Your voice is so calming and reassuring. Your entire persona comes off as very trustworthy. I would be so comforted to have you as my doctor.
okTay YES!!!!!
Wtf?!
Right omg I would have loved having her as one of my many 🙄drs. I was born with spina bifida.
How many pages the gat
24 hours
most definitely agreed. I don't know how you stay this calm on a 24h shift.
As a newborn hospitalist with 20 years of general pediatrics experience before that, I have to say I wish all MDs were as nice as you seem to be!
Thank you very much Dr. Cogdill - I really appreciate you taking the time to say that!
@@ViolinMD this is amazing
@@ViolinMD how do you stay so calm when you have so many patients to look after. Please advise. Thanks so much
@@ViolinMD I started watching your videos after my sister gave birth to her 3rd daughter. Don't stop what you do because you are wonderful at it
That medicine women is crazy 😜
I will NEVER complain about the wait for staff anymore after seeing this. Your amazing!!
Miss Kelly
A lot of hospitals seem to be short of staff as well which sucks and adds to the waiting
🤣
.
You’re 😂
6ee6e
You are ridiculously smart
Well she is a doctor...
It's interesting as a student of Physical Therapy we all study the same biology and medical terms... It's cool to be able to understand what she's saying.
Samantha Anne they have to be people’s life are in their hands
Samantha Anne Knowledge isnt intelligence
There is nothing ridiculous about being smart.
Your freckles are so precious
Cozette Eastman honestly!
Right she’s so freakin beautiful and adorable🥰
I was in a hospital.
Freckles look good from here.
@greg rafiech
Nobody cares or asked
I never understood those 24 or 48 hr shifts that MD’s have. How safe is that really for patients? 😬
how is that safe for doctors!
same with people who work on ambulances! they pull those long shifts too!
well, the call room/sleep room seems to be a nice setup for them:)
That 24 hr shift is already a blessing. Most residents in some hospitals (and in most countries) work for 24-36hrs every 2-3 days. Surgical residents usually work longer. It’s exhausting.
Siobhan has a really good hospital setting for residents (excellent SOLO callroom, accessible fast food/cafe, and ample amount of patients). In where I work, we’re lucky to have 20 consults/admissions in a day. And we’re lucky if we even get to sleep for 2-3 hrs.
Being a doctor is definitely the best and the worst job. But i would still choose this field everytime :)
they also get some rest time
I am going through your videos again and oh my it has been such a blessing witnessing your journey! I am in grad school to become a trauma focused clinical social worker either in a school or within the medical setting and you inspire me!
Here I am, working a boring sales job, not sure what I want in life, and there you are - with an amazing life! I’m a complete stranger, but I’m so proud of you for what you’ve accomplished. I don’t even know how to start the process to become a doctor, and probably don’t have the confidence to actually go for it, but it’s awesome to see firsthand how it is for someone else. Thank you for uploading! 🙂🙂
I read your comment saying you may not have the confidence to go for a career change.
When you’re ready and you get an opportunity then totally consider a career in something you’re really passionate about.
If you’re really passionate about a career in healthcare looking after others, and you’re ready for the challenges then definitely look at what’s out there. If you work hard and put your mind to it, you can go places.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do!
Everyone needs her optimism and enthusiasm
As a nurse who works in hospital, I love your vlogs. We work very closely with residents and it’s awesome to see some behind the scenes!!
Who else finds themselves smiling while watching her videos? 🤗
j L me always ☺️
j L she is very pleasant
I give all med students and workers so much props, you guys really get no rest. It’s not a easy job at all so thank you for all you do! 👏🏼
I think we all can agree that Siobhan is a Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure
🍛🍑🥚🍜🧀🍕🍙🌮🥣😁😁😎🤔😀😋🤩🤔😂😍🤨🤣😘😐😃😗😑😄😙😶😅😚🙄😆😉🙂😣😊🤗😥
The Sleep Rooms are actually Call Rooms? When I was a patient there, I thought they were for family members that might want to sleep the night. I opened one up once because it wasn't locked and I woke someone up. I didn't realize it was a doctor. Oops 😥
GKJ lmao
ded
yeah they're called on call room for doctors who are on call all day so whenever they have a break, they can have sleep
😂😂😂😂
Nope. Family members can sleep in the patient's room. It's not a hotel.
