Dr. Elvis Francois sang Mike Yung's hit song "Alright" while a fellow resident, Dr. William Robinson, accompanied on piano — as an homage to patients and the stresses they encounter.
Francois posted the video on his Facebook page with a nod to his inspiration.
"Before he retired the legendary Dr. Franklin Sim once told me ... 'As a surgeon, it is your responsibility to bear the burden of worry with your patients …'
"As health care providers we often meet people at their greatest time of need … and sometimes the best gift you can give is a simple reminder that everything will be alright ..."
Another orthopedic surgery resident, Dr. Bayard Carlson, recorded the video.
A Mayo spokeswoman said the doctors recorded the video at Saint Marys Hospital Sunday afternoon. It was the first time they had done the song together formally.
Republicans across the country benefited from favorable tailwinds as President-elect Donald Trump resoundingly defeated Democrat Kamala Harris. But that wasn’t the whole story in Minnesota.
