HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2017
- Hi Guys! Currently I'm on my infectious diseases rotation (a sub-specialty of internal medicine). Today I'm taking you to the hospital to see what a day is like in this specialty! The focus is treating infections - viruses, bacteria or fungus. All sorts of "weird and wonderful" things!
THIS WEEK'S FEATURED Q&A:
4:42 "How do you manage to memorize so much?" (question by Irhan Naqshandi)
But also discussed...
1:40 "Why is the ward?" (question by soccerlover401)
2:46 Why should you get the flu shot? (soap box moment!)
COMMENT below to say hi or if you have a question you want featured in upcoming videos!

My son, when he was 13 months was in the infectious disease department for what they thought was meningitis. It was the scariest week of our lives. The doctors were so fantastic and helped us feel at peace with what was going on. Thank you for caring :-)
oh wow Angela, I can imagine that must have been very stressful for you!
I Iove the little cartoon Siobhans that give quick tidbits of information 😊
heheh thanks Rupaali - gotta give credit to Bitmoji!
they are so cute and a good idea!
Did you get the idea from Jamie? She does that too! Love you guys both
Me too! 😁
Love them Bitmojis
Love your vids and the little cartoon definitions!! 😅🙌🏼
hehe thanks Sarah! I always have fun making those!!
I LOVE how you put the informational pop ups throughout the video, they're definitely helpful for beginners like me lol 😉 Also, I have so much respect for you. I mean, you're so calm and you really know what you're doing! These videos are definitely my guilty pleasure, keep doing what you're doing. 💗💗💗
*These videos are gold! As a current 2nd-year med student, you inspired me to start my own channel :)*
Thanks Denovo - that's awesome to hear, I'll have to check it out!
Denovo Tutor just SUBSCRIBE, make me proud
I subbed so you better make me proud lol
you articulate so well! it sounds weird but I can listen to you talk for hours
aw thanks Tiah!
Yes!!!! I am new to her channel and I feel the same way! I even have her turned on while I am charting myself lol! I can't see the video but the way she speaks, I feel as if I can see it.
Yes
سلام
@@ViolinMD Robert Pattinson
As a HCA student I love how informative and lighthearted your videos are, and doesn't violate HIPAA. These are helping me learn how to communicate with clinical departments. Thank you!
You are so bright and refreshing! Your hospital and patients should really feel honored to have YOU! You are a great doctor and RUclipsr!!
Thanks for promoting the flu shot. Us folks on immunosuppressants appreciate it!
My pleasure Amber!! ☺️
Yeah... I haven’t gotten mine yet this year...
I don't get the flu shot.
Greta Halleniece but if you get sick then those who dont have strong immune systems might die. How would you feel knowing you killed someone or could have and just dont know...no hate just a fact
I find your videos so soothing to listen to. You’re so well spoken and just a positive energy. I find it very fascinating watching the hard work doctors do on a daily basis.
You mentioned asking your pharmacist! I felt so special!! Thank you for advocating for us! ❤️
I love that you are putting this kind of information out there to inspire people considering medical school. I love your perspective, honesty and energy. People who find you channel are lucky indeed! Continued luck and best wishes to you.
i love your channel so much! I’m actually a nursing student, but i still love your videos! Your personality and positivity is just so contagious 😊
Seems so cool. I can tell that being an ID involves a lot of collaboration with other doctors. I think I want to specialize in Infectious Diseases, I've always loved learning about bacteria and viruses.
Tough question but what’s ur favorite family of viruses? Favorite bacteria?
I love how clear and mature you talk! When your describing something i don't know anything about it makes it easy to understand!!
I really love your videos and your energy! I just graduated Cosmetology school (I know, not anywhere near medical school) but you’re advice on remembering things has really helped me. Specifically when I am trying to explain things to my clients or other students. So thank you Siobhan for helping people so much and spreading your knowledge!
I love the new “featured question” element of your video. Super helpful 😁
Great perspective, and thank you for the education on the flu shot! So glad you are spreading the facts and helping to keep others safe! (Kinda fitting that you get your flu shot on I.D. rotation!)
