Tennessee man with hand tremors plays guitar during neurosurgery.
Dec
2008
Never let it be said that Nashville does not live up to its nickname of Music City USA in every sense.When musician Eddie Adcock began suffering from a tremor that grew worse over the course of three years, his neurologists recommended a deep-brain stimulation surgery available at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as a last resort.The most incredible part of the story is that "to ensure the surgery's accuracy, Adcock had to be awake. Doctors asked him to play the banjo during part of the procedure, to make sure their work was helping Adcock restore his music-making ability." (Tennessean 10-18-08)Check out this video of Adcock pickin' while the surgery team is performing their miraculous work...(it is not gross at all...it's absolutely amazing!)...
