- You guessed it, it's mail time.
00:02
I finally opened my P.O.
box and went to go check it.
00:04
You guys have already
flooded it in just two weeks.
00:08
Today, I was planning on
filming a different video
00:11
but as you can tell I'm a
little under the weather,
00:13
I have my tea here to help
me get through this video.
00:17
It's green tea with manuka
honey, if you guys are
00:21
And most importantly, I have
my surgery scalpel to open
00:24
up all these letters.
00:27
(unsheathing sword)
00:28
- All right, first letter.
00:30
Bear, if this doesn't have Anthrax speak.
00:31
I've never opened a letter with a scalpel.
00:36
Ooo, it feels so smooth though.
00:37
Something fell out!
00:40
It's like what I wear on my scrubs, guys.
00:43
Dear Doctor Mike, I hope
this letter finds you in good
00:45
health. My name is Libby. I
love your videos on YouTube
00:47
so much. Thank you Libby.
00:49
I've actually thought about
becoming a doctor because
00:50
of you. You're videos just
put a smile on my face
00:53
and I got interested in
medical stuff, that I find
00:55
all of it so fascinating and
I hope that one day I can help
00:57
people like you help
me, and your patients.
00:59
Can you please make
more videos about Bear?
01:01
Bear, look Libby wrote you
this letter. Can I finish?
01:03
Libby wrote you this letter,
and she wants to see more
01:07
Dear Doctor Mike, thank you
for being a light in dark
01:11
times and a true inspiration.
I love and support you,
01:14
Emmanuelle. Keep in touch
with Craig and Erica.
01:17
I don't know who Craig and Erica are.
01:20
You sent me a stethoscope.
I don't wanna open it cause
01:21
I so many stethoscopes but
this is so nice, and you
01:24
got me a purple one.
01:26
Emmanuelle, why are you
spending money on me? Stop.
01:27
Is it bad if I gift this to
someone who actually needs
01:30
a stethoscope and can't afford their own?
01:33
Let's get this to somebody
who actually needs a
01:35
stethoscope and doesn't have one.
01:37
I've worked with nurses who
were just entering training,
01:39
I've work with doctors in
residency who couldn't afford
01:41
a nice stethoscope like this.
So maybe I'll gift this to
01:44
somebody, and record this
interaction so you can see
01:46
that your stethoscope went to
good use. Thank you so much,
01:49
This one doesn't have a name
on it, just has an address,
01:53
and it's not even addressed to me.
01:55
It's addressed to P.O.
01:59
You can write my name on the address.
02:00
By the way, don't ask why
I have a scalpel at home.
02:02
I like to do minor surgical
procedures at home sometimes.
02:04
Your knowledge on human
health has taught me so much,
02:07
I love your passion for
helping people live happy
02:09
and healthier lives. It's
been a tough year for me
02:12
because I have struggled
with anxiety and depression.
02:14
But watching your videos
really warms my heart,
02:16
can you read this on video?
02:18
Emmanuelle, I did read this on video.
02:19
This is the small Emmanuelle.
02:24
Emmanuelle, you also
sent me the stethoscope.
02:25
Good luck on your everyday
struggle, stay happy,
02:28
But know that it's okay
to be sad sometimes.
02:31
As long as you get back to baseline.
02:33
All right, this is from Alyssa.
02:34
Hello, my name is Alyssa,
I'm 20 and currently going
02:35
into the medical field to become an RN.
02:38
I recently watched your
YouTube video on your reaction
02:40
of Grey's Anatomy, which
used to be my favorite show
02:42
and it just excites me and
pushes me to try harder
02:45
Alyssa, this was an adorable letter.
02:49
I get a lot of compliments in
the YouTube comment section,
02:51
it does feel great to get those,
02:54
but to get something like
this, that's very personal
02:55
and hand written, and you
know, this picture of you
02:57
and your grandpa. That
means a lot. So thank you.
02:59
No person's name on
this and no name for me.
03:01
Also, I feel like this envelope
has been through a lot.
03:06
It just looks stressed out.
03:08
Like, I feel like it was carried
here by a pigeon carrier.
03:10
And there's this cute little barn swallow.
03:12
For those of you who don't
know what a barn swallow is,
03:14
I don't know that it's this
bird, but it says barn swallow
03:17
and I think it's a funny
name for a bird to be called
03:20
I'll say it again. Barn swallow.
