"To be able to recover to the point of being able to perform as a musician is really incredible," Wang told NPR. Brain surgeons often use"return-to-work" as a marker of a successful functional recovery, he explained."But very rarely is that work quite so nuanced."events, Wang explained that the most life-threatening are those in which the weakened wall of the blood vessel balloons out, then ruptures because of the intense pressure.
