Undergoing a medical procedure can be nerve-wracking, no matter the reason for it. This is especially true when the procedure requires you to be put to sleep with anesthesia. Sure, it’s nice to not have to be awake during such a stressful and, likely, painful time. But the moments leading up to being put under can be a lot, to say the least.

Luckily, there are lots of caring medical professionals who understand these fears and anxieties. As such, they’re able to provide patients with the kind of extra special care they deserve. Still, few provide care quite like Dr. William J. Vinyard of Florida. Before the anesthesia kicks in, this cosmetic plastic surgeon will sing a song of his patient’s choice. Experience this oddly comforting ritual in the video below!

Doctor Goes the Extra Mile and Sings for Patients
“Dr. Vinyard isn’t just a surgeon — he brings comfort and connection to his patients through music,” the caption of this viral video reads. “Every patient gets to choose their own song before surgery, a small but meaningful tradition that eases nerves and makes the experience truly personal.”
This caring doctor’s patients aren’t the only ones who adore this unique method of comfort. Folks from all over now have rather high expectations for their own surgical experiences. Though, I have a feeling not many surgeons will be switching to Dr. Vinyard’s particular method anytime soon.
“That voice combined with propofol would have me believing we were in love,” one person hilariously admits in the comments, another adding, “As a surgical technician…I have NEVER seen this level of care from a physician.”
“Surgeries are scary,” a third person writes. “This doctor knows that and goes the extra mile.”
