To all of the haters who say that she shouldn’t be having a camera with her in a hospital due to HIPAA or PIPEDA, if you watch closely you can see that she re-uses B-Roll in many of her videos so that she is never actually filming a patient scenario. This B-Roll is not that hard to film and was probably done in an hour when she had some time before heading up to the on-call room or when she was done her shift and just before she was ready to head home. And frankly, I am happy that there are doctors who want to provide educational resources to not only future healthcare providers, but also potential future patients. To everyone to is saying that she should be studying instead of editing videos...you do know she’s not a machine right. Doctors are not chained to their job and often need other outlets to keep them balanced in such an unbalanced job. Thank you for doing this ViolinMD you are a ray of sunshine and I am proud that we have health care professionals like you in Canada.
It’s not like she is 24 7 working no breaks, I mean come the heck on, without a break or being able to relax for even a minute talking to random strangers online, can make a doctor snap, and people complaining doesn’t help. I like to watch Violin MD at times, and Honestly People who complain kinda make me “sick”. I am funny, AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA -Ded-
I can't speak for a doctor but I work at a hospital and some days you're so busy you forget about food, some days you know you haven't had anything and you just cannot stop, and some days all you do is eat 😂 Definitely had my hangry days though. So I'm right there with you with the crying thing
sometimes you just have to. even with me going to class, tutoring, and meetings all morning and afternoon, I may not eat again until 3pm. bring snacks and lots of water!
@@ViolinMD I've been in the ICU 20 times because of brittle asthma and I always find it difficult to watch your Vlogs when you visit there. One thing for sure though, is that watching your Vlogs and finally being able to talk about things on my youtube really does help me with my ptsd a little bit, so thank you ✌💛✌
@cubomania3 More so that there is never a case of " too many " doctors at a facility. So it's common practice for doctors like this to do extended shifts at the hospital, they still get sleep when they can but if things are busy it's necessary to have them as close of proximity as possible.
@@WalkingOnRainbows12 thank you for sharing. I also have asthma and PTSD. I been wanting to start a RUclips channel. But Iam camera shy bad. I have a garden in my living room and want to show people that even if you have a backyard/patio you can still grow alot of your own food. Thank you for helping to inspire me to start my own channel. Keep up the awesome work.
It's going to take me alot of strength to watch this because my dad was in intensive care before he died but I love your videos you do a brilliant job at giving an insight into the medical world that we dont get to see thank you
We spent 4 months with my Mother in Law in the ICU and I remember the doctors doing rounds. So thorough and unbelievably organized in making plans for the day. We went back months later when she was better and thanked the doctors for saving her life. What you do means so much to families. ♥️
As someone born with Spina-Bifida and Hydrocephalus I have spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals, including ICU's so it is extremely interesting see these situations from a doctor's perspective.
I have been in and out once a year for the past 7 years for bad hearing, hearing aids, 3 surgeries, met the swans thinking of the bird, disappointed that day but got chocolate but not what you have
Stephen Leach it’s actually not. I’m a kidney transplant recipient. Trust me I say it a lot, but I have to say kidney because I’m not lucky enough to have two. 💚
7 months ago I almost died from a chainsaw to the neck and face. Spent 5 days in icu. I wasn’t expected to live at all. Thanks to God and people like you and your amazing medical staff I’m still here to talk about it! Thank you!!
I cannot express how interesting her videos are, as well as informative, I wanna go to medical school and become an anesthesiologist and her videos make me realize the type of doctor I want to be
I love how positive you are! You’re an emergency room doctor, while filming and probably tired and hungry. You’re always smiling and positive and it’s very inspiring! Well done you! ☺️👍🏻

My father was in the ICU for less than a day before he passed there, it’s been very hard. I’ve always appreciated doctors/nurses but now I do even more because I know they did everything they could. I appreciate you and all the hard work you do❤️ May god bless my dad’s soul, he is so missed.
