Did anyone watch the Ben Carson movie on TNT?

My son and I watched this tonight and it was such an inspiring movie. My son read about his life in school. I have been feeling really tired and burnt-out lately at my job and watching this movie has really made me appreciate why I chose to become a nurse. I sat there and watched everyone in the operating room performing separate jobs but yet working as ONE TEAM. It made me cry:crying2:. I love what I do and realize that each of us play a big role in people's life and you can do anything you put your mind to. Thanks

I didn't know about it to catch it in time... I just happened to see this on CNN - http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/02/carson.bio/index.html?iref=mpstoryview. Sounds very interesting, hopefully it will show again!

They have played the movie three times so far tonight, I'm sure it will come on again.

I loved it. But had I ever raised a hand at my mother, and he was about to hit her with a hammer, I wouldn't have been alive to tell the story. My mom would have knocked me straight to hell!! lol

I remember reading this book when I was young. My mother bought it for me. He also has a second book too. I wish I saw the movie but then that is what HULU is for! LOL

I think it was a very nice movie, and make me feel that whatever we want to do, to get, to improve in ourselves and in our careers we can do it....it was very inspirational

I know right? I was shocked to see that happen.

I saw this last night, too. I caught it really late at night so I didn't go to sleep until about 3 am lol. I found it very inspiring as well.

If I can attribute any based on a true story movie to my desire to become a nurse, I would say Patch Adams.

I really liked it tho I got into it about halfway thru. I know he was a neurosurgeon but then his babies died and he became a pediatric neurosurgeon? Is that right?

I believe he started practicing pediatrics when he performed surgery on the girl who had chronic seizures, this was before his babies died, I think.
