Dr. Ben Carson seemed to have risen to popularity due to the conjoined twins he separated in 1987. Being the first to do so and also a Black neurosurgeon coupled with his inspirational background somehow made the ovation last longer than it should be.

The set of conjoined twins separated were Patrick and Benjamin Binder from Ulm in Germany.

Now, to what happened to them. After the surgery, the twins were permanently disabled and were taken to a disabled people's home by their parents.

Although one of them is late, the second is likely to remain there for the rest of his life.

Op. Post the source of this news na. I'm interested about this particular topic.

I researched out of curiosity.. its from different sources

So what's this supposed to teach us?? That he didn't do a good job??

Complainers and haters are not my friend!

so what's the essence of separating them surgically

So all that energy used to separate those kids was for nothing??

I have seen it before, I believed until I found out the truth

Lessons have to be learnt from somewhere. Other scientists have learnt a great deal from the effects caused by the surgery.

"gifted hands." one of my favorite books.

To the author and OP,who even told you all surgeries will give you a perfect result; no surgery is without complications. He must have counselled the parents on the prognosis (outcome, that is to say). I'm sure he didn't bundle the twins to the theatre; he had informed consent of the parents. This post is nothing but a defamation of character born out of ignorance.

WTF are you saying? the separated Twins are the Binder twins and not the Hogans'

it's obvious u are under the influence of alcohol and that's why u are contradicting yourself. U said they are not and now u say they are.

splenzard:

when u asked me a question I gave reference cos am sure of myself. U are saying rubbish, without any reference. That's an attitude of a drunk fellow. Check out your comments, it's not even your fault, it's mine for even wasting my precious time.

Baba na wa for you o. The picture of the two cojoined twins are the Binders (Patrick And Benjamin), while the picture of the grown twins are the Hogans. the picture is false as the conjoined twins are different from the grown up twins.

is that too difficult to understand?

That part of the story is hushed but it's the truth. The twins never fully recovered.

The fact still remains that Ben Carson performed the first successful separation of siamese twins joined at the cranium. It's a breakthrough operation in the field of pediatric neurosurgery.

The deal was to separate them alive, which was achieved. Patrick slipped into a coma shortly after their return to Germany and didn't come out of it. Benjamin is still alive.
