US Hospital gets "Down" with Jay Sean track in support of Cancer Awareness
There are lots of ways people decide to promote awareness of breast cancer: by wearing little ribbon pins, buying sponsored pink products, doing a run/walk with friends. But this one is new to us -- The entire staff of the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Ore. donned pink gloves and recorded a dance to Jay Sean's "Down." Then they posted it on YouTube to the delight of anyone who secretly hopes that working at a hospital is exactly like an episode of "Scrubs."
Not surprisingly, the video has since gone viral. Here's what the staff has to say about the dancing montage on their YouTube page:
"Our employees put together this video to generate breast cancer awareness throughout our hospital system. We had a ton of fun putting this together and hope it inspires others to join in the cause."

UK rnb singer Jay Sean who's track "Down" inspired the video, indeed gave up a career in medicine to follow his passion in music. However still has fond memories and admiration for those in the medical professions. When asked his response to the video:
"The vid is awesome...medicine will always be close to my heart and this is such a worthy and important cause. So maybe I could have been a doctor and a singer at the same time after all then!? Just Brilliant."
