Soundtracking Surgery

Many surgeons listen to music while they work, saying it helps them relax and concentrate. But now Dr. Claudius Conrad, an accomplished pianist and a senior surgical resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, is scientifically testing how music affects surgeons, their patients, and even relatives in the waiting room. He tells us about his research. Also joining us is Emilie Rowan, coordinator of cardiac integrative medicine at Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey.
