A patient with Parkinson’s disease played the clarinet while undergoing brain surgery to help manage her symptoms, giving surgeons a chance to instantly hear the results of the procedure. According to King’s College Hospital in London, Denise Bacon, a 65-year-old retired speech and language therapist from England, had been experiencing slowness of movement and muscle stiffness from Parkinson’s disease, which was affecting her ability to walk, swim and play her beloved clarinet. During this four-hour operation at King’s College Hospital in July, Keyoumars Ashkan MBE, a professor of neurosurgery, performed deep brain stimulation (DBS) – a surgical procedure used on selected patients with treatment-resistant movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease – to implant electrodes in Bacon’s brain. “The results were instantaneous on the operating table,” King’s College Hospital said. “The movement in Denise’s fingers improved immediately, allowing her to play the clarinet with much greater ease.”

A patient played a song while doctors removed his brain tumor. The surgeons asked him to keep playing throughout the operation so they could monitor critical functions and make sure they didn't damage the areas responsible for movement and language 🥺

🚨The child Jana Al-Hajjah, a cancer patient displaced to Nuseirat in Gaza, is pleading with the world for a medical evacuation as her condition deteriorates in a tent with no food, clean water, or proper nutrition while the Israeli occupation continues to block her evacuation. Jana says Gaza offers no treatment for her illness, and her mother describes catastrophic living conditions that are unfit for any patient, especially a child undergoing cancer care, while her father also suffers from severe heart disease requiring surgery. Despite having medical reports and an official referral, the family says no evacuation has been approved by the Israeli occupation, leaving Jana without medicine, nourishment, or safety as her health rapidly declines under the ongoing Israeli occupation blockade preventing tens of thousands like her from treatment. They urgently appeal for international intervention to save her life. 📌To contact Jana's family: +972592159472 ahmedjarwan1 (IG)
