A young Florida patient stayed awake and played guitar throughout his brain surgery while doctors operated on his head to remove a tumor. The neurological team at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami asked Christian Nolen to play the guitar while being operated on so they could test his manual dexterity. Nolen started playing guitar at 13, he said when doctors first suggested he stay awake and play through the surgery it 'didn't seem real'.
