Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This violinist played her instrument as
surgeons removed a brain tumor
A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal
cells in one's brain. While primary brain tumors can begin in the brain, cancer
in other parts of the body could spread to the brain.
A 53-year-old female professional violinist in
the UK suffered a brain tumor. It was important for her career and life to have
the tumor removed without impairing her abilities to play the musical
instrument. So, when she underwent surgery to remove the tumor from her right
frontal lobe, she was asked by the surgeons to play the violin to make sure her
musical abilities were not damaged. That sounds like pretty much a hands-on
surgery, doesn’t it?
Fortunately, the surgery went well, and she
was released from the hospital only three days later.
Enjoy reading the article to learn about this
extraordinary brain surgery, and if you’re interested, watch the video of the violinist
playing the violin during the surgery.