Wooow I am a Saudi Medical student currently doing 2nd year and to see the Saudi Journal of medicine in your vlogs is such an amazing feeling. We worked so hard over here to publish respected articles . Love you You are true inspiration for people all over the world
Being a ICU NURSING ASSISTANT is f’n amazing I work with some of the dopest nursing showing and teaching aids so much if an aid like myself chooses to go to nursing school. I personally love it it’s making me want to either go into emergency medicine or something close to it. This video was lovely

Siobhan, I love how humble and kind you are, your patients and colleagues are so lucky to have you on their team. And the fact that your schedule is so demanding but you still manage to make videos is amazing. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration to us ❤️
My brother spent 3 weeks in the ICU at the University of Alberta when he was 16, Asthma attack leading to 2 collapsed lungs and then on a heart and lung bypass.. apparently he was the first asthmatic to even come off that machine alive in 5 yearsr. they had cameras and students and everyone in when he came off it. Huge love and respect for doctors and nurses that saved his life.
You’re such an inspiration!! So Professional and focused but yet so kind and caring! I just started watching your videos and I can watch them for hours!!
Please post more I love watching your videos! My fiancé was in the ICU for 2 weeks he was in a serious accident so it’s cool seeing these video! I remember learning about all the different things your talking about in this video.
Hi Siobhan I really love you videos. They’re so interesting and it’s so great to see such a kind and compassionate doctor! I’m from Scotland in the UK and here we are very lucky to have the NHS. We are a very fortunate nation to have it, and I appreciate and respect all the NHS staff who work hard to look after us. Saying that, unfortunately, out of the dozens of doctors and nurses who have “looked after” my dad over the past 3 months, only a very small handful have been genuinely caring and kind to him. He had bowel cancer and required life changing surgery to save his life. This surgery was to remove the bowel and give him a permanent stoma. The operation was complicated and the recovery is very slow. The operation was three months ago and he still has at least 15 months before he will be fully healed, if not longer. He has been through A LOT since the operation, such as; He vomited up large amounts of blood which was due the a hole torn in his stomach. He’s had 3 bouts of sepsis. He’s had a blood clot in his arm. He’s been diagnosed with PTSD after vomiting up the blood because he was convinced he would die. He has infected abscesses inside the wound from the initial operation, the abscesses need a tube attached to them to drain out the poison, he has had this tube attached for a couple of months now. The drain causes him lots of intense pain, and it keeps moving so they keep needing to operate again to move it back to the right place. The wound is basically a huge hole where his back passage was, the hole is the size of my fist so it’s extremely painful. He’s been incredibly weak and couldn’t walk as he kept collapsing. His bladder no longer works so he has a permanent catheter which at one point became blocked causing him intense pain yet NHS 24 refused to send out a doctor (even when they could hear him yelling and howling in pain). He is waiting for a psychiatrist appointment because, unsurprisingly, he is now seriously depressed. And now he is back in hospital with more serious pain we believe coming from his kidneys, yet the doctors and nurses who work in his ward are rude, incredibly inpatient and appear to have no compassion or empathy. Dad is currently knocked out with the amount of pain killers he’s on to finally give him some relief. His nurse just came in with a plate of food and said “do you want this?” Dad, unable to speak because he’s so doped up on pain killers, shook his head and managed a quiet whisper of “thank you”. The nurse rolled her eyes, scoffed, and stomped out of the room. They have regularly been getting impatient with him when he’s been crying with the pain, literally shrugging their shoulders, telling him there’s nothing they can do then walking away and leaving him alone for hours. The doctors then came into his room, looked in his eyes and took a pulse and said, I quote “I don’t know what’s wrong with him”. Then walked out of the room before I had a chance to ask any questions. I assumed he was going to get another doctor but no one came back. Unfortunately, this has been the experience we have had with almost every medical professional for these three months. He’s been on different wards with multiple different doctors and nurses, but it seems this hospital is full of staff like this. Of course there have been some doctors and nurses who you can tell genuinely care about their patients and want to help as much as they can, which we have all appreciated so so much. I wonder if these people were to see THEIR father go through what my dad is going through, would they have the same awful attitude? This is the fifth time dad has been admitted to hospital since the operation and EVERY time he’s been discharged far too early, and without any type of care plan in place, none of us received any instructions on his care such as how to keep his wound clean, painkillers, how change the dressing properly and empty the drains. Luckily, mum used to be a nurse way back in the day so she was able to figure out how to do it all and is now his full time carer, however, what would’ve happened if mum wasn’t here? Would dad just have been left to it on his own? If he had, I’m 100% certain he’d be dead right now. We will be putting a formal complaint in. However dad asked us to wait until he’s better, because he’s worried that if we do it while he’s still unwell, that they will treat him even worse than he has already been treated. I don’t know what to do for the best. I am genuinely worried that if I make a complaint, they will treat him even worse. At the same time, I can’t allow this to go on. I do not have the funds to move him to a private hospital. I’m so shocked that he is being treated this way. He is an old man who is seriously ill and I can’t understand how the people who are meant to be caring for him just don’t seem to have any compassion at all.
