Tasting hospital food and checking out the kitchen would also be super interesting. They are also part of the care team that patients (and most medical personell) never see.
I had a really bad experience last and this week when it comes to hospital food. While it tasted good - they served white porridge, pancakes and all sorts of other white flour food. The badest thing you could ever imagine in a hospital.
When my grandfather passed the nurse came in and held my grandma and cried with us and it was the most moving act of kindness. I will never forget her. It been 4 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I am actually glad you told this story, thank you. I am a nursing student and I get emotional when I see others cry or when something sad happens. In school we are taught we are supposed to be the stoic, non emotional rock for the family so I have been terrified to experience my first (patient) death. I am glad to hear how much of an impact this had on you and your family and I am glad that nurse was there for you guys!
@@beaniebabes11 I’m sorry they’re still teaching this. I’m a nursing professor and I teach students that, aside from the obvious holding it together in emergencies or urgent situations requiring focus, crying conveys a valuing of the loss. As a women’s/children’s service supervisor back in the day I had to complete paperwork on an 8 year old who had died from a brain tumor. I was holding my emotions in check until asking the parents for personal effects going with the body. I’m used to “dentures”, “pink nightie”, etc. so I lost it when the answer was “teddy bear”, “ball cap”, etc. The mother gave me a tissue and told me how sweet I was! I was mortified to have reversed the therapeutic relationship-as I had been taught. But looking back, how much WORSE for the family would it have been if I had been so “professional” that I hadn’t displayed any emotion? How out of sync would that have been with their reality? My tears let them know their child’s life had mattered. Don’t take that away from your patients! And good luck in school.
Let's get them to 1M subscribers!!!! Love that Mark is starring in your videos!!! My husband and I are both nurses, and it is nice to come home and have someone understand what you're going through. I'm married to a Mark as well 😊! AND I played the voilin in high school and am so sad that I gave it up. I definitely want to play again. Love your videos so much, keep them coming!
I'm an emt and was recently put in the hospital for gastric surgery and I got in trouble because I knew how to shut the bed alarm off....so I would just get up and go to the bathroom and then get back in bed before they knew. My nurse caught me on the 3rd time and chewed my butt I told her no harm I wrote down urine cc on the mirror she said that wasn't the point but was appreciative.
Quite sure I'm not alone in telling you both just how much Your Fans LOVE these types of intimate videos when we get to see the personal side of you two! Thank you for sharing some of your "Off The Clock" memories and honesty while answering these hot topic questions! The explanations were awesome and clearly show why BOTH of you are so good at taking care of your patients! As always I also LOVE reading the love and support from your followers too! I really appreciate my seat on The Violin MD Bus! Cheers From COWl-lumbus, Ohio MOO
What a refreshing video! My son just had minor surgery today, and I was grateful to meet medical staff as friendly as you guys. Thank you, Mark, for giving the Mom all the credit for delivering a baby!
THANK YOU!! I’ve been sick for my entire life & I’ve had times when doctors were around when the nurses were struggling to get an IV placed in me. Never ask for a doctor-they don’t know everything! I ask for a phlebotomist or a nurse anesthetist- they absolutely know what they are doing (since I’m such a hard stick, they are absolute saints in my opinion!)
When I was in the ER for appendicitis I hadn’t been eating or drinking for a couple of days and the nurses all had trouble getting an I’ve in this dr walked passed and the nurse asked if she could do it. She did it 1st go she said she just had a knack for doing it.
I work as a paramedic in the USA, and I get recognized by patients every so often even up to an hour away from my district. But I have one cool story that sticks out even though it wasn't me specifically they recognized but the service I worked for. I went to a yoga class straight from work one morning and had my job shirt (pullover) on which had my service's emblem on it. A woman in the class saw my shirt and got really excited, turns out her dad was resuscitated by two of my coworkers when he was in cardiac arrest and made a full recovery. I distinctly remembered that because I was working the same day and was really proud of my coworkers because they saved the man's life. She gave me a big hug and asked that I extend more thanks to my two coworkers who took care of her dad. This was in a town 45 minutes away from the county I work in.
@Violin MD How much can Mark tell from a patient's walk? Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and uhmm YES! Please make that video. I mean, y'know, there is so much to self diagnose 🤣 * clears throat * for fun, of course.