I'm a very visual learner so drawing diagrams or small pictures to help me remember information is really helpful to me!
Totally agree!
Do you ever get nervous or scared working with people who have something very serious and contagious and how do you handle it??🤔🤔 Thanks☺
ooo great question! very relevant during this rotation. If you use personal protective equipment well (gloves, gown, mask) and wash your hands well, you should be fine! Honestly, the hospital and nurses are excellent about putting signs up to warn you about how protect yourself. BUT it does cross my mind sometimes.. its probably tougher for emergency doctors who are front line when patients first come into the hospital though!
Violin MD Thank you so much for answering my question.😄 Love your videos😁
Variable by hospitals. But several ED I worked with have a semi open protection suite that a helmet with mask cover your entire head and a gown like dress. An air intaker with HEPA filter on your waist will pump the clean air directly into the helmet.
I remember that episode Grey's Anatomy when a resident got in contact with an HIV+ person's blood and they showed how hard it was for her to not know for about 6 weeks if you will be positive or not... I know it's TV drama again there but I imagine skin-blood-contact is not so unlikely...
+Mary Lu Debra yes 3pm 8am GMBC yes ko YES yes ko YES 3pm yes GMBC
Love your videos! Please keep this radiant and lovely personality, we need more doctors like you! ❤️
I gotta say I love your videos! I’m not in med school or anything medicine related (my anxiety/panic disorder keep me from school) but if I could I would love to go into medicine! Your videos are so interesting! I’m currently doing a class online to become a pharmacy technician 😊
These are becoming a highlight of my Saturdays
aw wow thanks John!
Violin MD also love your use of bitmojis.
I love your videos so much! I’m also a violinist. I’m going to school for engineering and just watching you be so happy and energetic makes me want to do the same. Thank you! Makes these days of studying all night seem worth it.
amen on that flu shot rant ! as someone with an autoimmune disease i'm glad you're spreading awareness regarding it as when I get sick its absolutely horrible and usually en up in hospital
As a future Pediatrician, I find your vlogs so incredibly helpful. I am so over the moon that I found this channel! I absolutely love your personality. I can never be in a bad mood while your videos are playing!
You are amazing ang coming from a patient, THANKYOU !!!!!!!!!🎈🎈🎈
Have a Wonderful and Healthy Monday!!♥️
I love your videos! I am a second semester nursing student and these videos make me so excited to get into my clinicals this semester!
I'm applying for graduate entry medicine here in the U.K. next year and your videos are so inspiring to me, it's also interesting to see how it is to be a doctor in another country. One question I have: How do you fit your studies as a resident (exams etc) around your actual day to day job as a resident?
I really enjoy watching your videos. You look so gentle and sweet and I think that's why I enjoy watching them. I want to become a nurse in the future and I know you're a doctor, but this makes me feel like I actually do love medicine really much. Thanks for these amazing videos again, always stay positive, you're amazing!
My name's Daphnée btw :)
I love your vlogs so much. Your intro gives me life every time i hear it!
Why are you such a saint?! 😍
I really appreciate how you explained the reason to get your flu shot and that it's not all about keeping you healthy. I am immune compromised and I'm not able to get the flu shot so I appreciate everyone in my family who does as well as all those around that I am in contact with. I like how you said it's how we can help our society and the people around us.
All those pop ups or note bubble are the cutest. I’ve GOT to learn how to do that for my videos!
You are so gorgeous!!- also I wanted to thank you so much for sharing theses videos I absolutely love seeing you around the hospital and your work hours and I actually learn a lot from watching your videos! You are so entertaining!! And such A great Doctor. A true inspiration!! So thank you for allowing us to watch your life! Sending well wishes!
You are goals!!
Can't wait to start studying medicine😬😬 thank you for giving a little bit of an inside scoop on what I can expect!