It hurts me to hear of your father's situation. My father had colon cancer with surgery that resulted in sepsis and being on life support. I relate to your feeling of helplessness. Much respect for you trying to improve his quality of life. Fill out surveys honestly or call administration or an ombudsman. Prayers for your dad and your family.
Siobhan, I sincerely love all of your videos! You are such a genuine human being, and I can only imagine how wonderful you are with your patients. I’m a non traditional applicant applying to medical school this year. I use your videos as my ‘reward’ after I’ve completed a secondary essay (which can be quite exhausting because I work 60 hours a week). My favorite thing you’ve done is the ‘debriefing’ after a shift. I love hearing about the actual cases! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your vlog.
Just finished a night shift in emergency department and watched this video in my car😂 so hungry and exhausted now. Always feeling more positive after watching your video!
I got to see both sides to this. I was trained in a clinical program as an RN. 5 years ago, I was crushed under a low-boy trailer in a freak accident. I immediately knew my chest was flailed, I heard the ribs snap. I also had open, compound fractures of my left hand. Because I wouldn't let anyone at the scene lift me up, I avoided puncturing my lung, much to my surprise. I eventually did have a rib fragment collapse the left lung, the night before surgery. I now have multiple plates on ribs 2-7 & repairs to two fingers as well. All my medical knowledge made the difference. I doubt I would have made it to the trauma ER if I'd punctured the lung at the scene. I'm called the "metal grandma" & other than a funny looking chest, I've recovered well. Enjoy watching your videos!
The way she’s like... “the patient can not get enough oxeygen” and is strolling by. Haha! I know it’s probably not big enough of an emergency to sprint but it still cracks me up
I've spent time in the ICU (about a month and a half but I was in a coma for 3 of those weeks) and everyone who worked there was incredible. I appreciated everything the doctors and nurses did for me and my family. Thank you for everything you do for your patients! We appreciate your hard work and dedication ♡
My sister never made it out of ICU. 50 mins before her death,she said nurses were nothing but snakes & vipers. Pity this 3rd yr student wasn't around to uplift my sisters spirit.
Hospital water is honestly the best water. Crushed ice and cold filtered water. Perfect! I'm not a MP but my partner has CF so we spend a bunch of time there.
While I do not doubt you or your ability to treat your patients, but I would still be nervous to have my doctor on her feet and on call for such a long period of time. In Ireland I think the hours are much more restricted, so doctors can’t work 26 hours at once. You’re a warrior for doing it though.
Doctors can sleep during those shifts when they have the time. Research has been done and patients are less likely to die when staff doesn't get changed out as often.
I wanted to share my collapsed lung experience :)) so about 6 months ago I was admitted to a near by hospital and was placed in the ICU... my surgeon said that my collapsed lung was the worst he had ever seen!! Mainly I only had symptoms of just extreme chest pain and very short breath. I ended up getting a surgery to basically patch up the hole in my lung and I recovered fine and am doing well!!
You inspire me to become a doctor. I been a nursing aide for 12 years and I seen everything imaginable. I done finger sticks, treatments, suction tube, pack bed sores, insert cath. I seen everything. My one resident crashed the other night. His pulse oxy was 66. We had the crash cart to put a mask on him. My cousin is a doctor. My aunt is a RN. My grandparents were paramedics. I have never pass meds before but I am fascinated with the human body! I watched every grey anatomy and house.
I remember that my mom almost died from septic shock. She came into hospital feeling weak with a high white blood cell count. They thought it was just the flu but my mom was Back in emerge 10 hours later. It was my birthday and she went into icu. I was the only Kid in a long time let into icu. I was 3. At that point she had been in icu for 2 months. And my birthday was the day where the MIC ( medically induced coma) was lifted and she was no longer intubated. I will forever be grateful to the doctors and nurses who stayed by my moms side in those times where she almost didn’t make it. She was moved into icu because of a code blue shortly after she was consulted and told she needed to stay. This point in the video where the man had septic shock reminded me of it and made me so happy to know how lucky and blessed I am to still have a mother.
