I would like to listen The sound barrier by Robert Charlebois or, otherwise, the Bolero by Ravel and the finale with Bye by Gilbert Bécaud.

Harold Gagné, who was a medical affairs reporter for TVA for a long time, introduces us on YouTube and Facebook to my great friend Émilie Auclair, a fantastic girl in her mid-twenties who will start her externship at Pierre-Boucher Hospital in August, but who is also one of the most talented violinists in our region. Medicine and music, bow and stethoscope, new tandems. In this story, Harold reveals the passion of young doctors and we realize that Émilie, while treating patients, will also play her violin (no less than a 1785 Guadagnini) in the corridors or even in the rooms of the hospital center. If music soothes the soul, there is no better place to offer it to people who are going through an ordeal.

Go see

A seasoned journalist and humanitarian, Harold now hosts a web series entitled Diagnostic which skillfully takes us behind the scenes of the health network and it’s good to watch. Music and medicine, a comforting angle that few people have thought of, and Émilie explains to us that marriage is salutary, beneficial, and I believe in it wholeheartedly.

I will never forget that day as I was transported to the operating room at Hôtel-Dieu hospital. I heard two nurses singing together as they prepared the surgeon’s instruments. When I arrived on the stretcher, embarrassed, they stopped, but I asked them to continue until I was anesthetized and I left gently to the sound of the clear fountain…

Take care

  • Justin Trudeau looks like a golfer. People keep talking about his tee time.
  • Donald Trump has a friendly face, especially when he’s lying face down.
  • Mayor Plante confirms that snow removal is now complete.
  • Is the Liberal Party the only political party with a rearview camera?
  • The microphone, lectern and coffee machine are gone. The Kleptomaniacs Anonymous conference is therefore cancelled.
  • Andrée Bouchard, mayor of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu: “Municipal politics is an extreme sport.” But she will still show up again next year.
  • Jeanie, 9, advises: “Never use a felt-tip pen as lipstick.”
  • Even the Stanley Cup has become a snowbird. She will spend the winter in Florida.

Good choice

Boss: Your salary starts at $50,000 and within five years, it will be $100,000.

Employee: OK I’ll start in five years first!
