  Nick Petrella is a doctor in Montreal. He works 60 hours a week. He takes care of 159 patients a week in the hospital and at his office. He' s been a doctor for ten years.

  Dr. Petrella gives his patients good medical advice. But he doesn't just tell his patients what to do. He also sings to them on television! Dr. Petrella has his own TV show. The show is in Italian, English and French. The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice. He explains a medical problem or disease in simple language. After that, he sings another song.

  Dr. Petrella produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Petrella says,“I always loved to sing. All my problems are gone when I sing.” But when Dr. Petrella was young, his father didn't want him to be a singer. So he went to medical school.

  Some people tell Dr. Petrella he can help people more as a doctor. But Dr. Petrella says he helps people when he sings, too.“I like to make people smile. Sometimes it's difficult to make a sick person smile. Medicine and entertainment both try to do the same thing. They try to make people feel good.”