I love your purple sneakers! Purple is my favorite color, and last year when I had physical therapy after my stroke, the therapists demanded that I get sneakers instead of the shoes I normally wear. It took me a while to find sneakers that were purple enough!
As someone who suffered with a Double Collapsed lung (spontaneous bilateral phunothorax) back in 2012 its people like yourselves that are the real heroes out there and i couldn't be more thankful for the work you do if i tried! keep up the amazing work.
You’re videos inspire me so much! I’m only a junior in high school but i’m gonna be going to a nursing oriented prep uni so i can start my medical journey:)) so happy i found your channel!!
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and your humbleness and positivity never cease to amaze me. You’re a ray of sun!!!! Such an inspiration to future residents like me🥰
3rd year! I’ve gone through my last 3 years of undergrad with you. Thanks for the much needed break! So cool to see you go from a 1st year to you 3rd. Congrats!
Hello Dr. Siobhan, Happy weekend. I like your good caring for the patients in the hospital and at the ICU. Siobhan, Your service to the patients is really adorable. I'm dreaming to work in a hospital Siobhan
You inspire me so much! I still have a lot of years to pick what I’d like to be once I’m older, I’ve watched many videos of all types of doctors and none of their jobs passionate me other than yours!
I have a great big THANK YOU for you and your videos. I had a horrible experience last April that left me with a bad feeling toward the hospital I was in. I went in for an operation on Spinal Stenosis, coded when the rolled me over than 3 weeks of treatment by doctors that wouldn't talk to me or listen to me. Some of it went me complaining I was having trouble breathing because of pain in my ribs. They heard about the trouble and ignored the rib pain. It took me 5 days to get relief for my ribs and a month to get rid of all the oxygen equipment they sent to my house. Next time I'm coming to your hospital. :)
I have no interest in becoming a nurse or doctor but I have been bingewatching all her videos It’s such an interesting behind the scene look and Siobhan is such a positive and sweet person
I was watching this video and just thinking, "what an angel". Thank God that there are people like her who were willing to subject themselves to medical school and residency. Not to mention undergrad and fellowship. What an angel.
Do as much as YOU can. I never finished my nursing program but the two years that I did do helped me a lot. Some post secondary studies is always better than none.
As a now-newborn hospitalist doc who has practiced general Pediatrics in Texas for over 20 years, it's fascinating to observe the differences not only between pediatrics & adult medicine, but also subtle differences between how things are done in Canada vs. the US! I love your explanations of things for the public and your enthusiasm! Congratulations on getting into 3rd year already! P.S. I love freckles!
I just started working in a neuroscience ICU in May and absolutely love it! It can definitely be overwhelming at times but I feel like I form better relationships with the patients (if alert) and their families since the patients are usually there for multiple weeks. Love your videos!
I’m a second year nursing student and your channel is such a helpful perspective to see! Thank you so much for making these videos. Also I absolutely love your personality!
I LOVE your videos. It motivates me to be productive with my college work. I’m not studying anything medical lol but seeing how you handle a 26 hour shift is just really motivating!! It makes me want to get up and get going towards my goals😊
You seem like such a sweet resident, omg. I have been around many different residents and doctors that are so impolite. You are so sweet and friendly when you answer your pages.
I was in respiratory failure after surgery that went wrong...I was in a coma for six days on a vent for 9..thank you for all the hard work you do to save lives like mine..
Great video. I was a critical care nurse for many years. My last job was working in Open Heart ICU which I loved. Sometimes went 8 hours before realizing I had no chair at my bedside table. Intensive care is never dull. It's amazing how strong, complex and resilient the human body is. You will be a great doctor.
Thank you for all you do! I have had a bowel perforation that caused Septic Shock which meant I was admitted to hospital for 3 months. I know how important the medical team is
I love how your videos are ACTUALLY about your job and how things really are! Every other video is people putting on makeup and getting coffee, thank you for being different!!😀
You also have SUCH an incredible attitude! Im not in the medical field, Im in esthetics; but hoping to get into medical esthetics, but your positive energy and overall enjoyment of your work makes me want to aspire to get into a career that makes me THIS excited to go to work. Best of luck to you on your journey!
