
-Shouldn't you be on duty? |
| 01:08:53 |
I mean neurosurgery. |
| 01:08:56 |
-Your patents need you. |
| 01:09:02 |
I have you. Go to work. |
| 01:09:12 |
-Down this hall. |
| 01:09:14 |
Doctor, where have you been? |
| 01:09:17 |
-I've been calling your house all morning. |
| 01:09:50 |
That's... |
| 01:09:51 |
Good girl. Hey. |
| 01:09:54 |
She's a good girl. Yes, you are. |
| 01:10:06 |
She's a big girl. |
| 01:10:12 |
Okay. I love both of those hands. |
| 01:10:17 |
That's very good. Very nice. |
| 01:10:32 |
How are you feeling? |
| 01:10:47 |
How are you feeling now? |
| 01:12:24 |
Help me, Lord. |
| 01:12:36 |
Ben, I've just been told you want |
| 01:12:39 |
The sooner we operate, |
| 01:12:41 |
I know, I know, but they'll bleed out. |
| 01:12:46 |
Look, you're the best pediatric neurosurgeon |
| 01:12:49 |
-You may think I'm the best. |
| 01:12:52 |
If you can't find a solution, no one can. |
| 01:13:23 |
Just like old times, huh? |
| 01:13:27 |
You and me in the kitchen, |
| 01:13:30 |
except in Detroit, |
| 01:13:33 |
Yes, we did. You're looking at her. |
| 01:13:39 |
So proud of my boys. |
| 01:13:43 |
Curtis, an engineer, you, a doctor. |
| 01:13:52 |
You're still thinking |
| 01:13:57 |
Sometimes I feel like... |
| 01:14:01 |
I don't know, Mother. |
| 01:14:09 |
Like a faucet that's all dried up. |
| 01:14:14 |
I felt that way plenty of times. |
| 01:14:17 |
The thing is, |
| 01:14:20 |
and move that thing out the way. |
| 01:14:22 |
I don't know what's blocking it. |
| 01:14:25 |
Sure you do. |
| 01:14:31 |
You may not be able to bring back |
| 01:14:37 |
but, even if you fail, |
| 01:14:46 |
Bennie. |
| 01:14:51 |
You can do this. Sure you can. |
| 01:14:58 |
You got all the world in here. |
| 01:15:04 |
You just gotta see beyond |
| 01:15:10 |
Yes. Come on. |
| 01:15:15 |
-Yeah. |
| 01:16:12 |
-Hello? |
| 01:16:18 |
First off, we'll need to have the room wired |
| 01:16:21 |
in case there's an electrical failure. |
| 01:16:24 |
2 anesthesia monitors, |
| 01:16:27 |
enough people on each team |
| 01:16:31 |
We'll need an anesthesiology team, |
| 01:16:35 |
a team of plastic surgeons, |
| 01:16:38 |
And we'll need to figure out how to fit |
| 01:16:43 |
Each team must rehearse |
| 01:16:46 |
and each team must develop scenarios |
| 01:16:49 |
for the worst possible things |
| 01:16:51 |
If one baby des, |
| 01:16:55 |
and give all shared tissue |
| 01:16:58 |
Cardiothoracic will start their procedures |
| 01:17:10 |
Hello, again, Peter, Augusta. |
| 01:17:16 |
Your sons' blood vessels |
| 01:17:18 |
with only so much blood to lose. |
| 01:17:21 |
Now, if we can turn off the faucets, |
| 01:17:27 |
The only way to do this |
| 01:17:30 |
-Stop their... |
| 01:17:33 |
It's been used by cardiovascular surgeons |
| 01:17:36 |
It's just never been applied |
| 01:17:39 |
Now, we can do it in infants for an hour |
| 01:17:43 |
-But that hour is critical. |
| 01:17:47 |
We'll stop their hearts, |
| 01:17:49 |
then spend that hour |
| 01:17:52 |
so that when their hearts start again, |
| 01:17:55 |
there won't be |
| 01:17:58 |
All in one hour? |
| 01:18:00 |
Which is why |
| 01:18:04 |
and why we need to pray. |
| 01:18:07 |
-You pray, Doctor? |
| 01:18:26 |
I'm removing the pericardium |
| 01:18:46 |
Cardo is done. All yours, Ben. |
| 01:19:00 |
My light, please. |
| 01:19:13 |
Scalpel. |
| 01:19:37 |
I've opened the dura and revealed |
| 01:19:41 |
I'm going to start separation now, |
| 01:19:54 |
