The Singing Doctor

Dr. Carey Andrew-Jaja, an ob-gyn at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, believes a baby’s first moments in the world should be filled with fanfare and excitement. That’s why every time he brings a new life into the world, he and his delivery room staff sing “Happy Birthday” to the baby and parents.  He has sung to more than 8,000 newborns and their moms during his career. And even after the delivery is over, the singing doctor makes it a point to visit with his patients as often as he can until they are released.