Hey Siobhan! I'm a wardsperson at my ICU hospital and as much as we don't know much on the medical side! It's inspired me to be a nurse! From seeing all what the doctors and nurses do to the most sickest patients!
I recently found your videos and I’m obsessed! I’m a dialysis patient in Ontario and it’s so cool to see the other side of things. Thanks for your hard work and sharing!

My brother spent 3 weeks in the ICU at the University of Alberta when he was 16, Asthma attack leading to 2 collapsed lungs and then on a heart and lung bypass.. apparently he was the first asthmatic to even come off that machine alive in 5 yearsr. they had cameras and students and everyone in when he came off it. Huge love and respect for doctors and nurses that saved his life.
You’re such an inspiration!! So
Professional and focused but yet so kind and caring! I just started watching your videos and I can watch them for hours!!
Please post more I love watching your videos! My fiancé was in the ICU for 2 weeks he was in a serious accident so it’s cool seeing these video! I remember learning about all the different things your talking about in this video.

Hi Siobhan
I really love you videos. They’re so interesting and it’s so great to see such a kind and compassionate doctor!
I’m from Scotland in the UK and here we are very lucky to have the NHS. We are a very fortunate nation to have it, and I appreciate and respect all the NHS staff who work hard to look after us.
Saying that, unfortunately, out of the dozens of doctors and nurses who have “looked after” my dad over the past 3 months, only a very small handful have been genuinely caring and kind to him.
He had bowel cancer and required life changing surgery to save his life. This surgery was to remove the bowel and give him a permanent stoma. The operation was complicated and the recovery is very slow. The operation was three months ago and he still has at least 15 months before he will be fully healed, if not longer. He has been through A LOT since the operation, such as;
He vomited up large amounts of blood which was due the a hole torn in his stomach.
He’s had 3 bouts of sepsis.
He’s had a blood clot in his arm.
He’s been diagnosed with PTSD after vomiting up the blood because he was convinced he would die.
He has infected abscesses inside the wound from the initial operation, the abscesses need a tube attached to them to drain out the poison, he has had this tube attached for a couple of months now. The drain causes him lots of intense pain, and it keeps moving so they keep needing to operate again to move it back to the right place.
The wound is basically a huge hole where his back passage was, the hole is the size of my fist so it’s extremely painful.
He’s been incredibly weak and couldn’t walk as he kept collapsing.
His bladder no longer works so he has a permanent catheter which at one point became blocked causing him intense pain yet NHS 24 refused to send out a doctor (even when they could hear him yelling and howling in pain).
He is waiting for a psychiatrist appointment because, unsurprisingly, he is now seriously depressed.
And now he is back in hospital with more serious pain we believe coming from his kidneys, yet the doctors and nurses who work in his ward are rude, incredibly inpatient and appear to have no compassion or empathy.
Dad is currently knocked out with the amount of pain killers he’s on to finally give him some relief. His nurse just came in with a plate of food and said “do you want this?”
Dad, unable to speak because he’s so doped up on pain killers, shook his head and managed a quiet whisper of “thank you”. The nurse rolled her eyes, scoffed, and stomped out of the room.
They have regularly been getting impatient with him when he’s been crying with the pain, literally shrugging their shoulders, telling him there’s nothing they can do then walking away and leaving him alone for hours.
The doctors then came into his room, looked in his eyes and took a pulse and said, I quote “I don’t know what’s wrong with him”. Then walked out of the room before I had a chance to ask any questions. I assumed he was going to get another doctor but no one came back.
Unfortunately, this has been the experience we have had with almost every medical professional for these three months. He’s been on different wards with multiple different doctors and nurses, but it seems this hospital is full of staff like this.
Of course there have been some doctors and nurses who you can tell genuinely care about their patients and want to help as much as they can, which we have all appreciated so so much.
I wonder if these people were to see THEIR father go through what my dad is going through, would they have the same awful attitude?
This is the fifth time dad has been admitted to hospital since the operation and EVERY time he’s been discharged far too early, and without any type of care plan in place, none of us received any instructions on his care such as how to keep his wound clean, painkillers, how change the dressing properly and empty the drains. Luckily, mum used to be a nurse way back in the day so she was able to figure out how to do it all and is now his full time carer, however, what would’ve happened if mum wasn’t here? Would dad just have been left to it on his own? If he had, I’m 100% certain he’d be dead right now.
