I think every nurse and doctor should team up like this every once in a while. A lot of the time people get so caught up in their own point of view that they forget that other people might have different responsibilities than them. Pairing up like this is such a great way to build understanding and perspective. Really hope more doctors and nurses do this, seems like it would really benefit the work environment (and hopefully patient care)
Yes that's what i was thinking too! Thanks David, glad you like the idea! To be honest... it was such a fun day, and it was great to see some patients together!
@@padijeff5675Great comment! That's because the nurses aren't doing much! It's the nursing assistants who do all the hard work, I don't know exactly what the nurses do except swan around with stethoscopes around their necks pretending to be doctors 🤣
As a retired RN w/ 40+ years, I totally 💯 LOVE that you appreciate nurses and integrate them in your decision making. MD’s and nurses are trained so very differently, it’s so good to see you interact w/ them! Thank you so much!🙏❤️
I’m not in any way going to be a doctor or training to be a doctor Nor do I have anything to do with doctors. I just love watching these videos because of how interesting they are xx
Same! I literally don't have any interest in working in the medical field being a doctor etc. But I find her videos so intresting and addicting to watch! Its like coffee, YOU NEED IT! haha
Honestly same, medicine is just my side hobby , I’m an artistic person and I’m an architecture student 😄 but I just find these videos that Siobhan posts very interesting and entertaining 😊
As a RN, I appreciate what you do! Not every MD treats nurses with respect or as team members which is sad because we have the same goal-providing the best pt care possible!
I'm a nurse practitioner and I have been on both sides, providing care at the bedside as an RN and now providing coverage for the floor on nights and weekends as a hospitalist. There's so much value knowing what it's like to walk in the others shoes
I JUST came across your channel and absolutely love it. I have a chronic illness so seeing what actually goes on behind the scenes gives me such an appreciation and respect for what docs and their teams do. Your attitude and demeanor is so wonderful, you’re a pleasure to watch! Keep up your hard work! ❤️
I'm currently an occupational therapy student in the US, and it was so cool to see all the allied health professions come together to discuss! Also, don't know why, but I found myself smiling halfway through the video. You emit such a positive energy, and I'm sure your patients and their caretakers receive a lot of encouragement from the way you engage and interact with them! Thank you for your videos!!
It's great to see that your hospital seems to take a more holistic approach and has all therapies, social work, community support, spiritual care, etc! So important and often overlooked.
Okay.... wow! I can really see how hard residents work and how stressful that is. I admire you for being able to keep up with all of this and create quality videos
This is such a good idea, letting healthcare professionals follow each other to get a sense of each other’s day/workload/what they do in general! That way we can be more considerate with each other e.g. when drs get annoyed if they get interrupted on a note when the pharmacist calls for an intervention, I can be like oh yeah it’s normal to be annoyed. So much of healthcare can be improved by learning about each other, so I’m so grateful that you let others see behind the curtain and what a day as a dr looks like ❤️ wishing you the best, just a pharmacist in training x
How do your bosses/the people you work with feel about you vlogging while working? Has anyone had a issue believing that it is a waste of time that could of been used doing notes/patient care? I keep wondering this but love your videos!
I suspect some parts of it are by recreation after hours. But there is definitely a certain amount of justification that can be made for the benefits towards community education by allowing it.
I have shadowed doctors a number of times. It profoundly changed how I relate to them. It helped to understand and move away from from that generalized term “busy” and appreciate their steps in the day. I believe it promotes teamwork as you showed in the video. Awesome teaching and learning from you! 💡
IM NOT SURE WHO CAN SHADOW WHO NEXT BUT THESE VIDEOS ARE AMAZING! I’m a medical interpreter and these videos make me understand soooo much more about doctors and nurses and why they do the things they do! Made me appreciate them more!!! Thank you 😊
Your videos randomly popped up on my recommended and I absolutely LOVE your channel, your videos, and your essence! Absolutely positive and such neat videos that are so intriguing and full of information. Love videos that help others learn.❤️❤️❤️
i don’t usually comment but i truly see you’re an amazing, independent and inspiring doctor. you’ve made me want to put my head down and work towards my dream job as a nurse:) i’m only 18, in my last year of secondary school, so starting september i’ll hopefully be in university working towards that dream all thanks to these videos constantly motivating me! love love love these day in the life of a doctor!
I love this channel! I think it is awesome that you have shadowed a lot of different occupations throughout the hospital! Everyone's job is difficult in their own way and it is important to remember that! If we did not have every piece of the puzzle, hospitals would not run!