I love your tips and pop up definitions you put throughout your videos. Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for taking us through your journey! It’s interesting and helpful for me as a pre med student who loves to know what my future looks like! I love that you keep with violin because I also love ballet and have worried I have to give up my one passion for the other. Seeing you do both is awesome for me.
As far as specialty I love infectious diseases, children, case variety, patient interaction are all super important to me. Out of all the interests and things you in medicine, how can you pick your one true specialty?
Oooo really tough question! I’ll try to answer this in a video because it’s so interesting!!
i worked in the engineering field but i loved watching your videos cause i am always been intrigued about the medical field. your videos are very informative. keep it up.
Your videos make me so excited (but a little bit scared) for med school! So informative & helpful xxx
I'm not a doctor or anything (teacher!) but I love watching your vlogs. You give off such a positive vibe - your patients are lucky to have you. Keep going! :-)
I love your videos. Your editing is on point ;)
Jennifer A hey no wonder Jennifer A was taken as a user name
Awesome!! Keep up the great work doctor.
I love how informative you are!!
You're a wonderful person with quite a lot of experience and knowledge. I love every single video of yours. I assume that I've watched each one. I also like your smile that you show in every single moment despite the challenges you face every day. You are genuinely kind! My dream is to become a doctor specifically a paediatrician when I grow up. I'd love to help people as well. I wonder how did you deal with your failure and stress? I can't wait till I finish GCSE and go to medical school!
My question is how can I become a more confident person?
Your vidoes are soo informative and fun at the same. Your going to be a great doctor one day after you complete your residency. Im starting Med school 2018. Your motivation rocks.
Is she a doctor.
Ahh I just discovered your videos, I came from your Instagram - they are all so great!! Can't wait for my ID rotation, also, I love that you actually vlog in the hospital haha it's the best!
i’m currently taking microbiology and when you talked about cellulitis i got a bit too excited because i knew exactly what you were talking about!
Hi! I'm not a doctor and I don't even plan to be one but I am one of your subscribers bcos I LOVE your positivity when you are working! 💙💙💙
I love all your videos. Thank you for all u do. I started watching about a month ago .
I started watching yesterday with the hospital codes. Now I am addicted with watching your videos!!!!i love your content
someone i know 😉 who is a retired physician said that after he would read a topic and then go for a quiet walk outside and review all of the material in his mind. we both loved your tips though he had no idea what a question bank is. great job!
awww so lovely!!!
Great Video thinking about studying Nursing and these tips and all of your other ones are definitely going to help thank you and keep up the great work
Thank you for letting us see what your infectious diseases rotation looks like. Drawing diagrams and flash cards is what works for me in med school, I would try some of the other ones you said. By the way, I would love to know some time management tips you may have when it comes to studying. Lots of love!
Switching up your study spot can be really helpful because subconsciously you associate that place with the terms you're learning (I'm not a med student, but I've had to study and memorize a lot for foreign language classes)
I LOVE your videos!!! ❤
I work as a nocturnist in Newark, NJ and working in a hospital can become really frustrating. But watching your videos and seeing your enthusiasm re-energizes my motivation! 🙂
Hi, what's a nocturnist?
A doctor that only works night shifts
@@DrAbdulRehman1989 ok, thank you! And thank you for helping people too 😊
I’m 28 and take immuno suppressants because of my heart transplant that I told u about before PLEASE GET YOUR FLU SHOT for people like me :)
chris weston no
Never!!! Read an actual insert. I will not put my health at risk on your behalf.
LoraJ How does a flu shot endanger you? Most people are safe taking one. Hell a flu shot prepares your body in case you have to fight the flu which is unlikely IF you get the shot.
LoraJ selfish.
LoraJ why are you even watching this? You clearly have no idea about even basic medicine and don’t care about science
Looking at your other vids, it was a rather short day for you that day! 😂😂😂 Loved the vid 👍🏻
Oh my God I'm so glad I found you. I'm also a medical student I'm 19 years old and ending my second semester of my second year (here in my country, Nicaragua we don't do premed hence, why I am so young) and I also play the violin.
wow small world - thanks for reaching out Cheryl!