03:23
Dear Doctor Mike, don't
open gift from me on camera
03:25
What kind of letter is this?
03:29
The hand writing looks eerie similar.
03:30
Oh my God it's her. It's Emmanuelle.
03:34
She sent three letters already!
03:36
I hope you're sending this
as a joke cause you wrote
03:38
L-O-L, I'm taking this as
a joke cause I am opening
03:39
your gift on camera.
03:42
There's another from Emmanuelle.
03:46
Here I thought I had a lot of fans,
03:51
but apparently Emmanuelle
is the only one that watches
03:53
Emmanuelle, where do you
get so many envelopes from?
03:56
And I should have known,
you're the only person
03:58
sending barn swallows.
04:00
But the fruit of the spirit
is love, joy, peace, long
04:02
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.
04:04
P.S. love your videos.
04:07
Stay happy and healthy. Hashtag
world's greatest doctor.
04:08
Hey Doctor Mike, my name is Alyssa.
04:12
I'm a college student, I
love watching your videos
04:14
during my study breaks.
04:15
Thanks for radiating so
much positivity and so many
04:16
people happy, including myself.
04:19
It's peewhoop. peewhoop.
It's a p. Peewhoop.
04:23
Well this is really cute.
04:29
I will hang this up on my
fridge like a proud dad.
04:31
I have been talking to someone
claiming to be you for a
04:35
I'm just simply wondering
if it's truly you who is
04:39
making me the happiest woman on earth?
04:41
Molly, unfortunately this
has been happening to many
04:43
people. There's a lot
of imposters out there.
04:46
Both on dating sites,
Instagram, on Facebook.
04:49
I try every week, search my
name and report these imposters
04:51
because I'm a verified
account, Instagram and Facebook
04:57
expedites taking them down.
05:00
I guess the easiest way to
sum this up is, it's not me.
05:01
Any account that doesn't have
the blue verified check mark
05:04
I only have one account on each platform,
05:08
no personal accounts.
05:10
So, whoever you are talking
to please report them.
05:11
Don't even bother
continuing talking to them,
05:13
or given them shame, cause
it's only going to feed
05:16
into their ego and make them
want to do it more often.
05:18
So, just block them, move on,
05:21
and I'm sorry you've
been taken advantage of.
05:22
Dear Doctor Mike, first
of all I absolutely love
05:25
the content you produce.
05:26
Your channel is incredibly
entertaining and informative
05:27
Is there a possibility you'll
address diseases, such as,
05:31
The reason I ask, is because
I know a person who has ALS
05:34
and I'd really like for as
many people as possible to be
05:37
I've included a sticker
that was inspired by
05:41
the person I mentioned with ALS.
05:43
He is on Twitter under
the username dog bomb one.
05:45
These stickers are being
sold in limited runs
05:47
as a fundraiser for ALS
research in dog bomb's name.
05:49
Thanks for sending this Travis.
05:52
Thanks for this adorable
sticker of a dog riding a bomb.
05:54
I would like to make a video on ALS.
05:58
You know what, I'm going to
check out dog bomb's Twitter
06:00
ALS can kiss my fuzzy butt.
06:04
There is no known cause,
no treatment, and no hope.
06:04
Unless you help. If you're
able, toss in a couple bucks
06:07
All right, I'm going to make
a little donation right now.
06:12
Travis, because of you I
just donated a hundred bucks
06:14
to the ALS association.
06:18
Dianna from Missouri.
06:21
M-I is Missouri right?
06:23
I'm working on my states.
06:24
Wait, what's Mississippi?
06:25
Doctor Mike, first of I want
to thank you for existing.
06:26
I always learn something
when I watch your videos
06:30
and I try to apply it to my own life.
06:32
I become healthier because
of that, so thank you.
06:34
Dianna, thank you for sending me this.
06:36
The fact that I'm livi- I'm
helping you live a healthier
06:37
life is really important to me.
06:40
Anna from Pennsylvania.
06:41
Oh, she has the little
finger emojis on the thing
06:43
to show me where to open it.
06:46
You always look super-duper
cute in your videos
06:48
and I'm never eating an apple again.
06:49
Well, anyways keep being amazing.
06:53
Also, it would mean the world
if you respond to my letter.
06:55
Anna, I'm responding to your letter
06:57
and awesome drawing right now.
