A cardiologist at UNC Hospitals, Chapel Hill, brings his banjo, and sometimes his whole band, to cheer up his patients.

Banjo-picking doctor cares about patients

Cool!

And I heard that cardiologists have no heart!

Cool! Heart Dr and Bluegrass picker! If he was a neurosurgeon, he'd be playing claw hammer!

I once had a GP who played guitar and sang, I even played in a session with him once.

BRAVO!! I once had a Doctor at Maine Medical who told me that if he could have half a dozen people like me he could fire all the Doctors!

Music hath charm to sooth the savage breast. Even Bluegrass.

"Get better quick or I'll start tuning my banjo".

Actually pretty cool.

I was remembering that back in Texas I used to have a family practice doctor that played the bass. It's the only waiting room that I ever heard playing a whole Van Morrison CD. And he allowed his employees to bring a CD to play every day. But he retained veto power. He said he didn't want to have to listen to Kenny G or Yanni.
