♬ #hiteverybeat - lulbabyynelii Dancing doctor Baker is not dancing alone. Stepping to Drake's"Toosie Slide" or swaying on beat in TikTok's popular #Leanwithitrockwithit challenge, health care professionals are using dance moves to entertain, inspire, and encourage each other. Resident physician Jason Campbell from Oregon Health and Science University films his moves once work is done, usually after 10- to 12-hour days, he says. @drjcofthedc Only SMEEZES allowed.
♬ She Gon Go - Trill Ryan "The videos are not meant to detract from or lessen the severity of the virus," Campbell explains. "They are meant to be a small reminder of simpler times and to give people a smile or a laugh -- to potentially give people the only smile and laugh they have had in their day." Campbell, who says he's an old-school Harlem-shake type of guy, says he began posting TikTok videos to inspire youth to pursue higher education.

All these negative reviews from people. These doctors also need to stay mentally healthy because of the long hours of work.
When they r so busy helping people how r they getting time to do all this coz even for good dance it takes time to synchronize the step , either they r good at profession n dance 🤷🏻♀️or ....
I SEE NO DANCING HEAR NO BEAT SING NO SONG. 🙈🙉🙊
Not even interesting. When they finish the dance..maybe healthcare branch together with a boss,could tell the public about the hospitals history on sold newborns after WW2 till 1990íes as a global trade/stolenbabies/niñosrobados/nestlebebe/ukradenebebe/kindesraub? COVID19
I thought they were overwhelmed and crying
The USA is joke
Me parece bien que se alegren . Es un poco extraño bailar así después de ver personas muriendo q capacidad de desapego
安倍首相は国民に布マスク２枚しか渡さず現金給付もごく限られた人のみというひどい対策。緊急事態宣言による休業補償もなしです。 そんな中こんな動画を撮って国民に自粛を要求。
If you’ve ever been in a life & death situation, you know dancing is about the last thing you’d feel like doing...even on a break. I call BULLSHIT.
Cute
Chinese doctors danced and you said it was propaganda, they were forced to, now your doctors are dancing too,FUCK CNN
和谐
But the hospitals are so full All the PPE the buses are wearing, will they change upon entering back into the hospital? If their is a shortage isn't this a complete waste?
Guess they aren’t too over worked
🤔🤔
Thought CNN has been saying they can't get masks and gowns?
People are dying and again another party by heath care givers
Love it!
Guess they have more time in their hands then previously thought
How did they find the time to practice this 🤔
Now I am not a healthcare worker. But when i am super busy at my job, I don't have any time for this crap.
How much fun! I've never had time at my job to go out in the street with my colleagues and get all 'foot loosey' since I usually have work to do. HypedPandemic
Lol how I be dancing when I hear Toni Braxton lol
This must’ve been when the hospital was so overcrowded they were told to go outside and work on a dance routine.
Must not be a war zone if they find time to make dance videos
You guys look like you have plenty of PPE and not enough patients
Asaw bɔn nkum asaase. Onkum virus nso.
I’m not a fan of these videos bc some ppl think we’re messing around & not working 1- we’re allowed to not work 24h/day 2- there isn’t time to do this on-shift; this would’ve been done off-shift 3- something to distract yourself from the horrors you’ve seen is important
If in a such situation you guys are dancing defenetly big question mark on you it’s could be a dance of deevalllllll
What's it called 'We're short of ventilators shuffle' ?!?!
Let these people blow off steam how they wish...
cnn 'shocking stories from the er' also cnn 'look at this group of 15 healthcare workers memorizing dances for social media'
🥰👏
