Afternoon Drive - SA's Singing Doctor | News Article

Doctors seem to always have a way with our little humans.


Dr Ryan Coetzee is back again!

Dr Coetzee became an internet sensation in July last year, after a video of him singing to one of his little patients went viral on social media.  He is back again, this time singing Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable".

Coetzee has since moved to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, Scotland, which serves patients from the local area as well providing specialist services to patients from across the Highland area.

In the video, the baby who has Down’s Syndrome, is seen lying on her back while he sings to her.  The baby's mother shared her gratitude on facebook by saying;

"My daughter is usually distraught getting bloods done, she has had them done a huge amount of times but never has had a reaction quite like this, not one tear," wrote Shannon Wemyss.

"I have never met a doctor quite like this one, absolutely amazing. He had a smile on everyone’s face. An example of a job being more than a pay check at the end of the month. He has made our day."

Another happy patient for the good Dr.
