Dr. Schon rocks the house with the Foo Fighters

Baltimore-area orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lew Schon has another item to add to his 58-page curriculum vitae: Singing in front of 40,000 rock fans at Boston's Fenway Park.

The good doctor can also add “Internet sensation” to his CV since the event was caught on video. Schon performed after a patient invited him onstage to perform a cover version of the White Stripes' “Seven Nation Army” at a packed July 19 concert at the venerable ballpark. The patient just happened to be Dave Grohl, band leader of the Foo Fighters and former Nirvana drummer, who broke his leg after falling off a stage in Sweden on June 12. They met when Grohl was referred to Schon for follow-up care.

Several versions of Schon's performance appear on YouTube, including one that's been viewed more than 570,000 times and has 178 comments (ow.ly/QfdG1), including MedStar Health proclaiming, “He's always been a rock star to us.”

One commenter imagined this dialogue: “Dr: this operation is going to be $20,000. Dave: how about i give you vip tickets to my concert? Dr: how about you let me sing a song on stage? dave: deal. no tradebacks!” But another said he'd be mad if he had “paid good money to see this concert and some random friend of the real singer performed a song.”

After the song, Grohl proclaimed, “Holy s#!t, that's actually my doctor. What a badass!”

Under “other professional accomplishments” on page 58 of his CV, Schon notes that he's a founding member, keyboardist, backup vocalist and “occasionally soloist” of the Stims, an orthopedic staff band. He filled a similar role with the Sole Heelers, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society's house band. He was AOFAS president in 2012-13.

Aside from his musical career, Schon won the Professors' Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute in 2012.
