- I don't know what just happened.
- [Dr. Bhanusali] You're in an office.
- No way.
- Do you remember us?
- No. Who's you?
- 6:00 AM. Crazy day today.
You're coming with me.
National television shortly,
Chuck Schumer,
flu shot,
getting my eye checked.
They had a laser on my face.
First things first, though.
Got to walk the Bear.
Bear, where are you?
While we're walking the Bears
I wanted to...
Obviously, as I'm trying to tell you a story,
Bear's just like...
Just to do a little rundown
of what's going to happen today.
First, we're going to head over to Dr. Bhanusali's office,
who's my rock star dermatologist friend.
We met not too long ago,
probably a year ago at a medical media event.
He's letting me use his office
to actually give Chuck Schumer his flu shot.
If you don't know,
Chuck Schumer is the Senate Minority Leader.
He's also a good friend of mine.
We worked together on getting EpiPens on planes
after my little fiasco over the Atlantic Ocean.
He wants to get his flu shot,
and I love when politicians put their money
where their mouth is.
Where their mouth are?
Where their mouths are?
Dr. Bhanusali?
- How are you? Let's do the pound.
- Yes. - Long time.
- I know to do elbows- - Long time.
- [Senator Schumer] Because you can't touch your-
- Exactly, and the CDC just updated guidelines
for aerosolized particles, all that good stuff.
- I am getting this flu shot because it's so important
for everyone to get it,
now more than ever
with COVID out there.
It's not just your ordinary flu shot.
It's the same shot that we've had for years,
but with COVID out there,
it's really important to get it.
So I'm getting it bright and early on Monday morning.
- [Dr. Michael] Bright and early.
Do you have any allergies?
- [Senator Schumer] No.
- [Dr. Michael] No allergies. No egg allergies.
I like the pink shirt.
- Yes. - Solid color.
All right, so this is going to be pain-free here.
- [Senator Schumer] Okay.
No problem. - That's it.
- It's easy. It's simple, everyone.
It doesn't hurt.
- [Dr. Michael] And Dr. Michael will do it for you.
- Dr. Michael will do it for everyone.
We can have lines around his office,
but as there are anyway, it protects other people too.
It protects your family. It protects your neighbors.
It protects your community. So get it done.
- [Dr. Michael] And hospitals are going
to be so taking a hard hit with COVID.
So many people are going to be getting sick.
We can't have flu people coming in as well.
We need to keep everyone healthy.
So thank you for leading by example.
- No, no, no. - Now we'll do the elbow bump.
- If it wasn't COVID, I'd give you a hug.
- Save it.
Schumer brought donuts.
What kind of senator brings donuts
to a doctor's office?
We're supposed to be healthy. Mm!
Dunkin? Ooh, which one do I want?
Jelly? But I have to lower the mask.
So I'm not going to do it. Also I gotta get the... hmm?
- [Narrator] A little longer than a few minutes later...
- I just did TV talking about coronavirus
and how it's aerosolized and it can live in the air.
Maria, we in the scientific community have known this
for quite some time.
It's nice to see the CDC add this to its formal guidelines.
Now we're about to have a consultation with Dr. Bhanusali.
Come in here, Dr. Bhanusali.
He runs the best, the biggest dermatology practice
in New York City.
- I appreciate that.
- And he doesn't do just cosmetics, folks.
He actually helps people who are in need.
Tell us about the few cases that you've done recently.
You had someone who got knife-attacked.
You helped them with their scar.
Someone who had a dog attack,
actually the really popular thing that was in the news
with a young boy saving his sister's life.
You helped them out pro bono.
I know you don't like taking credit for it,
but I'm forcing you to do it right now.
Tell us why you did it. I mean, look, we're doctors.
We're supposed to help people, right?
That's our duty. It's our purpose.
Cosmetics is fun. We do a lot of it,
but you have to remember why you go
to work every day, right?
And we had a super sweet girl who was just going to work
like everybody else.
She was attacked and slashed across the face.
It was close to my old office. We helped, right.
And you couldn't find the scar now if you tried.
And Bridger Walker was the more recent one.
His story went very global. - Yeah.
- He's a little boy that stepped in front of a dog
so his sister wouldn't be attacked,
and he was six years old.
And when they interviewed him, they were like,
"Why'd you do it?"
And he said, "If somebody should die,
it should be me." It's like a six year old, right?
So you have to help somebody. - I want to be that brave.
- It's one of those things.
I mean, again, purpose is really important.
So we're lucky and we're blessed
to have tools and equipment to help those kind of people.
And we do our best to do so. - For sure.
All right. So what are we doing today? Talk to me.
So for the audience who doesn't know, check this out.
I have a stye in my eye.
That's right, I rhyme.
This thing has not gone away in six months.
Press on it. Feel it. There's a big ball in there.
