Man Plays His Guitar While Undergoing Brain Surgery

submitted by blackfox42

8 years 11 months ago

YT "Brazilian bank worker Anthony Kulkamp Dias, 33, who was kept conscious during the pioneering operation, entertained surgeons with songs from the Beatles and Brazilian folk songs.

The patient, who had been a professional guitarist for 20 years, first noticed he had a problem when he started stammering and was unable to pronounce the name of his car.
Mr Dias played six songs during the nine-hour procedure on a guitar balanced on his stomach, while surgeons hidden behind a blue sheet operated on him.

He was encouraged to play during surgery so doctors could monitor the areas of the brain relating to speech and motor coordination and ensure they were not damaged when the tumour was removed."

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by kulpims.

Adding video to channels (Brain, Livemusic) - requested by kulpims.

I keep thinking that he should have switched to playing Slayer for a moment, then said "just kidding", but maybe joking during brain surgery isn't the best idea.

I was thinking Michael Bolton so the doctors could have an "Oh shit, what have we done moment."

I would think that would be more of a Rick Astley moment.
Would Stairway to Heaven be considered too morbid?