We will be putting a formal complaint in. However dad asked us to wait until he’s better, because he’s worried that if we do it while he’s still unwell, that they will treat him even worse than he has already been treated.
I don’t know what to do for the best. I am genuinely worried that if I make a complaint, they will treat him even worse. At the same time, I can’t allow this to go on. I do not have the funds to move him to a private hospital. I’m so shocked that he is being treated this way. He is an old man who is seriously ill and I can’t understand how the people who are meant to be caring for him just don’t seem to have any compassion at all.
It hurts me to hear of your father's situation. My father had colon cancer with surgery that resulted in sepsis and being on life support. I relate to your feeling of helplessness. Much respect for you trying to improve his quality of life. Fill out surveys honestly or call administration or an ombudsman. Prayers for your dad and your family.
Siobhan, I sincerely love all of your videos! You are such a genuine human being, and I can only imagine how wonderful you are with your patients. I’m a non traditional applicant applying to medical school this year. I use your videos as my ‘reward’ after I’ve completed a secondary essay (which can be quite exhausting because I work 60 hours a week). My favorite thing you’ve done is the ‘debriefing’ after a shift. I love hearing about the actual cases! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your vlog.
Just finished a night shift in emergency department and watched this video in my car😂 so hungry and exhausted now. Always feeling more positive after watching your video!
These vlogs make internal medicine seem really exciting
I got to see both sides to this. I was trained in a clinical program as an RN. 5 years ago, I was crushed under a low-boy trailer in a freak accident. I immediately knew my chest was flailed, I heard the ribs snap. I also had open, compound fractures of my left hand. Because I wouldn't let anyone at the scene lift me up, I avoided puncturing my lung, much to my surprise. I eventually did have a rib fragment collapse the left lung, the night before surgery. I now have multiple plates on ribs 2-7 & repairs to two fingers as well. All my medical knowledge made the difference. I doubt I would have made it to the trauma ER if I'd punctured the lung at the scene. I'm called the "metal grandma" & other than a funny looking chest, I've recovered well. Enjoy watching your videos!
The way she’s like... “the patient can not get enough oxeygen” and is strolling by. Haha! I know it’s probably not big enough of an emergency to sprint but it still cracks me up
I've spent time in the ICU (about a month and a half but I was in a coma for 3 of those weeks) and everyone who worked there was incredible. I appreciated everything the doctors and nurses did for me and my family. Thank you for everything you do for your patients! We appreciate your hard work and dedication ♡
We need more doctors like you who can truly analyze what's gping on with the patient
Rip to those that dont make it out of the ICU. Your work is amazing and im working to end up in the medical field. ♥️
My sister never made it out of ICU. 50 mins before her death,she said nurses were nothing but snakes & vipers.
Pity this 3rd yr student wasn't around to uplift my sisters spirit.
Hospital water is honestly the best water. Crushed ice and cold filtered water. Perfect! I'm not a MP but my partner has CF so we spend a bunch of time there.
So happy to ride along on another call shift, thank you Sibohan! Prayers for the poor patient with a Pneumothorax.
You do a brilliant job from both a medical perspective and explanation of your duties.Pleasure listening to you.
While I do not doubt you or your ability to treat your patients, but I would still be nervous to have my doctor on her feet and on call for such a long period of time. In Ireland I think the hours are much more restricted, so doctors can’t work 26 hours at once. You’re a warrior for doing it though.
ruclips.net/video/kr9_ofPZzRk/видео.html
In the U.S. residents work these types of hours, and longer. 😔
I’m a med student in Ireland, 24 hour shifts are the longest junior doctors do
Doctors can sleep during those shifts when they have the time. Research has been done and patients are less likely to die when staff doesn't get changed out as often.
@@treeeester she's Canadian though. Us Americans are not this nice or friendly
I always watch these just before I go to bed, radiates positivity and hope and it encourages me to work towards my dreams of becoming a nurse.
I wanted to share my collapsed lung experience :)) so about 6 months ago I was admitted to a near by hospital and was placed in the ICU... my surgeon said that my collapsed lung was the worst he had ever seen!! Mainly I only had symptoms of just extreme chest pain and very short breath. I ended up getting a surgery to basically patch up the hole in my lung and I recovered fine and am doing well!!
