Surgeon's Greetings: Singing Doctor Belts Out Christmas Carols in Operating Room

"Music is medicine," Dr. Elvis Francois says.

The singing surgeon is back, and this time, he’s got Christmas carols.

Dr. Elvis Francois, an orthopedic surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic, posted a video of himself belting out “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” on his Instagram page.

Christmas came early,” the post read. 

Francois, 32, told InsideEdition.com in a previous interview that he has been singing since he was a kid, and now sings between procedures to relax.

"I grew up singing and I have always been interested in music," Francois said. “Singing helps keeping spirits lifted between cases. I usually sing around the operating staff.”

He believes music is medicine, and has said that he's been known to sing to patients every now and then.
