Cool story. I'd be afraid that the doc would get startled by a sudden squeak. I wonder if she covered ELP's Brain Salad Surgery album.

I wonder if she also had arthritis in those fingers which wasn't inflamed at the time.

I would think the doc wouldn't want any head movement during surgery.

But it seemed to work, so all the best to the lady.

I remember years ago, someone sang during their brain surgery. I think it was an opera singer. But not 100% on that.
