Over the years my mothers steadfast faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or when I found myself faced with my own medical scare. – Benjamin Carson

The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that theyre going to do better. Thats why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. Theres nobody I dont say that to. – Benjamin Carson
