Man Plays Guitar While His Brain is Being Operated On [Watch]

Christian Nolen, he recently underwent brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his head while fully awake.

And, what's more, he actually played guitar during the surgery under doctor’s orders, so that the medical team at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine could examine and protect his manual dexterity while simultaneously trying to remove the tumor.

Nolen reportedly used the time in surgery to play tunes by System of a Down and Deftones.