This was so fun! I would LOVE to see a video about understanding a lot about someone based on how they walk. That is so fascinating how you mention that diagnosing someone just on sight is a "thing" -- so interesting!!! Thank you for the lovely chat/video! :)
Love these type of videos and seeing Mark! Y’all are definitely my favorite Canadian couple! Hope y’all are having a good weekend and that the hospital keeps y’all busy enough. Thanks for all y’all do!
While doing this series with Mark, please could we have just a little of you two playing your instruments together? You both are so gifted with music talent as well as medicine.
As a patient, I love when doctors shut the IV noise off!! Also, don’t worry I’ve forgotten my doctor’s name a time or two (or 6) especially when they do rounds so sooooo early in the morning. The only time I enjoyed “hospital food” was at a physical therapy rehab place I was in for two weeks. Their food made up for their shortage of staff who actually cared
As regards placing an IV: here in the UK, it's mostly doctors who do peripheral cannulations. Some nurses have been trained, but most don't do them. It's not ideal in the middle of the night, when a patient needs a new IV cannula, the on-call doctor usually has to be called. The doctor on call is usually covering most of the medical and surgical wards, so tends to be scarily busy!
You truly are such a good person to your core. I’ve loved watching you throughout the many years, I can’t believe you’re almost at 1 mill! I can’t think of anyone more deserving.
Loved this! Would really like to see another one or two of these! Part of the fun is getting to know a little bit more about who you are outside of being doctors.
this was so much fun!!! the two of you have just the right amount of humour and honest-to-goodness homegrown loveliness (two kind and deeply thoughtful people) combined with your great relationship vibe = impossible to not grin along like a mad fool 🥰😂
The lightning violist joke was a new one to me and I lol'd. It sounds like your partner is a musician, too... Didn't know that! Classical musician here too who also works in medicine (but vet med) and I'm from IN (I know you spent time at IU!) so I enjoy watching videos through your particular lens. Cheers!
I'm a musician with a music degree. My only orchestral performance was playing mandolin for Repugi'd "Feste Roman's." My main instruments are sax and guitar. The music joke on sax players I've heard is: What do you call a sax player without a girlfriend/boyfriend? Homeless. I really enjoy y'all's interactions. I'm from Texas/the south.
Hospital SLP here! Great idea to try out the hospital food, and while you're at it, definitely try thickened liquids and other modified diets (puree, minced, etc.) Love your content!
id definitely like to see a video on what walking says about your health! i have to limp on and off for a bunch of different reasons so it would be interesting to see
This is so fun and cool! :) I would love to see a video about how much you can tell about someone's health by the way they walk. That is a great idea suggested by you both :). Have a wonderful weekend.
I would love to see a video about it as well I have often wondered why my GP and specialists always watch how I’m walking. I will add I have severe arthritis in both knees.
Theatre Tech here! Had an elderly woman fall, hit her head, decent amount of bleeding, slight confusion. EMS already called by staff while I treated. My boss hates blood and LITERALLY walked backwards to me with the 1st aid kit I put together. Manager did the 'is there a doctor in the house'...It was a classical music concert, so OF COURSE there was! lol. He started to check her out, called off the ambulance, gave her and a friend instructions they'd have gotten at the ER re:concussion symptoms. We easily got the bleeding stopped using 'not 1st aid training methods', and he complimented me on the quick use/availability of 'what was use/not what we teach' compression bandage while we were scrubbing down after (we had to kick the conductor out of his dressing room!) Turns out, it was a Neurosurgeon from Toronto General...Head Injury, and I got a neurosurgeon!
Definitely tell the nurse when you stop a pump or titrate oxygen. It happens all the time and yes, it is so annoying! Nurses want to know everything and we are running piggyback after piggyback and often they are timed. If one is stopped it backs up everything. Still love you though!😂
I’d love to see a video about how the way a person walks can show their health. I’ve had a limp my entire life and I get people (medical and not medical people) diagnosing me wrong just based on how I walk all the time
omg haha what a fun video! As a nurse - thank you for silencing that alarm, it drives patients (and family members) crazy! Water wise obviously you would know if they're on a restriction :3 so I am not even concerned haha. Crying wise totally relatable. I was about to cry at work once as an RN. I had a patient who was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure and had a tenkoff inserted into the abdomen. They were not eating much food, and I was looking after them over a few days in a row. Just seeing the child wanting to get better and not understanding why they had the catheter was so disheartening. The family was stressed and concerned and I tried so hard to encourage him to heal quickly, etc. As a student, learning about short-gut syndrome, and life expectancy was quite devastating. I cried after that day, because it was a lot to deal with when you're just there to pick up as much as you can.
As a nurse I appreciate when we all work well together. If you're having a conversation with a patient and the IV beeps with something simple, feel free to try once or twice to fix it. If it keeps beeping, or the patient says the IV hurts, or there are a complicated infusions, then please call a nurse. ..... Kinda common sense. Similarly with a cup of water. We all don't want to spend our time running around doing menial tasks, but we also all want to help people too. The rule I follow is that if the docs are generally busier than the nurses, then I try to ensure they don't do anything extra. But if the nurses are swamped with tasks and the docs are cruising nicely, then I hope that the docs don't mind doing a few extra things to help. .... again, seems common sense to me. Lastly, as a guy who's a nurse I always introduce myself with my name and profession when I walk into a room. Although there are some gender stereotypes, pretty much everyone with a head on their shoulders knows that genders don't matter in a profession and the person themselves is more important. As well, in fairness "nursing" is a fairly female term (e.g. nursing a baby). Virtually all reasonable people really seem fine with this all. Great video!
I really enjoyed your video! As a nurse, I don’t mind if you silence the iv pump, but please just let us know. We think we are going nuts when we hear a beeping pump & think we’re close to finding it, but then can’t find it bc it’s been silenced 🤪. The beeping noise already reverberates in the halls making it difficult to tell where it’s actually coming from, so putting the call light on to say where it is, is so helpful!
Other youtubers: making some suspense and answering that question in the end of the video for time watch Shioban : first question to answer We love you 😂😂❤❤
I have been an RN for 9 years and I would not be annoyed that you fixed my IV alarms at all. You are checking the IV site and troubleshooting the cause of the alarm. There is nothing wrong with that.
I've actually seen Siobhan before walking home after a shift from work a few years back! How is life now after school, must be so nice not having to study as much now.
Siobhan and mark, Thank you for taking the time to make these video while working and simple explaining what you do in the medical fields to all non med students. The simple vedio layout is simple to watch and their is little special effects to the vedio thats great for us.
Love your videos. I'm not a doctor because I didn't think I would be smart enough. However, I bought medical text books and Gray's Anatomy and read them for many years. As a result, I would periodically become convinced that I had some new ailment. My wife told me if I didn't stop it, she would sell my books on eBay! Yes, I stopped diagnosing myself....as far as she knows!
The hospital food at the IWK children’s hospital (in Nova Scotia) is amazing! I still remember the Belgian waffles… and a video about how the way we walk can tell things about our health sounds really cool!
Hahaha to the "medical school syndrome" during nursing school I did this too! I think we all do!! You two are great! I hope you have a wonderful life together! ❤
Needle stick injuries are so scary! My mom was a surgical assistant in the 90s, and she got a stick injury during the AIDS epidemic. From a HIV+ patient. She never developed symptoms thankfully and is negative! It’s instances like hers it’s important to remember you usually need quite a high viral load of exposure to be infected.
This was REALLY cool. I'm also interested in trying hospital food. But, something on a "different note". You should also try the different "diets" you put patients on. Such as the "clear liquid", "full liquid", Dysphasia diet, Gatroparesis diet. Diabetic diet, Low sodium, low residue. All of them together would be super helpful for us patients how have to follow some of these diets!!
The band equivalent of viola jokes is the oboe/piccolo jokes. One that I've heard repeatedly is "How do you make two oboe/piccolo players play in tune? You shoot one of them." It sort of pokes fun at the fact that oboes and piccolos are ridiculously difficult to play in tune. Piccolos aren't really designed to play in tune and can change pitch if you even slightly move your mouth, so being consistent is difficult, which is okay if you're a soloist because a piccolo's part is usually too fast-moving and too far removed from the rest of the group for it to make a difference, but once you have multiple players, the discrepancy in pitch becomes more obvious. Oboes have the opposite problem. While piccolo players can't play in tune because their instrument provides too much opportunity for pitch variation, oboe players have trouble playing in tune because their instrument provides too little. There's nothing you can really adjust on the oboe to tune it appropriately, so for the most part, you're stuck where your instrument is. That's also why bands and orchestras tune to the oboe when one is available, because the oboe can't realistically tune to anything else.