Ur smile is the only medicine that ur patients need to be perfectly alright.
God bless you sis..💕❤️🙂
I work in the ER and it’s interesting to see the other side. When we page internal med or hospitalists, we have just attendings and no residents. It’s a pretty small ER and our ER MDs directly call on a cell phone line. Lol we had one that was super rude, but really love the others we have. We are so lucky here all of our MDs electronically put in orders.
Its crazy that you don’t get to see messages on your pager! Ours shows a quick message which is helpful. I loved seeing this video! I’m on the paging end so this is super interesting to see! You are great at juggling it all!!
As a nurse, I wish all docs were so understanding when paged like you are. We’ve had countless yell at our nurses, call them incompetent, or just hang up, all for not obvious/“justified” reasons . I’ve had personal experiences like this as well. So from a nurse’s perspective, your patience and understanding is truly appreciated!
I'm up all night at work and I look like a gremlin....you, on the other hand, never lose your beauty! Love the videos!
I’m a Pediatric Hem/Onc RN and have been following your videos for awhile now. I just have to say your positive energy and passion is so refreshing! Your patients are very lucky to have you as one of their docs!!
you are pleasantly so happy despite being tired or stressed. We need more doctors like you!
you are such an amazing hospitalist, so gentle, smiling and kind. thanks for taking us through your work routine as an MD..loved it!
There's something about the way she carries herself. Extraordinary alertness.
I have just discovered your channel and cant stop watching. You are so imformative and its great to know what all the different aspects of the hospital life is like for a doctor. I appreciate what you are doing with these videos. I wish the doctors around where i live were as calming and reassuring as you are. Thank you again Siobhan.
I love the very cute animations you have!
E65eye
You really inspire me to be more happy with my life even if I'm not having the best day. You got up at 4 in the morning and you were still smiling. I don't know how you go it honestly but it really inspires me to be more happy. Thank you for being an amazing inspiration❤️
Thanks
I have been a practicing MD for 23 years, your VLOG is giving me PTSD!!! Man, I am glad those days are over!! Keep that smile!!:)
Haha the pager or the late nights or both?! It’s a crazy exciting and terrifying training process. Thanks for watching and taking the time to reach out!
All of it! I was at UW-Madison, the best and worst of times, just always busy but fun. I think the pager was the worst, anxiety, never knowing, are you going to be doing CPR or does someone have the wrong number!!?:) It will get better....someday;)
I just want to say thank you for always being so happy and patient no matter what time it is! You clearly care about all your patients! It is always much more helpful and reassuring when your doctor behaves like you. So I just wanted to say thank you so very much!
I really enjoyed hearing the specifics of the pages - thank you for sharing!
We actually get trained to read a physician's handwriting cause it basically scribbling
Cute Gal4321 in my country it is not allowed anymore to have it hand-written.. it is all on an integrated medicine tech system
Cute Gal4321 Your Like 9 wtf.
Weave Snatcher why does it matter 😂
Pretty Lacquer , She is saying she is in college and her college course class trains her to read handwriting. She is also basically 9, since if you’re in college and have the username ‘Cute_gal’ then you should probably consider going back to the 6th grade.
@@noonie2525 You sure got them good
As usual an amazing and insightful video, great job doc 👌👌
My goodness she seems like a wonderful Doctor. I'd love to have her if I had to go to the ER with one of my children or myself.
Loved the hypoglycemia poster in the background when you were talking about not eating all day 😂
your med student is so genuine! i wish him nothing but the best in his doctor journey!
