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. Dubbed “TikTok Doc” after the popular short-form video app, Dr Jason Campbell has taken the Internet by storm with clips featuring him and colleagues doing the “corona foot shake”, “the cha-cha slide” and other dance moves. “When you’re in medicine, you see a lot of serious, sad things all the time,” Campbell said. The clips, however, quickly went viral, resonating with a much wider audience clearly in need of cheering up during these dark times. “The overwhelming response has been, ‘Hey, I work in New York City and I love seeing your video after my long day’,” Campbell said.