I love your videos, it's informative, and engaging. Thank you for investing time to make these kinds of videos, I greatly appreciate it ☺
OMG HER VIDS ARE AMAZINGGG!!❤️ BTW LOVE YOUR LONG HAIR 💁🏼♀️ AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FRECKLES 😊 ALSO UR DIMPLES ❤️❤️
Hi Siobhan, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos!! They are really insightful and engaging, and your positivity always puts a smile on my face. Your passion for both medicine and music is truly inspiring, so thanks for sharing your journey
*SO cool to see a fellow Doctor-RUclipsr! Let me know if you ever feel like doing a collab video with a surgery resident :)*
Best resident's vlog I've ever subscribed to. Thumbs up 👍
Your positive energy is infectious.
Thank you for recommending Uworld... someone told me about this last year and I was forever trying to remember what it was called!
haha oh good!
I love your channel!!! I'm an aspiring doctor and is currently on my pre-med. You inspire me!!! Please continue doing what you do!
your videos are so, so good...i look forward to them. thanks for being so informative and so interesting to watch!
Thanks Ryan!
Aww man I wish I could have seen that infection on the leg! I love gnarly stuff like that!
I love how you educate me on the med vocabulary thanks a lot! :)
Awesome and unique video! I love how you integrate questions in your vlog!
Thanks MedBros!
When you roam the hospital all day, exposed to so many bacteria and stuff but still so fresh! Haha. Thanks for your vids, it inspired me to pursue medicine. :) hopefully by next year. Fingers crossed!
Haha thanks!! You should see how much hand sanitizer I use in a day haha
I love the little info bubbles. It's like Pop up Video :)
I really look forward to every update on Sunday (Australian time)! (I'm totally addicted) If you are wanting some warmer weather at this time of year you should head down under - currently around 36 degC!
Have you ever considered doing VLOGMAS? Any thought of doing videos that show more of a day in the life - I think what we (non-medical professionals) often forget is that doctors are normal humans too and lead normal lives.
How do you keep track of your busy days, do you use bullet journals or some other technique?
Very best wishes from Australia!
Hi Tristan! Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah absolutely I can do that... probably in the new year (got my next few videos planned and I’m excited about them hehe). Stay tuned!
I love watching your videos. I'm an undergraduate majoring in public health and physiology and I'm excited to apply to medical school! Your videos are motivating :)
Oh awesome! thanks Monica!
I had two questions for you -
if you have a patient that is really nervous, how to you calm them down?
How do you deliver bad news to patients?
I’ve never heard anyone talk about these questions, and it would be great to know. Thanks! Great videos btw, the most informative and helpful videos that I’ve found out there.
Thanks Raymond!! Fantastic questions... I will either make a full video about this (bad news, difficult conversations etc.) or at the end of a video. it will get answered though!
Violin MD thank you!
I can't wait to actually be working in a hospital, so exciting!!
I learned a lot of English words from your videos. I wish you would have a great future and career. Thank you a lot.
I just had my followup with ID this week. They are putting in a port to do 6 weeks of iv antibiotics to get rid of the e.coli sepsis ive had from a micro abscess in my right kidney since may. Hopefully no more admissions now that ID is involved!
Hi Marianne - aw that sounds awful! I'm glad you are getting good care, but yes hopefully no more ID specialists!! haha
I really love your videos! and I really appreciate your tips and advices.
Loved this video!!!
I don’t know the doctor side but I know the patient side of severe pneumonia and man it’s nice when you’ve got kind doctors and nurses. Being sick with it sucks south
Great tips on remembering things...
especially teaching to some one 👍😊
You have so much energy I wake up lazy at 2pm lol ... when I have early morning I will think of you
I know it's a year too late to comment but I am slowing catching up on your videos! They're so helpful and informative which is nice to have you vlog from this point of view as a resident. It's a funny story because I had cellulitis in the emergency department but initially before I sent to the hospital as per the doctor's orders I could have gone to the urgent care since the only thing I needed was iv fluids and antibiotics so this video really related to me! Also, keep the good work with the vlogss!
