A Brazilian guitarist, apparently consumed by his passion stunned doctors by playing The Beatles song ‘Yesterday’ on his guitar while having brain surgery.
The medical team conducted the surgery last week at the Nossa Senhora de Conceição Hospital in the Southern State of Santa Catarina to remove a tumour.
While the surgery lasted, the 33-year-old Anthony Kulkamp Dias, played melodious tunes to the listening pleasure of the medics.
Brazilian news website G1 reports that his serenade helped doctors to avoid hitting areas of his brain that control senses, movement and speech.
Kulkamp, a bank worker, was said to have started with ‘Emanuel'; a song he wrote for his newborn son, before playing the classic Beatles hit.
He also played some Brazilian tunes to the amazement of the medics ‘The doctors asked me to repeat the country song so I even had an encore,‘ he told Brazilian news website G1.
