Viral Video: 3-year-old boy "check-up" father's health [he wants to be a doctor]

Kids are unstoppable when it comes to pursuing something they want, whether for extra screen time before bed, or for becoming a doctor.

Just like three-year-old Jakobi Nichols, who told his father he wanted to be a doctor.

Being the supportive father that he is, Dequan Nichols made sure he had his little doctor's daily appointment.

The daily check-ups

When Jakobi told his father that he wanted to be a doctor, Dequan decided to make it official. The father bought his 3-year-old son's doctor set and booked a daily appointment. The purchase included the doctor's gown and all the other toy instruments. Recently, Dequan filmed his check-up as per the request of Joakobi.

The viral video

Dequan uploaded the video, as suggested by his friends. It garnered a lot of attention online because of how cute the father and son are. The clip started with Jakobi jotting down notes and asking his father his name, to which Dequan answered, "Dada."

The 3-year-old doctor asked, "What happened?" His patient answered that he had a "cramp" in his neck. Jakobi continues with his check-up and uses his plastic stethoscope; then, he gasps with the results. Jakobi again reaches for his pen, probably to write his patient a prescription.

The video now has more than 30,000 views and more than 400 comments. That is something that Dequan did not expect to happen. He said in an interview with Good Morning America, "People have seen the video in India and Brazil. It's just crazy."

People from the Internet find this video cute and sweet. Some are also starting to root for Jakobi in becoming a doctor. One Instagram user even said, "Just a suggestion...get him involved in every (pre-)medical environment from now until forever! L0L" Another Instagram user commended Dequan's support to his child's dream, "Keep inspiring him to follow his dreams. You're awesome!"

The 3-year-old doctor's hobbies

Aside from keeping his father healthy through the daily check-ups, Jakobi is busy doing the things that he loves.

Jakobi and his father love to play basketball together. Dequan is a member of the All-Navy basketball team, and Jakobi is a regular audience.

According to his father, the 3-year-old boy is always energetic, excited, and happy.