You inspire me to become a doctor. I been a nursing aide for 12 years and I seen everything imaginable. I done finger sticks, treatments, suction tube, pack bed sores, insert cath. I seen everything. My one resident crashed the other night. His pulse oxy was 66. We had the crash cart to put a mask on him. My cousin is a doctor. My aunt is a RN. My grandparents were paramedics. I have never pass meds before but I am fascinated with the human body! I watched every grey anatomy and house.
I remember that my mom almost died from septic shock. She came into hospital feeling weak with a high white blood cell count. They thought it was just the flu but my mom was Back in emerge 10 hours later. It was my birthday and she went into icu. I was the only Kid in a long time let into icu. I was 3. At that point she had been in icu for 2 months. And my birthday was the day where the MIC ( medically induced coma) was lifted and she was no longer intubated. I will forever be grateful to the doctors and nurses who stayed by my moms side in those times where she almost didn’t make it. She was moved into icu because of a code blue shortly after she was consulted and told she needed to stay. This point in the video where the man had septic shock reminded me of it and made me so happy to know how lucky and blessed I am to still have a mother.
I watch every single video and I keep getting more interested thank you for what you do you guys don't get enough respect
I love your purple sneakers! Purple is my favorite color, and last year when I had physical therapy after my stroke, the therapists demanded that I get sneakers instead of the shoes I normally wear. It took me a while to find sneakers that were purple enough!
As someone who suffered with a Double Collapsed lung (spontaneous bilateral phunothorax) back in 2012 its people like yourselves that are the real heroes out there and i couldn't be more thankful for the work you do if i tried! keep up the amazing work.
Your voice relaxes me and makes me feel safe!
You’re Precious.Thank you for all your hard work and care.God Bless You
You’re videos inspire me so much! I’m only a junior in high school but i’m gonna be going to a nursing oriented prep uni so i can start my medical journey:)) so happy i found your channel!!
that's exciting Elsie - good luck!!
Elsie W same here u.

I'm 9, and still understand everything! Your making me want to be a doctor! Which is good, to save lives!!!!
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and your humbleness and positivity never cease to amaze me. You’re a ray of sun!!!! Such an inspiration to future residents like me🥰
3rd year! I’ve gone through my last 3 years of undergrad with you. Thanks for the much needed break! So cool to see you go from a 1st year to you 3rd. Congrats!
Hello Dr. Siobhan, Happy weekend. I like your good caring for the patients in the hospital and at the ICU. Siobhan, Your service to the patients is really adorable. I'm dreaming to work in a hospital Siobhan
You inspire me so much! I still have a lot of years to pick what I’d like to be once I’m older, I’ve watched many videos of all types of doctors and none of their jobs passionate me other than yours!
I hope everyone who was sick in this is better and healed well!! You did a great job helping!! Thank you we are so thankful for you beautiful!!
I have no plans on being a nurse or doctor when I’m older, but for some reason I can’t stop watching your videos! 💖☺️
I’m medical student and your videos encourage and motivate me a lot to keep studying and reach my dream
Do any patients Say omg you’re the RUclipsr?
I would want to, eg have a chat, but I'd be sick in there probably, so I wouldn't hug her, unless I'm visiting a family member.
@@dragonistana sick you say? .. 4 months ago.
I have a great big THANK YOU for you and your videos. I had a horrible experience last April that left me with a bad feeling toward the hospital I was in. I went in for an operation on Spinal Stenosis, coded when the rolled me over than 3 weeks of treatment by doctors that wouldn't talk to me or listen to me. Some of it went me complaining I was having trouble breathing because of pain in my ribs. They heard about the trouble and ignored the rib pain. It took me 5 days to get relief for my ribs and a month to get rid of all the oxygen equipment they sent to my house. Next time I'm coming to your hospital. :)
I'm not even a medical student but I love watching these haha.
You inspire me so much! It's easy to let stress ruin the day, but you push through with such a positive attitude.
I have no interest in becoming a nurse or doctor but I have been bingewatching all her videos
It’s such an interesting behind the scene look and Siobhan is such a positive and sweet person
I was watching this video and just thinking, "what an angel". Thank God that there are people like her who were willing to subject themselves to medical school and residency. Not to mention undergrad and fellowship. What an angel.