This is such an amazing interaction. As a nurse, I feel like relationship between medical and nursing teams is never encouraged and it's not really something very important. It's really a shame, for most part, obviously there are exceptions but this makes me feel so happy because this is what it should always be like. Working as a team! Amazing video!
I totally agree. I'm a medical coder and I frequently have to ask doctors questions and follow up on patient visits for any issues we run across. A mutual respect is extremely important. Some doctors are rude or don't want to deal with us coders, and some are super nice and helpful. People are much more motivated to do their job well when everyone treats each other better.
We need more Drs like you in the U.S. especially in Florida..... I have multiple hematologic conditions SLE, APS, GPA/Wegeners, and Crohn's and a genetic condition Ehlers Danlos syndrome type 3.. rare to have them altogether ive been told
I love how one second I’m watching a medical drama then this pops up. My Saturday is going well! Edit: wow I didn’t realise how many people are in the team and how you all work together. It’s amazing
It was really cool to see the allied health professionals get together to do discuss patient care. I’m in my undergrad year studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. It’s so nice to get a small glimpse into the hospital setting as a OT since there’s not a lot of videos on UA-cam about it.
This was such a great video! It was really cool hearing about how you two worked together to help that patient with shortness of breath. Such a good idea to have nurses/doctors do this so you can both have more understanding of what the others do in a day. I was a nurse for a few years, but everyone was always soooo crabby with each other because they weren't working fast enough or exactly in "the right way" that I ended up leaving the profession for something far less stressful.
I love the team work and collaborative approach to medicine. I hope that hospitals adopt this style not just for teaching but afterwards. The teaching should always continue!
Loved! Siobhan you are amazing to keep calm while trying to write a note and getting interrupted so many times! Nurse Ashley was so kind to get you water and amazing job for her in kicking up her nurse skills to help that patient with you!!
Please always stay this positive, even though it might be rough over the years! ♥️I have been quite a few times to the hospital, and the kindest doctors are always the most memorable ones that help ease the pain you are in. I also love how you are building bridges between nurses and doctors - when I did an internship as a nurse in a hospital for paralyzed people, it happened so often that doctors or residents didn't even greet us when we walked past!
As an EMT I certainly appreciate the work you do in caring for an person requiring care. Your action reminds me of the film called The Doctor. Each nurse is a dynamic person caring for others.
its great when they give each other the opportunity to shadow each other, this way they understand what each of them do how hard each other work, with that comes great respect, being a nurse is not an easy job, and neither is being a Doctor, both jobs require a lot of sacrifice
Ive enjoyed these posts. My wife and I have a daughter and son inlaw who both are 2nd year residents. She in family, and he is internal. They are in the same large city but in different programs. You have added some great background that i can add to the brief phone calls we get at all hours as she is heading to or from work. Her life has been so busy. I like that you have shown some light hearted chance to enjoy everything while dealing with it all.. gives me hope she can also. Thanks for these posts.
I think what happens, as with any job, people get jaded and over time may lose compassion or empathy as the years pass and excitement may fade.. I sure hope she never loses her awesome bedside manner, I’d be so happy to have her as my doctor!
Thanks for your videos! I’m my sphere of friends/colleagues we tend to talk about the trials and tribulations of junior doctor life in a jaded cynical way (of course still wonderful and pleasant to our patients!)... it’s genuinely refreshing to watch you portray the difficulties, while being pleasant and happy. Makes me rethink how I’m passing on the cynicism to my fresh faced students, by seeing you react to the difficulties in a different way. - PGY 2 from Australia
Hi Siobhan from Ireland, this was a great video showing how hard doctors and nurses work, you both made a great team and were so natural u, friendly and open plus like the nurse knew what needed to be done for the patient, in the past was in hospital 5 months, so seen it all, and learned a lot through the whole experience, from being in ICU and everywhere in between, its an education in itself.
I love how excited u got when she asked what a volume assessment is 🤭🤭 only my 2nd video in and I already adore u!! And ur hubby! I wish yall were my doctors lol u for ur service!! 💗💗
This doctor seems soooo nice! I hope she takes the nurse’s advice and never loses her bedside manner AND her interactions with her colleagues! The way she is so open to what the nurses and other medical team members have to say is amazing. A lot of doctors don’t want to hear what us nurses have to say, or they treat us rudely or are short with us. So I really appreciate this in a doctor!!
The doctor and nurse are such nice, positive, and pleasant people, and work great as a team with the goal of helping patients, we need more doctors and nurses like this in healthcare
