When we think of brain surgery, the word “fun” may not be the first to spring to mind. For Krystina, who stayed awake throughout her procedure, it was just that. Her brain surgeon, @patelnv, had an innovative idea: Asking the pre-K teacher to sing to monitor her speech.
Fun to work on this one: a patient of @patelnv sang her way through brain surgery. "Moana" and Neil Diamond were on the soundtrack. Brought to you by Jeanne Moos and yours truly:
