  • A man who underwent hip replacement surgery went to the hospital after sustaining another injury
  • Upon arrival, the doctors took his pulse
  • Instead of just a beat, you could also listen to Mexican music

American doctors were impressed when they checked the pulse of a 65-year-old man and listened to music. A report, published in TThe New England Journal of Medicinesaid the man previously underwent bilateral hip replacement surgery (hip replacement surgery) and had to return to the hospital after suffering a fall and dislocation of the hip.

Doctors used a Doppler, a tool used for prenatal ultrasounds and heartbeats, to monitor the man’s pulse. Something completely unexpected happened while they were trying to observe her heartbeat: along with her heartbeat, music came blasting through the speaker of the ultrasound device.

Mexican music of the patient’s feet

According to the report, the music could only be heard when the device was placed on the man’s feet. Hospital staff even tried using the device on themselves to test whether the same thing would happen, but the music only came from the man’s pulse at his feet.

An application called Shazam (which identifies the music) revealed that the name of the song was “Gracias Por Tu Amor” from the Mexican band Banda El Recodo De Cruz Lizárraga. One of the suspicious reasons for the music, according to the authors, is that the Doppler may have picked up radio signals that were being projected through the patient’s hip replacements.

Another possibility is that other equipment in the room was receiving a radio signal, which was picked up by the device. Doctors had engineers test the device to assess whether it was faulty, but found that it worked optimally.

The report also stated that eight months after his bizarre hospital visit, the man was fine and no more music could be heard along with his