Hello Dr. Siobhan, It is a nice meeting of you with doctors and nurses about hospital situation and how to take care of patients in the hospital. I like your nurse shadowing for 12 hours. My huge respect is for you Siobhan
It's great to see the teamwork between the doctors and nurses! Nurses are the back bones of hospitals, ashlee is very committed and i can see she enjoys her job even through the stressful times. I'm going in for surgery next month but know in very good hands. Your videos are very informative and gives me an idea what goes on behind closed doors between staff which we the patients don't see. You're a fantastic asset to them all Siobhan, keep up the great work! 🤗💉💊🏥👩🏻⚕️
This was a silly waste of time! Doctors and nurses have completely different jobs - and nurses should stop trying to be doctors and get on with the work they are really needed for!
Haiiii dear I'm a nurse by profession and I'm from India. Recently I watched your UA-cam channel and I like you soooooo sooo much... Medical professions means team work... I'm proud to be a nurse........
As a nurse I would love to do this. Interruptions in health care are CONSTANT. They don't/can't really teach us this in nursing! What type of nursing does Ashley do?
She is the most adorable doctor ever. You can tell her smile is genuine and I am sure it helps her patients knowing she really cares. Awsome video. Amazing channel.
Gosh u must be in a awesome program that allows u to follow like every dept, doctors, nurses and vice vice versa. That is so cool! You are 1 awesone lady!! Love your videos!!
I've just recently found your channel and it's got me so excited to work in the field! I love what you're doing and you have such a bubbly charismatic personality. Keep doing what you're doing !
It's so exciting how medicine has evolved in the past 30 years I have been a nurse. Starting in med/surg and working in urgent care and emergency medicine, it changes so fast, so many new medications and technology. You have a great personality which seems to be well suited to your chosen field. I look forward to more videos.
I love these videos they’re really informative and really great when you’re a person who has medical issues and you have to end up in the hospital and I would love to see a nurses aide following a doctor around and or have a nurses aide showing a doctor around what they do
Every doctor in training should watch how you go about your work and learn how to be professional, hardworking and dedicated yet kind, respectful and enthusiastic all at the same time. Keep up the great work!
I’ve heard and experienced doctors’ attitude over years of work. This is due to work overload and numerous consults making some doctors testy and impatient. Never forget to have good bedside manners of compassion and empathy.
Lol the montage at the computer 😂 you’re so patient, working with you must be a pleasure. I work in the medical field and I appreciate patience SO MUCH!!
This was so interesting, thanka a ton! I kinda wish doctors and nurses could also shadow patients with chronic illnesses, to get an idea how daily life is like. I feel like both sides could profit, especially if there were an illness-suit, to put on like that suit you can put on where you experience how it feels to be an old person. I guess it's the walking a mile in someone else's shoes thing that really helps so much widen one's perspective.
When Ashley said don't loose the bed side manor ... Most pt do not appreciate Doc's it seems endless time when they dont attend you because they are so busy!!!! maybe it puts their bed side manor off??? The medical professions are Angels on earth we couldn't be without them.... Total respect
I'm a nurse and I loved this video! I love how open-minded are kind both of them are. So refreshing to see. It was great when the doctor enjoyed working as a team with the nurse who had shortness of breath! I wish all nurses got to shadow doctors and all doctors got to shadow nurses. I know as a nightshift med/surg nurse I would love to shadow one of the nightshift hospitalists for a day. We only have 2 hospitalists for the whole hospital at night and it'd be so interesting to see what they're doing all night long!
I think a lot of new doctors have a decent bedside manner because they have a bit more time. (I'm thinking family doctors). My own was amazing at the beginning but as the years have gone on, and her practice has grown, she spends less time with you, less time hearing you, and you just don't feel 100% on board with them. This has happened with other doctors I've seen over the years as well. OR... if they can't figure out what is wrong or if you suffer a mental health issue, the doctors seem to change their attitudes towards you as a patient. I have anxiety and now every time something comes up and I see a doctor, they chalk it up to "mental health issue" and don't give a time of day. It's horrible and I hope you never become o e of those kinds of doctors. Just because someone has mental illness doesn't mean they cannot get physically ill as well. Great video 💖 ***i also believe that the lack of family physicians here in Ontario plays a huge part in the bedside manner. More patients, less time, more work, less time..... pattern.....**** I'd love to hear your thoughts on this in a future video @violinmd
I think complacency plays a role in this. The job becomes no longer an exciting novelty and they become used to the daily grind and it seems mundane to them. They forget that from the patient's experience, it's not part of their mundane daily grind, they need full and undivided attention and thoughtfulness but the doctor has a million other "tasks" on their mind and the patient becomes a task instead of properly shifting their attention to the whole individual they're seeing at that moment. They forget some social and emotional skills and jump straight to what they think the point is. Ice caught myself developing some complacency like that on health related social media posts so that's what I think is happening. Now that I've identified it, hopefully I'll be able to prevent falling into that habit if/when I become a health professional. With a professional qualification, I hope to be able to educate other health workers on how to identify and prevent it in themselves.
I agree with this and I am in Ontario as well. I am thankful that I switched to a family doctor who told me right off that my history of anxiety has no bearing on how she will treat my physical ailments. It was a huge relief! I had an internist ask my history and tell me my neurological symptoms were due to mental health, and I needed a psychiatrist. He also didn't take any notes during our 2 min appt. Finally, a wonderful movement specialist out of Hamilton diagnosed my hemifacial spasm and affected cranial nerves. It is hard for doctors here so I understand but it is important in any profession that we do not become complacent. I also feel.there is a big discrepency between the quality of care you can receive in say Toronto or Hamilton opposed to smaller cities outside the GTA (like Kitchener where I live). Kitchener is great if you need your life saved, heart issues or bleeding out. If you need more sophisticated diagnostics and docs who know more about uncommon medical issues then you need to go to the GTA.
If it isn't a thing already, it really ought to be, for both professions (doctors and nurses), that they do a day (or even a week) shadowing on the other side to get a real in-depth glimpse into what the day-to-day life of the doctor/nurse is like. Is this encouraged in hospitals or in med schools and nursing schools? Seriously, I can see no downside in the long term. Yes, both have a lot to learn to simply become a nurse or doctor, so this would add another bit of education, but the benefits to everyone (doctors, nurses and patients) would be enormous!
I LOVED this!!! Such a great idea! It'd be awesome if hospitals made this part of the training. And great job Ashley! You can tell just frm the video that you're one amazing n caring nurse! Thank you both for bringing such kindness and empathy to the medical field !! 💜💜
Great idea to encourage team work among staff! Many work environments can be encouraged through a shadowing like this. I'm a teacher and I believe a day in the life shadow could help us in our school.
Love these videos! Really is giving me a perspective of what the work life is in the hospital and how things work. I’ve always considered being a nurse and this really helped my decision!!!
Theses videos are so informative as a patient I now know why it takes so long for doctors to get to us. U guys have so much to do. Thank you for all that u do.
Yes I experience just about the same couple of things at hospital I work at as housekeeping: - non stop line of requests from nurses, techs (for cleaning or portering (also them if they aren't there at the time)) - not stopping for water. I do that same thing, too caught up in the work to take a breather.
Amazing video! It is so neat to see all the different people that come together for a patient. It would be awesome if you could do a video explaining the roles of each person in your team, like the differences between a senior medical resident and a first-year resident, or between them and an attending physician. Again, this was so fun to watch! 😊
@@MsStina84 Thanks so much! I've actually already seen that one. I understand what they are in terms of hierarchy, but I meant their actual assignments. These videos show so much, it doesn't seem to be much left to do!
Thank you for sharing ALL of your videos. The medical field is a stressful place to work from front desk to Doctors. Everyone plays a crucial role in patient care. Once again, thank you.
I think every nurse and doctor should team up like this every once in a while. A lot of the time people get so caught up in their own point of view that they forget that other people might have different responsibilities than them. Pairing up like this is such a great way to build understanding and perspective. Really hope more doctors and nurses do this, seems like it would really benefit the work environment (and hopefully patient care)
Totally agree, and with other staff think too! Often the value of allied health such as OT for example get forgotten.
I agree. I feel like there is gap between laboratory technologists and the rest of the hospital staff.
They usually have PA, which are doctors too. They pair up with other doctors 😂🤦♂️
Samuel Shin dying NOT dieing. Yep, you’re a troll!!
I agree. This would benefit the patient so much .
this is SUCH a neat idea for a followup - and talk about a great way to build bridges between residents and nurses! 😊
Yes that's what i was thinking too! Thanks David, glad you like the idea! To be honest... it was such a fun day, and it was great to see some patients together!
When you’re in Emergency waiting, doctors and nurses look like they’re sitting around not doing much?😟
@@padijeff5675Great comment! That's because the nurses aren't doing much! It's the nursing assistants who do all the hard work, I don't know exactly what the nurses do except swan around with stethoscopes around their necks pretending to be doctors 🤣
@@padijeff5675 And some of them are also busy documenting and updating charts.

