To thank him for his dedication, his favourite singer Dave popped up on the video call to serenade him with an acoustic rendition of Foos' 1997 smash single Everlong. "I just happen to have a guitar in my lap," he jokes. "Maybe I'll play a little song…"

On top of the beautiful performance, TJ was also thanked with $10,000 and gift packages for every nurse in his department, courtesy of Life Is Good. Amazing work all round, people.
