Shannon Wemyss shared the clip on Facebook, which has garnered 43,000 views.

During Shannon’s daughter’s blood test, the doctor sang Nat King Cole’s hit song Unforgettable to distract her from the pain.

The 10-month-old baby, Gracey, loved every moment as Dr. Ryan Coetzee sang to her and remained calm throughout the blood test.

Shannon described the moment, saying Dr. Ryan Coetzee was “absolutely amazing” when he sang to Gracey at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, Scotland.

Gracey, who has Down Syndrome, has undergone open-heart surgery and a kidney operation. As a result, she requires regular blood tests.

In the video, Dr. Coetzee can be seen singing to Gracey, who is lying on a hospital bed next to a toy.

The classically-trained doctor from South Africa was initially uncertain about what song to sing but ultimately chose Unforgettable. He goes above and beyond his regular duties, spreading kindness and joy in the hospital through his musical talent.

Verse of the Day

“[Psalm 18] For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Psalm 18:1-2
