nice, hi-five!
ugh. ugh. 4 more dead.
ok, not bad. 1 dead and 1 handicapped.
so, to me, thats not very great. and when I read further articles, there were plenty of drs who were critical of carson and his methodology.
but by all means, keep "regurgitating" the standard media story.
Your posted analysis here is ridiculous. And I have about as low an opinion of Carson as possible.
These surgeries are all extremely risky surgeries, with a low chance of (what you perceive as) "success". He may well be running ahead of expectation with the superficially unimpressive results that he has achieved. You can't just post outcomes without posting more info about how and where each set was conjoined and what the chance of a good outcome was thought to be prior to the procedure.
I'm also certain that all the parents were informed that the chance of a poor outcome and/or death was very high. They likely consented because a small chance of a normal life was preferable to a life of being the joined at the head (or whatever the case may have been).
Your conclusion "so, to me, thats not very great" is about as silly as "I like the guys who don't get captured". I get that you read a wikipedia article, but it's clear that the issue is more complicated than you realize.
The above notwithstanding, at least we can agree that Carson is an idiot. An idiot savant perhaps, but an idiot nonetheless.
