Dr. Hunter loves surgery! And he loves helping patients!

And he loves having fun while he does it! You might actually hear him try to sing during surgery. He’s not very good at singing but he likes to try. If you don’t want him to sing, ask him to play some music and you’ll be pals forever, especially if it’s classic rock.