MacKenzie B oooohhhhh
So interesting! I had to spend 4 nights in the hospital in mid-February, one of those was in the ICU, and it seemed like a town in and of itself, somehow separated from the whole rest of the world. Neat to see behind the scenes!
you only have 80k subs???? i feel like you should have millions this is all so interesting. seeing into someone else's career on a day to day basis i need more of this. 🍒❤️👩🏻⚕️
90k now
101k now it’s growing quick
From 101k to 110k in a week!
120k now
222k now.
I need a doctor like you in my life that is always smiling. You have such a gorgeous smile it makes you feel very genuine. My current doctor never smiles:(
As a fellow doctor, I just admire so much your personality and how nice you seem to be! Keep it up, congratulations!
You're voice is so calming. No wonder you are a great dr. Brains and a wonderful communicator.
How is it safe for doctors to work such long hours when they have peoples lives in their hands 😳😱 thats insane... how does your mind still work properly when your tired 😴
Emma Louise I believe it's because they are allowed to sleep in between calls during the night. so they just wakeup for the calls and then they can go rest in between
Being on call is not that rewarding tbh. Your brain still “function” and one noise can wake you up and get you alerted. That’s wy we are still so tired when we get home
@@selenaramos4650 difficult to sleep when you know you can receive a call at any time during "your rest", and when you have lots of responsibility on patients' life
Emma Louise she is used to it she does it like almost everyday
I know right
I feel like I’m watching a tv show! And the fact you tell us about some of the stuff with patients but the shot with the empty bed obviously instead of showing the real patient I liked.
It seems as though you've learnt more in your first year as a resident than you entire time in med school because of how big the work load is lol. Great work!!
You are such a good doctor! Wow! I really want to get in the medical field, as is my passion. Your videos are a huge help! I plan on following my mothers footsteps to become an emt, and then hopefully go on to be a paramedic or a doctor or a nurse!
When I’m oncall I get on average 10 bleeps an hour 🙅🏽♂️🙅🏽♂️🙅🏽♂️ it’s so tough juggling that with doing jobs
what made you want this job?
That Medic
EMS?
That Medic i
Fascinating glimpse into your world. Thanks for sharing!
I just found you and I fully plan on binge watching you. This is so different and fascinating to me! You seem so down to earth and of course incredibly educated. Amazing 😍
Coming from a Nurse who works with many doctors who are very Serious with no humor should we say, it makes me happy to see that their are doctors like you who are so attentive, and outgoing. Please dont ever change that! Love all your videos, and am learning quite a bit from them as well :)
This is just what I needed to bring up my motivation after a long day of studying! I'm only an OT student but I love seeing an insight into working in a hospital especially from a different perspective. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos :)
Fun fact: in Belgium, the emergency department is called “spoed”, which roughly translates to “speed”. Because it has to go fast!
glad it's not called that in sweden :D iykyk
Have a great vacation! I am constantly impressed by the content you put on this channel - you've been a natural from the beginning and produce such insightful, informative and well organized vlogs!
Wow the most pretty and peaceful person ever, wish you were my friend, we could all use people like you to be surrounded by!
I like your cheery disposition. You're going to be an excellent MD.
Girl love your videos they’re always so peaceful and uplifting...even though you’re in a hospital😄 good job doc💪🏻
I’m a second year doctor in England, have to say our on calls are so different! It’s more intense in England but we only work up to 13 hours total because of European working laws!
I am Resident of Internal Medicine in México, we work 36 hours, the next day 12 hours, and again 36 hours, Monday to Sunday.
My friend is a resident in the US and she said the same. She’s never been able to sleep when on call.
Nikita Goel I don’t know how doctors work such long hours, especially surgeons! I can’t imagine having to be 100% on and have someone’s life in your hands after being up for 36 hours!
