Eddie liked music very much when he was at school, but when he went to the university he decided to
study medicine instead of music. When he passed his examinations and became a doctor, he had to work in
a hospital for some time. There he discovered that a lot of patients were happier and caused less trouble if
pleasant music was played to them. When Eddie got an office and began to work for himself, he decided to
keep his patients happy by having a tape recorder in his waiting-room play beautiful music for them.
But soon after the tape recorder had been put in, Eddie's nurse heard a woman, who was sitting in the
crowded waiting-room one morning, complained,"here we're all waiting to see the doctor, and he's just playing
the violin in his office instead of doing his work."
