James Bone: I'm a doctor and was holding back for the entire video; given that we are trained to hide our emotions in clinical settings. I heard "Trust me…" and rolled my eyes, assuming the narrator was about to say "I'm a doctor." When he said "I'm in a lab coat" I lost it laughing and crying at the same time. You don't need a medical school education or a PhD to positively influence people's lives, or any formal education at all for that matter. Just a simple message like this can really influence a person's outlook on life and how they feel about themselves. Even someone like me; a cold, conditioned medical professional whose life centers around neutralizing my feelings and emotions. I'm going to call my dad and do this as soon as it isn't 3:20 a.m. on a Thursday night, because I have a day off tomorrow.
