This Brazilian patient playing the guitar & singing The Beatles’ ‘Yesterday’ during brain surgery will make you smile
When you’re passionate about something, nothing can stop you from doing it, in some cases, not even brain surgery.
A 33-year-old Brazilian patient named Kulkamp Anthony Dias created some beautiful music while a team of surgeons tried to remove a tumour from his brain through a complicated procedure.
Keeping a patient awake during such a delicate surgery, although challenging, is now a standard practice since it allows the doctors to determine how the brain functions with other parts of the body.
Aside from Yesterday, an iconic Beatles song from the hit album Help!, Dias also played a German song he wrote for his son Emmanuel, who was born 15 days after the brain tumour was discovered.
This is not the first instance of a video of a musical performance during surgery going viral.
