Singing during Surgery

Humans have an incredible ability to do two things at the same time. Actually, a person can do more than two activities simultaneously. How about singing while listening to a favorite song from an IPod, jogging and at the same time sight seeing? Oh well, it’s normal and anyone can do it. But here’s an amazing thing, a man is singing during a brain surgery. What?! How can that be? Read on and find out.

The musician-actor has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease. A brain-stimulation surgery was carried out to help him deal with hand and eye tremors.  The surgeons implanted an electrode emitter to the affected part of the man’s brain. They woke up the patient during surgery to ensure that the electrode emitter was implanted correctly in the right part. Surprisingly, the musician-actor strummed his guitar and sang a song whilst the doctors are still doing the procedure. Not only that, he was able to send a message to his loved ones and managed to hold a cup of water. That was great! An infusion of medicine, technology and social media unveiled when that medical breakthrough was captured in video.
