A paramedic sings a Disney song for a sad girl in the ambulance, stirring the net. His videos now inspire millions.

Strasbourg - A paramedic from Strasbourg inspires the network with a touching video. During one operation, Frenchman Mike Ayden calmed down a girl by singing a song from "The Lion King" in the ambulance for the little Disney fan. The girl's tears dried quickly. It was not the first time that the singing employee of the French ambulance service made his patients forget their problems for a moment.

Paramedic in Strasbourg: "A smile on the lips even in the most difficult moments"

What touches millions of people around the world is apparently a matter of course for paramedic Mike Ayden. "We took care of a little girl who is a big Disney fan," he said of the day the viral video was made. It was only logical for him to sing the music of "The Lion King" to the girl and thus calm her down. "The tears turned into a smile," reported the paramedic from France in the description of his video shared on the TikTok platform at the end of April.

"What better could you ask for than to see a smile on your lips even in the most difficult moments." He wanted to let his patients forget their illness with music, at least for a short moment, the Frenchman explained his passion. Mike Aydens has almost three million views on TikTok. The paramedic proves that his special commitment was not an exception, but is part of his everyday life. In his first post on TikTok, which now has almost two million views, he also sings - seemingly unobserved and filmed by a work colleague - while cleaning the ambulance.

Thousands of viewers are enthusiastic about the video from the ambulance: "I am very touched"

The network was moved by the use of the paramedic. "Goosebumps" or "So beautiful!" were just a few of the more than 6,000 consistently positive comments that can be found under the TikTok post. "As a mother, I am very touched. Bravo!" was one of the reactions. "The little one will have a different view of paramedics thanks to you. Respect, everyone should follow their example," praised another TikTok user. "At 33 years old, can you ask the paramedic for a song from 'The Lion King'?" someone else asked jokingly. It was probably one of the few moments on the internet when no one had anything negative to say.

The paramedic can still remember the first time his music helped a sick person. He had transported an elderly lady in his ambulance, who was very sad to be taken to the hospital. "I hummed 'La Vie en Rose' and she asked me to sing louder," the paramedic told French radio station France Bleu. "I saw a tear in her eyes and knew what I had to do," Ayden continued. Since then, he has been asking the people he accompanies in the ambulance what music they like to listen to and adapting to their wishes. It is not always appropriate or possible to sing in his work, but Ayden restricted.
