Brazilian Paulo Martins is a doctor working at the Clinique de Ribeirao Preto Hospital in Sao Paulo.
Dr. Martins is not only a competent specialist but also a talented musician. The doctor goes to the clinic with his ukulele to bring joy to the young patients in the pediatric oncology unit.

He plays his instrument while singing for young patients in need of comfort.
Once, during Dr. P. Martins’ musical rounds, a little girl, just over a year and a half old, named Sophia Romao, heard his song.
Sophia had been in the hospital for months and suffered from a rare immune system disorder called Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
The treatment for this health condition was chemotherapy, and due to this treatment, the adorable little girl had almost lost most of her hair. Despite her situation, she remained cheerful and energetic.

When Sophia heard the doctor’s song coming from the hallway, she went in search of the melody.
Finally, the girl found Dr. Martins and approached this kind doctor, dragging her IV tube behind her.

“The girl was following me everywhere, and when I exited the last room, she was waiting for me in the hallway. I understood that she wanted me to play a tune especially for her,” Martins recounted.
So, the kind doctor entered the room where the little girl was surrounded by smiling nurses.

Dr. Martins began to play a popular tune that, according to Sophia’s father, his daughter liked.
Since Sophia was too young to dance properly, she started moving her head and legs to the rhythm of the music. She was so happy!