And I've tried massaging it. I've tried compresses.
I've tried everything.
- [Dr. Bhanusali] We'll do a little baby injection.
- Oh, we're doing a baby injection to the eye.
I'm scared. Should I be scared?
It's funny. We got Chuck Schumer his flu vaccine.
And now I'm about to get a little steroid in the eye.
Can I go blind?
- [Dr. Bhanusali] I mean, it's possible.
- [Dr. Michael] Okay. But can we not?
Is it going to hurt?
- [Dr. Bhanusali] Eh, talk about it later.
(bossa nova music)
Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke.
Good? - Yeah.
- Oh my God.
I thought I would be going to a dermatologist's office
to get Botox, not to get my eye injected for a stye.
- [Dr. Bhanusali] Give it a couple of years.
- Tell the audience,
what's the purpose of getting the steroid injection?
- So essentially what happened,
there's an inflamed follicle in there.
- Yep. Hair follicle, right?
- Exactly. And we tried the warm compresses,
all the other good stuff.
Sometimes you have to just drop a little bit of steroid,
a little bit, just to calm the inflammation down.
It'll reduce the swelling, which definitely is occurring.
- Swelling, and some days I wake up
and it's more swollen than other days.
- Exactly. - Yeah.
- And a little bit of pain probably too-
- Yeah. - from time to time.
So this will kind of calm everything down,
let your body kind of go back to equilibrium.
These are super common.
Around the eye not as much,
but we do see them quite a bit.
And so usually it takes one or two injections
to really get it to go.
- Hey, we're moving. We're moving and grooving.
So what do we do?
So because of all this stuff
with social distancing and everything,
we want to minimize the amount of people having
to interact with staff and all that stuff.
- Yep.
So I would just press Room 6,
and then my guy would go show you to the room.
- [Dr. Michael] No way. All right, let's follow him.
What's his name?
- [Dr. Bhanusali] We call him Timmy.
- [Dr. Michael] Timmy.
Timmy, don't get nervous, buddy.
Let's go.
Does he talk?
(Dr. Bhanusali responds faintly)
Is this the room, Timmy?
Oh, arrived at Room 6.
Thank you, Timmy. I appreciate it.
I'm ready for my closeup.
You see the little vein here?
He's going to make it disappear.
I love it.
Senator Schumer's vaccine has turned into a spa day.
This is our friendship in a nutshell.
Anytime you need a prostate exam, come on over.
Am I putting these on? - Yeah.
- Men in Black? Are they upside down?
(assistant murmurs indistinctly)
I have a big head? - No.
- I was going to say,
it's the opposite. - Sorry, sorry.
- I have a little head.
This is like Men in Black. Are you gonna erase my memory?
Where am I?
- [Dr. Bhanusali] Three, two...
- I don't know what just happened.
- [Dr. Bhanusali] You're in an office.
- No way.
- Do you remember us?
- No. Who's you?
Is it gone?
♪ I can see clearly now the (indistinct) is gone ♪
Do you see it's missing?
- [Dr. Bhanusali] So we just used a 532 laser.
Essentially, we have lasers
that can target different things.
So if it's hair, it'll target pigment.
With something like this,
it actually targets heme or the redness that you see.
So if you had rosacea, we can do a full global treatment
just to reduce the redness.
For little capillaries like Mike had,
the laser kind of goes micro into this vessel,
and then the vessel, poof.
- There's a quote that I'm going to massacre,
but it's, "If technology is good,
there is no difference between that and magic."
And you just said poof, and it went away.
All right, successfully injected the Schumer.
Sam, you ready? - [Sam] Yeah, we did it, baby.
- Dan, you ready?
- Schumer's a good man.
- Schumer is a good man,
and now he's protected against the flu,
and thereby he's protecting everyone at home as well.
Now we're heading back to the studio,
crossing the street.
We're safe.
And we're going to record another video right now.
- [Narrator] Three hours later...
- All right, we had a lunch break,
had some pizza, 'cause it is technically a cheat day for us.
The lights are lit,
and I'm about to record a really fun video taking a test,
but I won't tell you what kind.
Also, I have a revelation to make.
October is going to be collab month.
And we've already recorded some of these epic collabs
with some of the most popular YouTubers.
Some that you've requested,
some that you're not even ready for.
It's going to be epic, epic, epic.
So I just wanted to share my day with you today.
It's a crazy day.
I think it's the craziest one hour
I've had in a really long time.
National TV, flu shot to a Senator.
Eye injection, my eye's still healing.
Look at it. Look at it.
Now we're filming some more videos.
Back in the hospital tomorrow.
In fact, if you want to see a day in my life
that I shot in the hospital, click here.
I'm going to be recording a new one of those soon.
Or if you want a really good laugh,
check out this TikTok video
that just dropped last week.
As always, stay happy and healthy.
