So easy to download and install. I took it to the hospital on my iPhone and they paired it with their bluetooth headphones. Music was beautiful and the knee replacement was not a trauma for me, as I feared!” “Promise fulfilled! I was so worried about having general anesthesia for my surgery, but because I was calmed with this music, they were able to do the surgery with spinal anesthesia.” “Dr. Cash, the surgery that I had for an aortic aneurysm was a complete success. The music was beautiful and the doctors and medical staff were fascinated. What was predicted to take 4-5 hours only took less than two. I was predicted to be in ICU for 3-4 days, but was discharged in 24 hours. The entire surgical team believes that the music was a huge factor. Thank you so much!” WHY DOWNLOAD: This innovative app provides the surgical patient with one of five different playlists in different genres. Each playlist is approximately an hour long and repeats continuously until playlist is stopped. Patients using this proprietary music have reported, • Less anxiety • Less pain • Less nausea and vomiting • Less opioid consumption • More positive patient experience • Faster discharge from hospital This music is also sold on pre-loaded headphones and has been used around the world for pain and anxiety management.
