Ed note: Are you having trouble pronouncing the name of your doctor, nurse, aide or caregiver? Do you understand that the shake of a head can mean “yes” instead of “no.” We are so fortunate at Skyline and in Seattle to be surrounded by so many cultures – enriching us all. ZdoggMD’s parents immigrated from India. He has his way of both honoring and poking fun at his cultural roots.
From ZdoggMD : “This video is dedicated to all those hardworking immigrant clinicians who bust their butts on the daily to care for our most vulnerable patients.
“It’s a tribute to “Foreign Medical Graduates” like my father, who came here with almost nothing but the desire to care for others while making a better life for their families and communities. They are a true American success story, and they’re often the backbone of healthcare in our rural and disadvantaged communities.
“Let’s laugh while joyfully celebrating the contributions immigrants have made to our healthcare system and local communities.
“Communities like Victoria, Texas, which opened its doors and lent some legendary Texas hospitality to Team Z for our video shoot. Docs, residents, nurses, NPs, MAs, pharmacists, staff, firefighters…they all contributed to this musical tribute and made it possible. Don’t miss the behind-the-scenes live video we shot on location with the wonderful healthcare professionals who gave up their weekend to film with us!
