Doctors heard music when checking a man's pulse. Here's why.

The music was playing loud and clear, as if someone had turned on a radio.
When doctors checked the man's pulse, they couldn't believe their ears — they heard music playing, loud and clear, as if someone had turned on a radio.
The 65-year-old man arrived at the hospital after he experienced a fall and dislocated his hip, according to a report of the case, published Saturday (Dec. 19) in The New England Journal of Medicine. Previously, the man had undergone hip-replacement surgery on both hips, the report said.
As the man lay in his hospital bed, doctors checked the pulse in his feet using a Doppler (ultrasound) device.
But then something bizarre happened: In addition to the thump thump of the man's heart, they heard music through the device's speaker. (In a video accompanying the report, an upbeat tune with someone singing, possibly in Spanish, can be heard filling the room. The app Shazam identifies the song as "Gracias Por Tu Amor" by Banda El Recodo De Cruz Lizárraga.) The music played only when the Doppler was placed on the man's feet. It didn't happen when hospital staff used the device on themselves.

Both of my hips have titanium - maybe his acted like an antenna of sorts. If the occasion ever arrives (hope it never does!), I'll be sure to have the hospital staff listen to my feet. 
Something similarly odd happened in my Dad's neighborhood (Cicero, IL) when he was young. He was born in 1914 and said when he was about 12 or so, a women down the block ran into the street, screaming about a 'miracle' in her kitchen.
Apparently she'd put a piece of coal in the stove and started to hear music! Understandably the whole block filed through her kitchen (my Dad included) to hear it for themselves. Sure enough, they all agreed there was beautiful orchestral music coming out of her stove.
TBH I'd forgotten all about Dad's story till reading about this man's musical feet. Maybe there was some kind of crystal in the coal my Dad's neighbor Lady put into her stove? My older brother built a crystal radio when I was very young, and I too, thought it was quite a miracle to hear music coming from it.
Thanks for posting this, Judi Lynn! The memory jog was very pleasant.
