OHSU – Oregon Health and Science University, anesthesiology
resident, Dr. Jason Campbell, aka The TikTok Doc, is showing fellow co-workers how to dance on
the front lines of the COVID 19 pandemic. Just a few steps to reduce the stress of long hours, and to
brighten some of the darkest moments of history. Medical work is undoubtedly
serious. However, at the end of the day, so is dancing, since it recharges everyone with positive
energy, puts a lot of smiles on faces, and keeps everyone sane.
The dancing videos were first posted on TIKTOK, a Chinese-owned
short-form video app, popular in the US,
downloadable for free. Doctors originally began using TIKTOK to counter the
spread of medical misinformation (Goldberg, 2020). The gambit was to meet halfway with 1.5
billion users, 40% between the ages of 14 and 24, to spread reliable medical information
on topics such as sex-ed, vaping and
nutrition, hoping it would go viral. Some
Doctor-generated content reached wide audiences, only it was the TikTok Doc
dancing lesson videos that truly went viral, with 4 million hits plus more, within the context of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The rest is history.
Dr. Campbell was even interviewed live (in a synchronistic session) with the GMA (Good Morning America) show at the beginning of April (GMA April 3; GMA April 8). Below, an AFP compilation of a few of the Dr. Campbell aka Dr. TikTok dance steps videos, including the foot greetings and chachacha clips.

My husband and I separated recently. We’ve been married for six years now and it’s been an abusive relationship in all types of way. I want to figure out myself and fix my own issues so I can be a great mom and wife but I feel like is a waste of time to try to fix my marriage because it’s broken down and I’m emotionally drained and I just want to focus on my kids. And I feel it’s unfair for me to try to fix something that I’m the only one that’s putting effort into. I’m so confused. That had been my decisions until i came across an article in a blog on how Dr.Ogudugu (greatogudugu@gmail.com) helped many people to restore broken marriages/relationships. I quickly contacted him, and he told me what i should do, which i did immediately. Within 48hours my husband came back and the greatest part of it is that my husband has changed completely, he no longer abuses or insults me. Today, he has become a loving and caring husband.
