Musician serenades surgeons while they operate on his BRAIN

This is the moment a musician serenaded surgeons while they burned out parts of his BRAIN - so he could play guitar. Taskin Ibna Ali, 31, suffered from with focal hand dystonia - a rare condition also known as 'musician's cramp' which meant he lost 80% of the precise dexterity in his left hand. There is no known cure, but experts believe it is caused by failing motor control systems in the brain, so Taskin asked surgeons to operate. Doctors burned away the 'misfiring' parts of the brain - and an incredible video shows Taskin playing guitar on the operating theatre so surgeons could check they'd cut off the correct bit.
