Dance moves from 'Tik Tok Doc' bring welcome relief from virus blues COVID19
LOS ANGELES - A US doctor's dance videos posted on social media have proven just the right medicine for hundreds of thousands of people, including health care workers, who are cheering him on for lifting their spirits during the coronavirus pandemic.
"When you're in medicine, you see a lot of serious, sad things all the time," Campbell said. "And so we too need a way to remain human, stay sane and a chance to just smile or laugh, even if it's just five minutes out of a 12-hour day." "I got a message today from someone who said his wife was a cardiologist working with COVID-19 response teams and found the videos so refreshing," Campbell said.
Campbell said fellow doctors and nurses at the hospital in Portland were initially reluctant to appear in the videos, but after seeing the positive reactions have joined in the fun."Dr. Campbell's energy and charisma is infectious," said Dr. Renee Edwards, the hospital's chief medical officer. "A skilled physician, he's found a unique way to incorporate the power of positivity into his daily work, helping to lift the spirits of patients and co-workers alike.
