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

Bear.
Is he chewing on the chair?
(static)
Bark if it doesn't have Anthrax.
Bear, speak.
No, speak.
No, why're you punching me?
(static)
Woof.
(woof)
