In 1987, he successfully performed the first separation of craniopagus twins conjoined at the back of the head. Carson was raised to love reading and education. He graduated from Yale University and earned his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. He and his wife are the proud parents of three adult sons and eight grandchildren.