That was fun. You two should do that again. I actually enjoyed the hospital food when I was in for a month after cardiac arrest. Also, they didn't always have something I wanted, so I had to get inventive with what I ordered so that I make something I preferred. For example, if I wanted a fish sandwich and all they had was a fillet on a dish, I'd order a bun on the side and then put it together in my room. But, I was on certain restrictions, so some mixes and matches don't work as well. I couldn't swallow well for the first week because of injury caused by intubation, so I mostly ate liquid foods like juices and chocolate nutrient shakes despite them wanting me to eat more solid food. But when I did start eating more, the cardiac dietary restrictions meant I couldn't have regular bacon, and could only get turkey bacon. Turkey bacon does not go well with chocolate Ensure. I thought it tasted bad going down... You can guess the rest of that sentence.
Yes, please. I’d love to hear what you have to say about what you can know from the way a person walks. Even as a non-medical person, I’ve seen some obvious Parkinson’s cases walk by. But I’d love to know more about the whole walking thing. PS - I have seen elderly men shuffling down a sidewalk and then grab a light pole to swing themselves around in order to change direction. I was impressed with the coping strategy.
I taught SCUBA diving for a number of years and also trained new instructors. What happens to the body, especially above/deeper than 5 atmospheres (130 feet) is probably not in your training. Oxygen becomes toxic at greater depths and Nitrogen becomes narcotic but often presents as paranoia not "rapture". There are common myths about barotrauma that even doctors falsely believe but are essential to know. There are other things as well and they are all vital for SCUBA divers to know, my duty to make provably certain that they do know. Which brings me to lawyers who claim a student can successfully sue a dive professional. Perhaps technically but that whole proof you know thing is very thorough and nobody has ever, ever, ever won a law suit against a diving professional. All resorts, professionals etc. have the same insurance company and the same law firm - never ever (at least as of 2005). When another professional interrupts that flow of assuring key knowledge, I ask them to hand out their business cards to everyone in the room, then (for doctors) ask about what atmospheric pressures were discussed in their training.
the 4:11 mark: as a bedside RN, I once had gotten recognized right in front of my apartment building while I was walking my dog by a patient I once had taken care of at the hospital. Thankfully it was a very positive encounter where her words to me were "you might not recognize me but I'm going to give you a hug" for the efforts I had put in to help her with her pain while she was inpatient. But then also another time I had also run into my boss while walking my dog. It showed I lived a little too close to work and now moved a little bit further to be able to have some separation between work and my days off.
I was one recognized by the postpartum nurse who took care of me. I was walking through Target with my baby in the shopping cart and she stopped to see how we were doing and coo over the baby.
OMG! Please please make a video about diagnosing people in your head in public! Talk about what you look at to make the diagnosis that would be so interesting!!
Tasting hospital food and checking out the kitchen would also be super interesting. They are also part of the care team that patients (and most medical personell) never see.
So true - great point!
@@ViolinMD 🙏📟🙏
I had a really bad experience last and this week when it comes to hospital food. While it tasted good - they served white porridge, pancakes and all sorts of other white flour food. The badest thing you could ever imagine in a hospital.
Especially for those with food allergies/sensitivity or other dietary restrictions
@@ViolinMD hello can you make a video when you at work i love you
The series with Mark is delightful!
I agree. So much respect for doctors especially the ones here. It's nice to see 2 people that makes such a beautiful couple.
@Adam Efimoff yeah
I agree
Agreed
The woman is great too!
When my grandfather passed the nurse came in and held my grandma and cried with us and it was the most moving act of kindness. I will never forget her. It been 4 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I am actually glad you told this story, thank you. I am a nursing student and I get emotional when I see others cry or when something sad happens. In school we are taught we are supposed to be the stoic, non emotional rock for the family so I have been terrified to experience my first (patient) death. I am glad to hear how much of an impact this had on you and your family and I am glad that nurse was there for you guys!

The way they look at each other when one of them is telling their experience or story! ❤️🔥🧿
This is what EMTs, nurses, and paramedics are for. 6:44 Thanks for always speaking highly of everyone involved.

😂😂 I should *not* be laughing. That was awesome.
I would do the same thing if I was in that situation as a EMT myself 🤣
Well, "Doctors are the worst patients" applies here as well, then ;)
@@SpacyNGEMT isn’t a doctor lol. I do feel like most people make bad patients cuz nobody likes to be woken up at 5 am for blood test
I just know how and used to do this

Yes, so much yes to the video about how much you can tell about someone's health by looking at them!
