In a newly published book, “A Doctor in the House: My Life With Ben Carson,” his wife, Lacene “Candy” Carson, writes that when she was pregnant with their second son, the now-retired neurosurgeon delivered him in the bathroom of their home after she went into premature labor — using a hair clip to cut the umbilical cord. She wrote,

“Ben dashed into the bathroom just in time to catch BJ before he fully emerged, holding the baby in one hand while he caught the afterbirth in the other.”

MacGyver-like child birthing aside, the book reportedly fills out other parts of Carson’s colourful biography.
