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 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."

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.
