Yes. I know an ear, nose, and throat specialist who has a bachelor's degree from USC in bassoon performance and was going back to school to work on his master's in music but decided to become a doctor instead. I also know of two dentists who both play bassoon professionally on the side. A lot of doctors have great musical talent. It just goes to show you that making music does make you smarter.

Is it a top ideas-left ideas style of situation you're thinking of?

What kind of music? Classical, pop, country?
Just for example, Cleve Francis, a cardiologist, tried a country music career. He was very good-- I liked his music. He's back practicing medicine now, I understand.

Dr. Albert Schweitzer was also a talented violinist, and many of my doctor friends also sing, play an instrument, etc.

My aunt married a doctor who specialised in immunology, he used to play in a punk rock band in his youth. Also in the city I live in there is a covers band that's comprised entirely of doctors.
