The Singing Nurse Sensation

Rod Salaysay is a musician. But he’s also a trauma nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego.

One day, he decided to put his vocation together with his avocation, and began singing to patients in the surgical intensive care unit where the hospital’s most critical patients – many of whom are totally incapacitated – are watched over.

The patients appreciate it as his voice and the messages he delivers in his songs resonate ever in their souls – even patients who were in comas have said they heard him singing, even though they couldn’t respond.

Among the 30+ songs that he’s written are many that have been inspired by his patients.

You can discover more about this Godsend at rodsalaysay.com. I did; it’s inspirational.
