Dagmar Turner wanted to make sure she'd be able to continue playing the violin after doctor's at King's College Hospital in London removed a tumor.
Seeing the patient doing that mid-surgery might raise a few eyebrows.
Video of the procedure shows Turner playing with her eyes closed, surrounded by doctors. The procedure, performed by professor Keyoumars Ashkan and a team, was observed by anesthetists and a therapist, according to the hospital.Doctors first opened Turner's skull while she was under anesthesia, then woke her up and asked her to play while the tumor was removed.
Ashkan said the King's College Hospital removes about 400 tumors per year and this was the first time he did so while a patient played an instrument. He added he"often" wakes up patients mid-procedure so they can perform language tests.
