Soumya who hails from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, remained conscious and played the piano and mobile games while doctors performed brain surgery on her to remove a tumour. The surgery was performed at Gwalior’s Birla Institute of Medical Research Hospital (BIMR).

And if she couldn’t play the piano or missed some notes, we would have come to know that we were entering an important area of the brain,” said Dr Abhishek Chauhan, Consultant Neurosurgeon, BIMR Hospital while talking to the Quint.