Woah as a trainee doctor I have gone to hospital at 0830, seen a opd of nearly 70-80 patients till 1630 gone directly for emergency duty without eating get 3-4 hrs of sleep get back at 0830 in the mornings then go back to the hospital by 1 to 1.5 hrs later again get back at 6-7 in the evening without eating in between followed by going back again for evening rounds and come back by 0000 hrs😅
@@bannyaroy2497 wow you should get a trainee of the year award
Thank you for actually taking the time to discuss diagnoses, meds, and various other medical jargon. It makes this video informative on so many levels! Keep it up, you are an inspiration :)
Very soothing voice. You seem like you know your stuff. Something about the way you speak and carry yourself gives me the feeling that I can trust you and it makes me want to get my own crap together! I am a teacher and even though this is a different field, I'm invested in your stories/patients! Thanks for the updates! This may be my new fave reality show!
great video!! thanks for making us part of your call shifts and sharing what they are about... it never gets boring! looking forward to more like this
LMAO
Patient: WORST ABDOMINAL PAIN EVER.
Doctor: so i think its acid reflux. LOL
acid reflux can actually be crazy! I work as a lifeguard in a rec complex and we had to call an ambulance for a woman with severe acid reflux because she was showing similar symptoms to a heart attack. It was only when we did a follow-up call that we realized what it actually was. Never in a million years did I think it could be that bad until that happened!
Acid is crazy. I went to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack( pain down left arm with numbness) it ended up just being GERDs.
I've actually had such severe stomach pain from acid reflux I started crying from the pain and I've never cried because of any pain before
I suffer from GERD and I get the worst and I mean the WORST Epigastric pain it feels like someone punched me in the gut. I literally cannot function when I get these episodes. Luckily my PCP has me on Daily Omeprazole and it’s controlled. And I’m an Undergraduate student looking to get in to MED school or PA School.
I already had an acid reflux (due to a lot of stress) and gastritis (due to taking an ibuprofen without eating beforehand) and to be honest it is the worst pain ever! Especially with gastritis, you can’t even eat yogurt without having really bad abdominal pain.
You are very informative and explain things very clearly in addition to that you’re very beautiful too. I can see that you are a very compassionate person and have empathy for other people and that’s what a good doctor needs. Good luck in your journey.
My boyfriend is a sophomore in college and is pursuing a career in the surgical field. This was extremely insightful. I can’t wait to show him this and see how excited he’ll be!
Have you seen a patient where you don't know what their diagnosis is? What do you do if that happens?
call house
I think her answer would probably be that rather than diagnose the person she'd have to just make their diagnosis a list of symptoms, and they'd just treat the symptoms. They'd look for a cause and try to figure out what works.
My dad is a doctor. It happens a lot actually. Usually what he does is take an educated guess and try treatments out until something works.
Kat M thanks!!
Kat M thanks for the insight!
That was very informative! Thanks for sharing, Siobhan.
You just seem so genuine and I wish we had more doctors, and people in the medical field in general, like you!
Ur an amazing doctor I love watching ur videos and never miss them. I wish u were in NYC so we could meet it would be an amazing honor to meet such an amazing person and doctor. Keep trying ur very best like u always did ur whole life don’t give up u can do anything . Good luck I hope u will still make ur amazing videos.
I live in Ireland and I’m currently working towards my grade 8 violin😬 I’ve always wanted to do medicine in university and u have inspired me to keep working hard and get those points in my leaving cert!
It seems everywhere I go all I can hear is a beep now. Restaurants, hanging with friends and family, even in my dreams. Lol
So beautiful. Love the freckles
This is fascinating! My husband was just in the hospital for two nights for an emergency appendectomy, and I found it interesting to observe the ER and the other nurses station, etc. when he was there.
Hi! This is one of the first videos I've seen of yours and I really like them! They are interesting and unique! I hope to be successful like you when I'm older👍🏻
Love the handed over the pager scene. ☺
I could watch these vlogs all day long. You're such a kind and helpful person.
Hello Siobhan, I like your nice Pager in which you can save all the important details and it reminds you about anything. I like your kind caring about the patients Siobhan during your day and night shifts. You are truly a great doctor
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed your vlogs. I’m gonna have to work on catching up on them.
