Dr. Ben Carson once stabbed a man, who only survived because the knife hit a metal belt buckle. "He was terrified, but I was more horrified than he was, because I realized that I was trying to kill somebody over nothing." says Dr. Carson. "I started contemplating my life... The only place I was going was jail, reform school, or the grave. And I didn't want that to happen."
