Violin was last minute addition to surgery, says brain tumour patient

A patient at a British hospital played Mahler and Gershwin while a tumour was removed from her brain said that the violin was a last minute addition to surgery. Dagmar Turner, 53, a former management consultant from the Isle of Wight, played her violin during an operation to remove a tumour from the right frontal lobe of her brain - close to the area that controls the fine movement of her left hand.
