If you are headed to
the hospital for surgery
00:00:03.30\00:00:05.90
any time soon, make sure to take
your CD player along with you.
00:00:05.93\00:00:10.04
Studies have shown that 97%
of the patients who listen to
00:00:10.07\00:00:14.28
soft tonal baroque music during
surgery, they experience less
00:00:14.31\00:00:18.81
disorientation and had
a faster recovery time.
00:00:18.85\00:00:21.48
Recovery rooms and intensive
care units are extremely noisy,
00:00:21.52\00:00:25.65
it is not ironically a
health producing atmosphere.
00:00:25.69\00:00:29.39
Following surgery and heavy
medication the den can make you
00:00:29.42\00:00:33.86
uncomfortable and anxious.
00:00:33.90\00:00:35.40
This is why transparent
calming music can alter
00:00:35.43\00:00:39.33
recovery rates so dramatically.
00:00:39.37\00:00:41.30
Spend a few days before
your surgery preparing for your
00:00:41.34\00:00:44.67
recovery.
00:00:44.71\00:00:46.04
Find an album of slow beautiful
baroque or classical music...
00:00:46.07\00:00:49.58
This may not be your favorite
music, but it is the best
00:00:49.61\00:00:53.21
for this situation.
00:00:53.25\00:00:54.58
Popular music, fast music and
vocal music do not work as well.
00:00:54.62\00:00:59.29
Each day before the
procedure, listen to the album
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.22
while lying down
with your eyes closed.
00:01:02.26\00:01:04.29
Imagine yourself fully recovered
and well and in a safe place
00:01:04.33\00:01:08.60
next, check with the hospital
to see if they provide music
00:01:08.63\00:01:11.80
systems in prep-rooms,
surgery and recovery.
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.00
If not, bring your own portable
CD player with headphones.
00:01:15.04\00:01:18.31
Ask your physician and attending
nurses to have it playing for
00:01:18.34\00:01:21.88
you at all
stages of your procedure
00:01:21.91\00:01:23.58
The beautiful music will
calm and soothe your mind
00:01:23.61\00:01:26.31
allowing your body to stay
busy on the work of healing.
00:01:26.35\00:01:29.08