There's a lot of bleeding. |
| 01:19:58 |
Close it up. We'll try a different area. |
| 01:20:04 |
Vital signs are stable. |
| 01:20:12 |
Lord, it's like a lake of blood, it's huge. |
| 01:20:19 |
Stitch. |
| 01:20:26 |
We have to start hypothermic arrest. |
| 01:20:28 |
Ben, we can't stop the hearts right now. |
| 01:20:32 |
If we do it now, |
| 01:20:34 |
If we don't stop the hearts, they'll bleed out. |
| 01:20:37 |
-Start cooling the blood. |
| 01:20:43 |
Prepare to inject the saline coolant solution |
| 01:20:54 |
Aortic cross-clamp. |
| 01:21:01 |
Cardiologic needle. |
| 01:21:06 |
Blood cooling to 20 degrees. |
| 01:21:11 |
The hearts are stopped. |
| 01:21:14 |
Okay. We have one hour to finish separation, |
| 01:21:17 |
rebuild the severed veins |
| 01:21:21 |
Pick up. |
| 01:21:24 |
Bipolar. More suction, please. |
| 01:21:35 |
Dr. Wong, call the page operator. |
| 01:21:39 |
I'm now separating the sagittal sinus. |
| 01:21:47 |
Okay. Prepare for separation. |
| 01:21:49 |
Right. |
| 01:21:54 |
Set. |
| 01:21:56 |
I'm ready to go. |
| 01:21:58 |
All right, on my mark. |
| 01:22:01 |
3, 2, 1, separate. |
| 01:22:07 |
-Slowly. |
| 01:22:11 |
Get ready with the drapes. |
| 01:22:18 |
Get that drape, too. |
| 01:22:20 |
-Go ahead, hang it. |
| 01:22:22 |
I got the drapes. |
| 01:22:28 |
You adjust the drape? |
| 01:22:31 |
-Anesthesia? How does it look? |
| 01:22:41 |
Start the restructuring of the torcula. |
| 01:22:55 |
This is taking 3 times as long |
| 01:22:59 |
It's just too darn small. |
| 01:23:02 |
Pressure's coming down, Ben. |
| 01:23:14 |
Done with vascular reconstruction. |
| 01:23:17 |
-Turn on the pump. |
| 01:23:18 |
-Start re-warming the blood. |
| 01:23:29 |
I don't think I can do it in time. |
| 01:23:34 |
1 minute, 30 seconds, Doctor. |
| 01:23:54 |
You don't need the book. |
| 01:23:56 |
You got the book inside you. |
| 01:24:13 |
Done. |
| 01:24:15 |
Start the pumps. Warm the blood. |
| 01:24:19 |
Starting the pumps. |
| 01:24:26 |
Get ready to start the heart, baby one. |
| 01:24:31 |
Paddles in, baby 2. |
| 01:24:35 |
Clear, baby 1. |
| 01:24:36 |
Okay. Do it. |
| 01:24:41 |
Baby 2. Charge to 10. |
| 01:24:47 |
Clear. All right, do it. |
| 01:24:58 |
Looks like sinus rhythm. |
| 01:25:10 |
-Start closing up the chest. |
| 01:25:14 |
Begin closing the dura, Dr. Long. |
| 01:25:19 |
Closing, Ben. |
| 01:25:22 |
Stitch, please. |
| 01:25:26 |
Stitch, please. |
| 01:25:29 |
Someone let the parents know |
| 01:25:32 |
Yes, Doctor. |
| 01:25:35 |
-Close them up. Dr. Long? |
| 01:25:40 |
Disconnect my light, please. |
| 01:25:43 |
Light, please. |
| 01:25:47 |
Neuro's clear. |
| 01:25:51 |
Thank you, Ben. Plastics, stepping in. |
| 01:26:26 |
Ultrasound tech to Labor 4, please. |
| 01:26:28 |
Peter. |
| 01:26:34 |
Doctor? |
| 01:26:37 |
Which child would you like to see first? |
| 01:26:41 |
Thank you. Thank you. |
| 01:26:45 |
Thank you. |
| 01:26:59 |
-Good. |
| 01:27:01 |
I'm okay. |
| 01:27:03 |
-Okay. |
| 01:27:05 |
Okay. |
| 01:27:07 |
-All right. |
| 01:27:08 |
Fantastic. Nice work. |
| 01:27:14 |
Good job. |
| 01:27:16 |
Ben, congratulations. Incredible job. |
| 01:27:20 |

Nice work, Dr. Carson. |
| 01:28:31 |
Ladies and gentlemen, if you can give |
| 01:28:33 |
he'll be happy to answer |
| 01:28:35 |
as soon as he steps up to the podium. |
| 01:28:37 |
I always sad, |
| 01:28:41 |
-only you can do it better. |
| 01:28:44 |
That goes for you, too, Mother. |
| 01:28:47 |
-I love you. |
