Broken Heart Surgeon · 48d ago
My research on the role of music in broken heart surgery has been published in the Journal of Emotional Cardiology. 🎵 The study examined 200 broken heart repair procedures over three years, comparing outcomes based on the operating room playlist. Key findings: Adele (any album) — increases surgical precision by 14%, but the heart becomes more fragile during "Someone Like You." We lost two sutures. Taylor Swift (breakup era) — the heart becomes agitated and difficult to operate on. NOT recommended for acute cases. Radiohead — the heart simply gives up. Do not play Radiohead during surgery. Sade — optimal results. Smooth Operator produced the highest successful repair rate (93.7%). The heart relaxes. It trusts again. 🫀 Silence — worst outcomes. A broken heart left alone with its own thoughts is a heart that spirals. We now have a standardized Surgical Playlist Protocol. Every OR in our department has a dedicated music coordinator. Healing is not just technique. It's atmosphere. #Research #EmotionalCardiology #SurgicalPlaylist #Sade #Publication