06:58
This is really cute
07:00
I'm going to put this on my desk.
07:01
Okay, we have Sarah from Florida.
07:02
I live in Florida, home
to old fart street.
07:03
Bingo. Just kidding.
07:06
My dad is a retired pathologist.
07:08
Fun fact if you want to
follow me on Instagram,
07:10
my name is blah, blah, blah.
07:12
But to be honest, I never post on there.
07:14
Enjoy your gift card. Sarah.
07:16
Wish we could be hanging out together.
07:20
There's a picture of a bat.
07:22
Got you P.O. box off your Insta story.
07:27
I have never watched your YouTube channel.
07:28
But think you're adorable.
07:30
I am way to old for you.
07:32
I don't- I don't get it.
07:40
Can you at least check out
my (laughs) YouTube videos?
07:43
Laurie from New Jersey.
07:45
Local, yay! Lets check it out.
07:47
Wow, this is really accurate
07:49
and you have my hospital
name written there.
07:51
Hey Doctor Mike, I just
wanted to say how much I love
07:53
Say hi to you dogs for me.
07:57
Where did you go to medical school?
07:59
Also, how did you know you
wanted to become a doctor?
08:00
I hope you have a wonderful day.
08:03
Well Laurie, thanks
for this awesome photo.
08:04
I went to New York Institute
of Technology College
08:06
of Osteopathic Medicine.
08:09
I know that's a mouth full.
08:10
I did one of those seven
year accelerated programs
08:11
where I did three years
of undergraduate studies
08:13
and then instantly moved
on to the medical training
08:17
portion of the program.
08:19
The reason I wanted to
become a doctor was because
08:20
I got to witness my dad
going through medical school
08:22
for a second time in
his life when we came to
08:26
the United States from Russia.
08:27
Watching him go through medical school,
08:29
then residency, and then
develop relationship with
08:30
But it also fit my skill set.
08:35
I was really good at science,
I was really curious.
08:37
And I feel like those
match up very well with
08:39
Kelsey, Massachusetts.
08:42
Patriots suck by the way.
08:44
I'm just kidding, I'm just
kidding, I'm just kidding.
08:45
Tom Brady kisses his son on the mouth,
08:47
that's just awkward.
08:49
He does it for a long period of time.
08:50
Dear Doctor Mike, greetings
from the Boston area.
08:51
and I just wanted to start
off by letting you know
08:55
how much I love your channel.
08:56
I get very excited for Sunday morning
08:58
and now Wednesday night too.
08:59
Do you enjoy going to sporting events?
09:01
Baseball is my favorite, go White Sox.
09:03
What? You're from Boston.
09:04
I'm not a huge fan of
any team in particular.
09:06
I was a huge Bulls fan
when Jordan was around.
09:07
Then I became a huge Lakers
fan when Kobe was around.
09:10
And right now, I'm kind of just hoping
09:13
that the Knicks will get
some kind of decent player
09:15
so I can watch them, cause
I live like ten blocks away
09:17
from Madison Square Garden.
09:19
It's another big one! I'm excited!
09:22
I like the big ones.
09:23
Natasha from Pennsylvania.
09:24
This is so adorable.
09:28
Oh, you have an Etsy.
09:31
Aw, this is so awesome.
09:33
God, Natasha, thank you
so much for all of this.
09:34
I'm going to put this up in my house.
09:37
All right, this says do not
bend, in very big letters.
09:40
Mia drew a little E-K-G strip here for me.
09:44
I'm constantly learning
every time I watch you.
09:47
You seem like an awesome
guy and I wanted to say
09:49
thank you for being you.
09:51
and you painted this on October seventh.
09:53
I'm so grateful that you guys
sent me all of these letters,
09:56
write in my comments section all the time.
09:59
You support me by watching my videos.
10:01
That really does fuel me
and give me motivation
10:03
to continue making content.
10:05
Making better content
10:07
because you know time is limited.
10:09
You have my P.O. box address
10:11
keep sending me letters,
10:13
keep sending me funny stuff.
10:14
I'll be doing these videos
every now and then to show
10:15
the world what kind of stuff
you guys have been sending me.
10:18
I shouldn't be saying this
because I'm a little sick
10:21
but as always, stay happy and healthy.
10:23
Is he chewing on the chair?
10:26
Bark if it doesn't have Anthrax.
10:28
No, why're you punching me?
10:35