I think you guys should definitely make a video on how different people walk and how the way people way can be a sign of illness

But if the nurses are swamped with tasks and the docs are cruising nicely, then I hope that the docs don't mind doing a few extra things to help. .... again, seems common sense to me.
Lastly, as a guy who's a nurse I always introduce myself with my name and profession when I walk into a room. Although there are some gender stereotypes, pretty much everyone with a head on their shoulders knows that genders don't matter in a profession and the person themselves is more important. As well, in fairness "nursing" is a fairly female term (e.g. nursing a baby). Virtually all reasonable people really seem fine with this all.
Great video!
I love seeing you both. You're both wonderful people and I love watching your content!
Love it!!! I love yalls new videos together so awesome.
I really enjoyed your video! As a nurse, I don’t mind if you silence the iv pump, but please just let us know. We think we are going nuts when we hear a beeping pump & think we’re close to finding it, but then can’t find it bc it’s been silenced 🤪. The beeping noise already reverberates in the halls making it difficult to tell where it’s actually coming from, so putting the call light on to say where it is, is so helpful!
Thank you for inspiring people to peruse medicine! Love your videos! Keep it up!
Other youtubers: making some suspense and answering that question in the end of the video for time watch
Shioban : first question to answer
We love you 😂😂❤❤
7:18 this is why I really respect paramedics in the field they have nothing to go off of but training and pure instinct
I have been an RN for 9 years and I would not be annoyed that you fixed my IV alarms at all. You are checking the IV site and troubleshooting the cause of the alarm. There is nothing wrong with that.
I've actually seen Siobhan before walking home after a shift from work a few years back!
How is life now after school, must be so nice not having to study as much now.
The last topic there needs a video!
11:19 Yes please, I would love a video with you two about walking and diagnosing someone.
You guys are great. Looking forward to the next.
Great to watch another video from you!
The other student face planting into the patients belly had me laughing too hard. The patients instant confusion, oh my.
Siobhan and mark, Thank you for taking the time to make these video while working and simple explaining what you do in the medical fields to all non med students. The simple vedio layout is simple to watch and their is little special effects to the vedio thats great for us.
Love your videos. I'm not a doctor because I didn't think I would be smart enough. However, I bought medical text books and Gray's Anatomy and read them for many years. As a result, I would periodically become convinced that I had some new ailment. My wife told me if I didn't stop it, she would sell my books on eBay! Yes, I stopped diagnosing myself....as far as she knows!
Please definitely do this again! You and Mark are so fun together!! !😍😍😍 Absolutely love this!!
This was so much fun, thank you for doing this and please do more :D
You are so fun together! Loved this one.
The hospital food at the IWK children’s hospital (in Nova Scotia) is amazing! I still remember the Belgian waffles… and a video about how the way we walk can tell things about our health sounds really cool!
This was a fabulous video! You both are very down to earth and so informative😊
You two are so much fun!! Thank you for doing this!! I love your channel❤❤❤
I love you & Dr. Mark together. This was a fun video.
I wish you two would transfer to Tillsonburg, we need doctors like you. I love your videos and have learned so much .
Hahaha to the "medical school syndrome" during nursing school I did this too! I think we all do!! You two are great! I hope you have a wonderful life together! ❤
Thanks for answering my question! This was a super fun video to watch!
Needle stick injuries are so scary! My mom was a surgical assistant in the 90s, and she got a stick injury during the AIDS epidemic. From a HIV+ patient. She never developed symptoms thankfully and is negative! It’s instances like hers it’s important to remember you usually need quite a high viral load of exposure to be infected.
Loved this video! More, please! Also a video about what you can tell about people’s walking!
You two make me smile
This was REALLY cool. I'm also interested in trying hospital food. But, something on a "different note". You should also try the different "diets" you put patients on. Such as the "clear liquid", "full liquid", Dysphasia diet, Gatroparesis diet. Diabetic diet, Low sodium, low residue. All of them together would be super helpful for us patients how have to follow some of these diets!!
Love this! You two were great!! Keep doing videos of the two of you! Mark is funny, and has become more open.....😊
Loved the video!! Maybe you should do a future one on tasting hospital food or guessing the items blindfolded 🤣
Thanks I really enjoyed this🎉you guys seem very in tune & happy together.
