GOP presidential contender Ben Carson recently recounted a time when he was personally held at gunpoint.
The famed neurosurgeon was a guest on Sirius XM Radio when he revisited
the incident that once happened during a visit to a Popeye’s fast food restaurant:
“I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeye’s organization in Baltimore. Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs. And I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter.'”
The comments come after Carson has received some criticism for describing how he would’ve
confronted the Oregon mass shooter:
“Not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say, ‘Hey guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he can’t get us all.’”
The Epic Comment Ben Carson Made When a Guy Stuck a Gun In His Ribs
Yeah, go shoot the guy behind the counter. Does Ben Carson sound like a brave man to anyone? He sounds extraordinarily hypocritical to me.
Did Carson operate on your brain and leave a television in there by mistake?
Possibly, because I've heard that not all of his surgeries turned out so well.

Hmmm... that works out to 03.5% of the 17,000 operations.
How many of you can say 3/10ths of one percent of your work resulted in some kind of error?
Throughout his career at Hopkins, Carson, 61, has performed as many as 17,000 brain surgeries on children in the United States and all over the world. His last surgery was performed on Thursday.
Retiring Dr. Ben Carson Looks Back on Years of Surgery
Now by the way... Dr. Carson will be the FIRST one to admit that he and 90% of the physicians waste $850 billion a year all because they are fearful of
lawsuits...brought by ignorant people and greedy lawyers!
The facts are that Carson and other physicians by the way that don't work for the Federal government because those doctors can't be sued due to the 1946 Federal Tort Act, are well aware that the $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, etc. ALL because of fear of lawsuits have a direct effect on insurance premiums!
Who pays these premiums? Idiots like you that have NO idea of how the health care industry works and have BEGGED for single payer health insurance.
WELL guess what dodo birds.... YOU get it you won't be able to SUE the doctor because of 1946 Federal Tort ACT!
http://www.jacksonhealthcare.com/media/8968/defensivemedicine_ebook_final.pdf
Proof is 90% of physicians surveyed say they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine in US at $650 to $850 billion per year.
--- Emergency medicine, primary care, and OB/GYN physicians are most likely to practice defensive medicine.
--- 79 to 83% of surgeons and OB/GYNs have been named in lawsuits.
"Physicians contracted by the federal government practice significantly less defensive medicine as they are protected against lawsuits by the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act. "
-- BUT........Only 48% practice defensive medicine compared to 92% of non-government physicians.
Consider that fact that of the physicians interviewed 52% DID NOT practice defensive medicine!
Who were they? Doctors contracted by federal government!
WHY did these doctors NOT practice "defensive medicine"??? 1946 Tort reform!
So why not tax lawyers like ACA taxed tanning salons because tanning caused cancer...then
tax lawyers 10% because THEY ARE DIRECTLY related to the fear of lawsuits hence defensive medicine!
But YOU idiots that don't do any research. Don't find out that
Talk to a doctor about medical malpractice, and he or she is likely to tell you this:
Patients don’t necessarily sue because a doctor made a mistake, they sue because they got a bad outcome.
A report released today by the New England Journal of Medicine bears this out.
It finds that in a given year, 7.4% of doctors (on average) get sued by patients,
but only 20% of those claims (on average) result in some sort of payment.
Researchers from Harvard, USC and the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica examined malpractice claims against nearly 41,000 doctors who were covered by a single insurance company from 1991 to 2005. They found that claims against doctors in low-risk specialties (such as pediatrics and psychiatry) fell over the course of the study, while claims against doctors in high-risk specialties (mainly surgeons) peaked from 1995 to 2000.
So, which doctors were most likely to be sued? Neurosurgeons topped the list, with 19.1% of them facing a claim each year. They were followed by thoracic-cardiovascular surgeons (18.9%) and general surgery (15.3%). Rounding out the top 10 specialties were orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, gastroenterology, obstetrics & gynecology, urology, pulmonary medicine and oncology.
Neurosurgeons are most likely to be sued; psychiatrists face smallest lawsuit threat
Just goes to show that Carson would NEVER be able to work on idiots like you because YOU ARE BRAINLESS! Retarded already!
Get some facts before you open stupid mouths and let CRAP out!
