Patient transporter sings to patients he’s helping, only for camera footage to cause a stir

There’s something beautiful about music that speaks to us on a primal level far below our everyday consciousness. We associate with it, it makes us laugh, it makes us cry, it makes us brave, it makes us reflective.

Put plainly, there’s very little a good piece of music can’t do when it comes to improving a situation. A well selected melody can be the perfect antidote for stress or angst, a soft refrain the ideal tool to put a troubled mind at ease.

Just ask Lindon Beckford, a patient transporter at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He’s been singing since he was a boy, and for him the location isn’t important, only that he can bring a bit of comfort to the world, and to himself, with his voice.