I want to be a doctor but I'll never be able to do it. No matter how hard I try. But well done to you. I'm so happy for you!!
Hey Pamella!I hope you don't give up on the dream of helping people in medicine... there are so many wonderful jobs in health care!
@@ViolinMD Thanks. Keep on going, you're such a good person!! You're honestly such an inspiration for me.
Do as much as YOU can. I never finished my nursing program but the two years that I did do helped me a lot. Some post secondary studies is always better than none.
@@BlueHeron654 Awh, tysm! I hope you do well in life and achieve all yor goals.
@@BlueHeron654 how come you didnt finish? I already finished nursing school but im struggling with passing the NCLEX :/
As a now-newborn hospitalist doc who has practiced general Pediatrics in Texas for over 20 years, it's fascinating to observe the differences not only between pediatrics & adult medicine, but also subtle differences between how things are done in Canada vs. the US! I love your explanations of things for the public and your enthusiasm! Congratulations on getting into 3rd year already! P.S. I love freckles!

I just started working in a neuroscience ICU in May and absolutely love it! It can definitely be overwhelming at times but I feel like I form better relationships with the patients (if alert) and their families since the patients are usually there for multiple weeks. Love your videos!
You got the most vibrant energy. It's pretty amazing considering you work in such a high stress environment. Inspiring!
I’m a second year nursing student and your channel is such a helpful perspective to see! Thank you so much for making these videos. Also I absolutely love your personality!
I LOVE your videos. It motivates me to be productive with my college work. I’m not studying anything medical lol but seeing how you handle a 26 hour shift is just really motivating!! It makes me want to get up and get going towards my goals😊
You seem like such a sweet resident, omg. I have been around many different residents and doctors that are so impolite. You are so sweet and friendly when you answer your pages.
IDK who would die first on a 26 hour shift, me or the patients that's insane
I was in respiratory failure after surgery that went wrong...I was in a coma for six days on a vent for 9..thank you for all the hard work you do to save lives like mine..
Working my way through pre-med classes. Always inspired by your videos, Dr. Siobahn!
Your smile is so vibrant and uplifting,if I was a patient of yours I would truly be uplifted by your attitude and charisma,rock on you!!!
Literally stopped my morning routine to watch this.
Hi David - always great to see you!
Great video. I was a critical care nurse for many years. My last job was working in Open Heart ICU which I loved. Sometimes went 8 hours before realizing I had no chair at my bedside table. Intensive care is never dull. It's amazing how strong, complex and resilient the human body is. You will be a great doctor.
Someday: "It's Siobhan! A 20 YEAR MEDICAL RESIDENT."
:)
After a quick search it looks like residencies in Canada last around 5 years and after that she's free to practice wherever she likes
Come be my doctor in USA
Thank you for all you do! I have had a bowel perforation that caused Septic Shock which meant I was admitted to hospital for 3 months. I know how important the medical team is
This reminds me of Greys Anatomy lol I loved your video!
I am obsessed with your videos girl!!
Much love from USA Texas❤️
Omg your voice and face make me happy. Thank you for taking care of us.
I love how your videos are ACTUALLY about your job and how things really are! Every other video is people putting on makeup and getting coffee, thank you for being different!!😀
You know when she’s a doctor when she said “my kidneys will thanks me” lol.
She seem like such a sweet person you could talk to and everything and its really good thats she is willing to help other people and i love that❤️❤️
Best part of my day when you post another video. Love the content, and how happy and motivated you are ❤️❤️
You also have SUCH an incredible attitude! Im not in the medical field, Im in esthetics; but hoping to get into medical esthetics, but your positive energy and overall enjoyment of your work makes me want to aspire to get into a career that makes me THIS excited to go to work. Best of luck to you on your journey!
I've been told that ICU is where you learn the most during residency. Do you find that to be accurate?
Hey Siobhan! I'm a wardsperson at my ICU hospital and as much as we don't know much on the medical side! It's inspired me to be a nurse! From seeing all what the doctors and nurses do to the most sickest patients!
My ol' stomping grounds! St. Joe's ER
I recently found your videos and I’m obsessed! I’m a dialysis patient in Ontario and it’s so cool to see the other side of things. Thanks for your hard work and sharing!
