Krystina Vied sang through her operation.
"One of Krystina's passions is singing. She loves to do karaoke. So we figured why not have her sing?" said Dr. Nitesh Patel, co-director of neurosurgical oncology at Hackensack Meridian Health. Patel, at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, needed Vied to be awake and talking so he could tell in real time any effect the surgery was having on her brain.
"You know, it's funny; we started out with some Neil Diamond," Patel said. "And then I think Krystina didn't know too many of the lyrics so I switched over to some of her options."That's not surprising, since Vied teaches young children. Singing was better than continuous conversation.Vied told Newsweek "it was like I was throwing my own little concert for everyone.
Towards the end of the operation, Patel said he started to notice some errors in her singing -- a signal it would be too risky to remove any more tissue.
