Earlier this year, we shared a note about Musical Rounds — a Stanford Medicine–affiliated programme that brings live, improvised music to patients and families navigating serious illness.
We’re delighted that their podcast, Patient Voices, Improvised Cello, is now out. Hosted by cofounder and cellist-physician Melanie Ambler, each episode is captured live in a single take at the hospital bedside — an unscripted patient story, underscored by cello improvised in the room, as it happens.
It is a rare thing to hear care rendered this honestly: no edits, no rehearsal, just presence. We hope you’ll listen, and share it with someone who might find comfort in it.

今年較早前,我們曾分享過 Musical Rounds 的故事——一個與史丹佛醫學院合作、為重症病人與家屬帶來現場即興音樂的計劃。
他們的 podcast 《Patient Voices, Improvised Cello》 現已推出。主持人 Melanie Ambler 既是大提琴家,也是內科住院醫生,更是 Musical Rounds 的共同創辦人。每一集都在病榻旁一次收錄完成——沒有劇本的病人故事,配上她在現場即興演奏的大提琴聲,自然發生。
很少有一種方式,能把「照顧」呈現得如此誠實:沒有剪接,沒有彩排,只有陪伴。願你點進去聽一聽,也願你把它,分享給某個或許正需要的人。