The band equivalent of viola jokes is the oboe/piccolo jokes. One that I've heard repeatedly is "How do you make two oboe/piccolo players play in tune? You shoot one of them." It sort of pokes fun at the fact that oboes and piccolos are ridiculously difficult to play in tune. Piccolos aren't really designed to play in tune and can change pitch if you even slightly move your mouth, so being consistent is difficult, which is okay if you're a soloist because a piccolo's part is usually too fast-moving and too far removed from the rest of the group for it to make a difference, but once you have multiple players, the discrepancy in pitch becomes more obvious. Oboes have the opposite problem. While piccolo players can't play in tune because their instrument provides too much opportunity for pitch variation, oboe players have trouble playing in tune because their instrument provides too little. There's nothing you can really adjust on the oboe to tune it appropriately, so for the most part, you're stuck where your instrument is. That's also why bands and orchestras tune to the oboe when one is available, because the oboe can't realistically tune to anything else.
Y'all are adorable! I love you are doing more videos together.
Love this format!!! More please!
That was fun. You two should do that again.
I actually enjoyed the hospital food when I was in for a month after cardiac arrest. Also, they didn't always have something I wanted, so I had to get inventive with what I ordered so that I make something I preferred. For example, if I wanted a fish sandwich and all they had was a fillet on a dish, I'd order a bun on the side and then put it together in my room.
But, I was on certain restrictions, so some mixes and matches don't work as well. I couldn't swallow well for the first week because of injury caused by intubation, so I mostly ate liquid foods like juices and chocolate nutrient shakes despite them wanting me to eat more solid food. But when I did start eating more, the cardiac dietary restrictions meant I couldn't have regular bacon, and could only get turkey bacon. Turkey bacon does not go well with chocolate Ensure. I thought it tasted bad going down... You can guess the rest of that sentence.
Thanks for answering my question. ❤😊 this was fun
Yes, please. I’d love to hear what you have to say about what you can know from the way a person walks. Even as a non-medical person, I’ve seen some obvious Parkinson’s cases walk by. But I’d love to know more about the whole walking thing. PS - I have seen elderly men shuffling down a sidewalk and then grab a light pole to swing themselves around in order to change direction. I was impressed with the coping strategy.
Literally loved this video 🥰 keep up the good work XD
COOL video, want to see more 🎉
Thanks!! Would love to do another!
I taught SCUBA diving for a number of years and also trained new instructors. What happens to the body, especially above/deeper than 5 atmospheres (130 feet) is probably not in your training. Oxygen becomes toxic at greater depths and Nitrogen becomes narcotic but often presents as paranoia not "rapture". There are common myths about barotrauma that even doctors falsely believe but are essential to know. There are other things as well and they are all vital for SCUBA divers to know, my duty to make provably certain that they do know. Which brings me to lawyers who claim a student can successfully sue a dive professional. Perhaps technically but that whole proof you know thing is very thorough and nobody has ever, ever, ever won a law suit against a diving professional. All resorts, professionals etc. have the same insurance company and the same law firm - never ever (at least as of 2005). When another professional interrupts that flow of assuring key knowledge, I ask them to hand out their business cards to everyone in the room, then (for doctors) ask about what atmospheric pressures were discussed in their training.
I especially enjoyed this one. Thank you for the videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mrs Siobhan Weatherall 🎻 which is your next honey moon destination
Oh I’d love to see the walking video!
the 4:11 mark: as a bedside RN, I once had gotten recognized right in front of my apartment building while I was walking my dog by a patient I once had taken care of at the hospital. Thankfully it was a very positive encounter where her words to me were "you might not recognize me but I'm going to give you a hug" for the efforts I had put in to help her with her pain while she was inpatient. But then also another time I had also run into my boss while walking my dog. It showed I lived a little too close to work and now moved a little bit further to be able to have some separation between work and my days off.
I was one recognized by the postpartum nurse who took care of me. I was walking through Target with my baby in the shopping cart and she stopped to see how we were doing and coo over the baby.
I loved this! Definitely do more of these again.
Can we have a video on your love story (how you met, the proposal) and maintaining a relationship in med school/residency
Violin md, you made today's daily mail. The one about tongue health congratulations!
I love this video haha. I’ll definitely be interested in learning how a person walks have any indications on their health!
This was so much fun, absolutely loved it!❤
Siobhan is so mature in front of mark
OMG! Please please make a video about diagnosing people in your head in public! Talk about what you look at to make the diagnosis that would be so interesting!!
