According to the Hospital Nossa
Senhora da Conceico of Brazil, a 33 years old bank employee Anthony Kullkamp
Dias sang six songs while the doctors performed the his brain surgery to remove
the diagnosed tumor.
Dias has been playing a guitar
for 20 years, and also plays other instruments. He played “Yesterday” by the Bettles,
some Brazilian Songs and his original song “Emanuel” that he dedicated to his
son.
In an interview:
“Dias found out
the tumor in his brain few days later after his son was born. He was awake and
talking during the surgery to monitor and map the brain for possible injuries
to areas that control motor function and speech, which might be affected by the
removal of the tumor.” The doctor said.
“The brain
tissue does not have sensors to pain. However, the skin and other surrounding
tissue do, causing an interesting challenge to doctors on how to keep the
patient awake and pain-free.” – said Dr. Jean Abreu Machado, the
anesthesiologist and clinical director at the hospital.
