Girl living normally after half her brain was removed to stop Rasmussen's encephalitis. Obligatory comparison to our commander in chief elided because... well... this is kinda cool and freaky and stands on its own, and frankly it sounds like she's doing better than him.

Ben Carson is known for, among other things, performing this surgery (called a cerebral hemispherectomy). He also has a scholarship program called the
Carson Scholars program. Honestly, reading about him reminds me of just how little I've accomplished here at the keyboard.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
