Brazilian Man Plays Guitar During His Own Brain Surgery

Anthony Kulkamp Dias, a 33-year-old Brazilian bank worker, underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor and played his guitar the entire way through.

Dias played a selection of songs including The Beatles' "Yesterday" and a few Brazilian country songs while he was kept conscious during surgery at the Nossa Senhora de Conceição Hospital in the Southern state of Santa Catarina. In a press release about the procedure, the hospital said that surgeons were better able to map Dias' brain activity in real time if he was kept conscious, thus avoiding injury that could compromise important brain functions
