Not the Bee
When Christian Nolen started to have trouble moving his entire left side, he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
And that was where things got weird. The surgeons asked Nolen to stay awake and play guitar during the operation to remove it. More
I just had a left and right cardiac catherization and was kept awake for similar reasons. I’ve never played the guitar so I couldn’t play for them but I was frequently asked to answer questions and I heard all of the discussions from the medical team.
Nice to hear that modern medicine is still used for the patient’s good once in awhile.
I am a living testament to the marvels of modern medicine!
Last year I recieved a donor kidney!
First time I’ve thought about Emerson, Lake and Palmer in a long time.
What am I thinking?
I had both knees replaced and offered to play my skin flute during the procedure……..
I got dibs on any left-over parts!
…would have been a lot more fun if his style was pro-Trump Norwegian thrash metal…

Nice to see a Dr who gives credit to the entire team too.
Different Tim,
Brain Salad Surgery, of course
I taught Christian Nolen how to play the guitar.
Come to think of it, I also taught Ricardo Komotar, M.D., surgery.
