The strumming, singing cardiologist | Philadelphia Inquirer | 2011-06-09
Most independent musicians need a flexible day job - waiter, bike messenger, substitute teacher, cardiologist.
Wait a minute - cardiologist?
That's what singer-songwriter Suzie Brown is when she's not on stage. She works 60 percent of full-time hours at Albert Einstein Medical Center.
Despite her demanding other career, her musical talent has taken her to the top local venues, including the Tin Angel and the Kimmel Center, and she has opened for Lyle Lovett. She recently performed in Los Angeles and New York.
On Friday, she has a CD-release show at World Cafe Live. Heartstrings Neither medicine nor stage performing is the sort of thing one just stumbles into, not at her levels of success. In 1995-96, during her last year at Dartmouth College, the Boston expatriate, who now lives in Philadelphia, tried singing in the Dartmouth Rockapellas, an a cappella group, and realized, "Oh, my God, these are my people!" She taught herself guitar and continued pursuing music while at Harvard Medical School. She has occasionally done a show the night after a shift at Einstein: "I would rather have to do that than not be able to do the show." About switching back and forth between careers, she says: "The transition from medicine to music is not as hard as music to medicine. "Music is so emotional. I feel I'm most who I am when I'm playing music, and then when I go back to the hospital, you have to be more impartial and professional and separate your personal life from your work. "It's actually not good for patients if you're their friend. You have to be impartial and decide what's best for them, and sometimes it's something they don't want, something that hurts them." Then it's back to music, where connecting emotionally with the audience is the point. In another life-path detour, Brown earned a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in translational research, which helps put scientific findings into medical practice. When she writes a song, "It always starts as something I want to say. . . . "I always think of the hook, the crux of the song - what do people come away remembering? From the hook, I make the chorus, and from there, I write the verses. . . . In general, I always write at least some of the words before I write the music.

Biography of Albert Einstein
The University of Zurich conferred the degree of PhD on Einstein for a thesis ‘On a new determination of molecular dimensions’ in 1905.Thereafter Einstein published some very thought-provoking papers in different scientific journals.His papers on theory of relativity were recognised as one of the major discoveries of Professor Einstein.During this time, he was also appointed full time professor at a polytechnic college.
Professor Einstein’s theory of relativity was universally accepted and he was honoured by several institutions and organisations. But in the latter half of his life, he was accused of being a staunch communist and enemy of democracy. The American government even secretly ordered that an eye be kept on activities of Professor Einstein. Einstein was a dedicated scientist whose only political activities were his dedication to science, and only science.
ALBERT EINSTEIN was born on 14,1879 at Ulm, Germany.As a small boy, Einstein took an interest in music and began to play violin with skill. From his early childhood, Einstein was quiet,intelligent, and thoughtful.He was a slow talker and not very outgoing.
Einstein’s father was working in a electrical equipment shop. His income from the shop was not big but he was making a good living. He was a very lucky, the business was constantly prospering because electricity had recently been discovered and new electricity lines were being installed all over Europe. As a result, Mr.Einstein was busy working long hours in the shop. He was taking new orders and dispatching them as per the demands.
During early childhood, Einstein did not have good health and as result he was thin and weak. The poor health of the child worried his parents very much. They took the little boy to a child specialist too if there was anything basically wrong with the child. The doctor gave the boy a thorough check-up and found no major complications with is his health.
One day his father brought a compass to his son thinking he might like it. His father was very surprised to see his 5-years old son was completely absorbed in the compass.Einstein was amazed as the needle of the compass always indicated the north and the south poles. Einstein used to take his compass in woods and watch its needle for a long time,the compass needle always swing towards the north and made Einstein think that invisible power must be working behind every object. The compass was a curious object to Einstein and his only plaything.