I am the aspiring infectious disease physician. I'm currently studying clinical microbiology/ bacteriology as one of my premed subject,it such a fascinating field!!
your little plug: YES!
thank you. i am one of those people. i am immunocompromised. originally i was told i couldn’t have certain types of shots because i’m allergic to eggs. this allergies developed as an adult.
then i was diagnosed immunocompromised. so now i can’t be around people who have had live, weakened virus inoculations because after their body fights off the virus, it “sheds” it and i could still catch it just like any other illness. i’m not entirely sure how i’m suppose to know if some stranger in public has had a live, weakened virus vaccine other than going up to them and asking them...
thankfully, none of this occurred until i was adult so most of the really important and subsequently dangerous illnesses, i have already been vaccinated for.
I really like your day in the life videos cause I have cystic fibrosis so I’m in the hospital a lot and it’s cool to kind of know what they do in a day
Love your videos!! How do you stay so upbeat, even when you're tired or don't feel good?
Infectious diseases rotation always makes me remember the times that i was watching house md. omg im gonna cry
Holyyy your amazing doctor I just had knee surgery and I wish you were a doctor at that hospital!!!
I was in a nursing home for 8 months and required intermittent catheterization. Well, I ended up with a resistant bladder infection that was starting to spread. It was improperly treated and I ended up seeing an infectious diseases doctor. They saved my life.
DUDE I just had to do a persuasive speech and I chose to talk about why you should get vaccinated and I talked about why you should get the flu shot and I made those same points! :D
AWESOME Nikki!
I love your videos! I know I'm young but I really want to be a doctor when I grow up! Your tips and tricks always help me in school to! One thing I always do is practicing with other people. We do something called a clicker quiz which is just answering questions on a little device. Thank you for inspiring me!
I’m 13 and Im studying microbiology :)
I have been researching it for a few years and I like learning about infectious diseases. I want to work in a biohazard safety level 3 or 4 lab with the most pathogenic microbes. I have researched the basics, and the types of conditions. I am learning the genetics and also I am learning the body’s response to an infection. I am really interested in how the body responds, and why it can go wrong, like for example septicemia.
Diseases/microbes that I have researched:
-Influenza (different types)
-skin infections (mostly cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis)
-Hemorrhagic diseases (mainly filoviruses, such as Ebola and Marburg)
-meningitis (both viral and bacterial)
-encephalitis
-meningoencephalitis
-mrsa
-prion diseases
-polio
-rabies
-pertussis
-diptheria
-parasitic infections (eww)
-primary amebic meningoencephalitis
-and more :D
Sorry this list is long but I just love this . I have aspergers and microbiology is my interest. I have read a LOT of things but I can’t remember all
Oh yeah also I read about this past epidemic that happened a little after the 1918 influenza pandemic called Encephalitis Lethargica. Pretty scary stuff. Also I’m memorizing and understanding medical terms.
I’m gonna stop writing now, sorry this is so long.
Computer programmers have a sort of trope of explaining their code to a rubber duck on their desk if they can't get it to work because explaining it reveals the error that's causing it not to work. Teaching a concept is such a powerful learning tool!
Im a new subscriber from finland and loving your videos! Do u have a specific shift schedule or is it just different every week?
I love your videos !!!!! Im from chile 🇨🇱 and you are so nice!!! Saludos!!! Eres la mejor!
Hello my name is montez soliz. I am 16 years old and i just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making youtube videos of your experience being a medical resident. While im not a medical resident or student at that im excited for it to come. My question is as a junior in high school what were some tips you do that helped you retain all of that information your given everyday? Because medical school to me is looked at as being hard and remembering a lot of information in a short amount of time but i know there are tips on how to not make those years so crazy. Responding to my comment would just make me so happy knowing my true role model is taking the time to reply. Thanks!
I'm so glad you are getting your flu shot! From someone who is immune compromised!
