I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Deforia Lane.\u00a0 Actually, many people feel the same way and I wanted to share with my readers another wonderful article that was written about her.\u00a0\u00a0 I met her early in my journey toward the field of music medicine.\u00a0 I consider Deforia to be a dear friends as well as a mentor and she is currently using some of my Surgical Serenity Headphones with patients she works with.\u00a0 Thank you Deforia!<\/p>\n

CLEVELAND, Ohio<\/strong> \u2014 Sweet and soothing sounds fill hospital rooms and hallways as Dr. Deforia Lane hits the piano keys to keep up with her tapping toes.<\/p>\n

“Patients don’t expect music when they walk into a hospital,” said Lane, Director of Music Therapy at University Hospital’s Case Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Her angelic voice reaches ears from the cancer wing to the rehab facility, ONN’s Harrison Hove reported.<\/p>\n

“Music therapy is a field that is growing enormously,” Lane said.<\/p>\n

Lane has a gift, whether it’s her welcoming smile, rich voice or the power of her profession.<\/p>\n

“Music can draw tears. It can create laughter. People can reminisce. It goes where words cannot,” she said.<\/p>\n

It was the music, not words, that led Lane into battle on her own personal journey.<\/p>\n

“I was diagnosed with cancer at age 34. I ended up volunteering to bring music to others here and was hired within six months. And that was back in 1983,”\u00a0 said Lane.<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven years later, Lane still pushes an aging music cart up and down the hospital halls as part of the music therapy staff.<\/p>\n

“There’s everything on that cart from A to Z.\u00a0 Drums, tambourines, there are tone chimes,” Lane said.<\/p>\n

The instruments, the songs and the love and laughter help heal.<\/p>\n

“It makes it so much easier to move your hurting parts when you’re doing it to a rhythm rather than jerking through the pain,” said Hinda Apple.<\/p>\n

Apple is a\u00a0 patient at Hanna House and is undergoing three weeks of intense rehab to help regain movements in her arms and legs after a fall.<\/p>\n

“I used to dance to that,” Apple remembered during one song. A memory from the past brought to the present once again.<\/p>\n

In the Ireland Cancer Center, another brave soul awaits the next round of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

“Pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer,” said patient Daniel Herod.<\/p>\n

Herod and his family are fighting.<\/p>\n

“It’d been two months almost. I’ve been going through a terrible sickness,” Herod said.<\/p>\n

But for a few minutes, his own sounds drowned out the beeping machines. The bandages and tubes were forgotten while a family leans on one another and Lane.<\/p>\n

“They feel themselves and I can ask for nothing more than that,” said Lane.<\/p>\n

“Hallelujah,” exclaimed Herod. “I needed to get that out. That needed to come out.”<\/p>\n

Many people sing Lane’s praises.<\/p>\n

“Deforia is incredible. She really is,” Apple said.<\/p>\n

She continues introducing people to the power of music as medicine.<\/p>\n

“It has been the joy of my life,” Lane said.<\/p>\n

Even though names might eventually be forgotten and faces blur over time, it’s the sounds of Lane’s songs of healing that will stay with these patients forever.<\/p>\n