Your marathon on Instagram was just amazing! When I tried to figure out what I am grateful for, I got some interesting ideas for going through my current situations.💡👩🏼💻

Such a happy person :) so much excited and passionate with her job
you are such a happy and fun person!!! i love your attitude. you're perfect
I literally love her! Has such a great personality. New subbie!
omg i just found your channel and i love it!!!!! new sub
Very interesting and informative!!! Doctor, you are the 💣!!! Very personable!!! Just subscribed!!! Looking forward to more videos!!!
Its amazing that you work these long shifts and then edit these videos!! Thank you!!!
I'm planning to become a surgeon and I always wonder how do you guys(doctors) remember EVERYTHING: the anatomy, the medicine, the treatment, the diagnosis, etc. so I was wondering how could you remember all of that? I can't even remember what I ate yesterday so how can I be a surgeon if I can barely remember anything?
in med school its like drinking from a fire hose and it sucks. After med school you don't have to remember everything lol. You specialize and if you don't know something you refer out or look it up.
Even long trained physicians carry reference books and ask peers, but really it’s all about experience and repetition. Honest, you’ll see a lot of the same things over and over again, or you’ll see others see the same thing five times.
Putting everything down helps. Write constantly. Read constantly. Soon it’ll be like anything else- like listening to a familiar song, only it’s the way your pt is breathing xD
Reference books and retention of the information you actually need. When you hit residency (disclaimer, I only work with docs, I'm not one) you learn what you need to retain and what can be safely discarded. For example, surgeons need to have a deep knowledge of anatomy, but not necessarily as much about endocrinology, or neonatology, or crit care. You learn the most from the people in residency who teach you hands on
Samantha Zoma I’m guessing it’s like regular school, where you study and take notes. Doctors and nurses don’t tell you this but they sometimes have to look up conditions or get other doctors opinions.
Samantha Zoma don’t be fooled by those TV doctors in your dramas. They only exist in very small percentage 😂 but from experience, i usually surprise myself when i face trouble. everythung suddenly comes back to you.
This is my favorite video so far :) Fun, very positive and informative! Thanks for posting it and enjoy your vacation!
I love watching these just because it looks like such an interesting job even though myself I could not handle all the stress of all those emergencies. but love all your
videos!
Wow! I just randomly stumbled upon this video and your channel, and this is crazy interesting! I would never think of not only watching, but enjoying a Doctor's vlog lol
Watching this while on call myself gave me so much anxiety
Oh noooo haha bad time to hear more pagers going off! Hope your call wasn’t too brutal!
Very interesting to watch! Good job
You my fine lady are a Boss! You will become and remain a wonderful physician with God's special grace covering you!
New subscriber to your channel! I enjoyed watching you gave a little taste of what its like as a physician starting out! You go girl! Have a safe and blessed time on vacation 😇
Lol the handwriting page. Thank goodness for epic/dovetale ;)
So interesting! I really enjoy your videos. It is a big day for my daughter's boyfriend today as he is taking the MCAT. I pray he does well and the med school of his choice accepts him.
Katrina O'Daniel I wish him good luck! 😊
I’ve been watching all your videos and I’m definitely subscribing I love your channel I’ve always wanted to go into the medical career and you inspire me so much keep up the great work!!
We had an older version of the same pager! The beeps bring back memories!
Great vlog as always have a lovely holiday 🙋♀️
Fun video, as usual! Enjoy your holiday, being Norwegian I was surprised and delighted to hear you mention it:)
Hei hei Norge! Sverige här.
Being a nurse it’s nice to see such a brilliant vlog of your side of things.
I too feel that pager life! I just work in a totally different line of work. Mine is only for the protection historic buildings and objects though instead of actual humans. In fact seeing yours go off made me look at mine in instinct. However, love the video and will probs now get sucked into binge watching the rest.