I was friends with Ashley in Highschool. She has always been a super sweet person. Glad she got into a profession that really suits her!
And she is a great communicator

And the best was when she said "practice what you preach". :-)) I have both said this myself and had to listen to this myself.

Nurse Ashley is so beautiful she seems so kind hearted women😻😻😻 let her know she has fans
Varsha Scooby she seems like an amazing nurse. And she is gorgeous!

Do you feel the same?

I wonder too!
I suspect some parts of it are by recreation after hours. But there is definitely a certain amount of justification that can be made for the benefits towards community education by allowing it.
She’s answered this once recently and that they are open to it
I feel like since doctors aren't paid by the hour, as long as she gets her work done and attends what she needs to, who cares if she blogs in between.
The teaching part reminded of my favorite quote “It’s better to know some of the questions than know all of the answers.”
I have shadowed doctors a number of times. It profoundly changed how I relate to them.

If there is a person to pen down the patient notes that will be the best help for doctors rite????
Varsha Scooby That’s what scribes and dictation software do basically (although it’s a far from perfect system)

Edit: wow I didn’t realise how many people are in the team and how you all work together. It’s amazing
haha nice!! clearly there's a certain topic you like!!
I sure didn’t realize that either, and I think...do they actually DO THIS in OUR hospital??
As a female PreMed student, seeing the allied health team being all women is such a heart warmer. woaw!
I’ve watched your past 4 videos and I wish I had a Dr. as compassionate I’ve never seen a Dr. so caring.

The fact that you are able to hold the position of being a doctor with so many hours of work, while making weekly UA-cam videos is incredible!
Don't forget all the studying she's doing at home. That's usually why a video is "late"

I think what happens, as with any job, people get jaded and over time may lose compassion or empathy as the years pass and excitement may fade.. I sure hope she never loses her awesome bedside manner, I’d be so happy to have her as my doctor!
Dr. Violin is so special. She is extremely nice and caring. Wish more doctors were like that.
Thanks for your videos! I’m my sphere of friends/colleagues we tend to talk about the trials and tribulations of junior doctor life in a jaded cynical way (of course still wonderful and pleasant to our patients!)... it’s genuinely refreshing to watch you portray the difficulties, while being pleasant and happy. Makes me rethink how I’m passing on the cynicism to my fresh faced students, by seeing you react to the difficulties in a different way.

It truly takes a special person to become a MD. So much work and dedication. More props to you!
1:42 the famous Canadian ‘Eh’ Love it!
Being a Canadian didn't notice 😆😂🤣
Love how there is comradeship with the doctors and nurses. At my old job the doctors belittled the nurses and there was constant drama
Hi Siobhan from Ireland, this was a great video showing how hard doctors and nurses work, you both made a great team and were so natural u, friendly and open plus like the nurse knew what needed to be done for the patient, in the past was in hospital 5 months, so seen it all, and learned a lot through the whole experience, from being in ICU and everywhere in between, its an education in itself.
I love how excited u got when she asked what a volume assessment is 🤭🤭 only my 2nd video in and I already adore u!! And ur hubby! I wish yall were my doctors lol u for ur service!! 💗💗
This doctor seems soooo nice! I hope she takes the nurse’s advice and never loses her bedside manner AND her interactions with her colleagues! The way she is so open to what the nurses and other medical team members have to say is amazing. A lot of doctors don’t want to hear what us nurses have to say, or they treat us rudely or are short with us. So I really appreciate this in a doctor!!
The doctor and nurse are such nice, positive, and pleasant people, and work great as a team with the goal of helping patients, we need more doctors and nurses like this in healthcare
Hello Dr. Siobhan, It is a nice meeting of you with doctors and nurses about hospital situation and how to take care of patients in the hospital. I like your nurse shadowing for 12 hours. My huge respect is for you Siobhan
Nurse Ashely has an amazing personality and seems very positive! #NurseAshley
Yeah I've seen many comments about your positivity and great bedside manner. We all hope you never lose that.
This was such a great video idea
It's great to see the teamwork between the doctors and nurses! Nurses are the back bones of hospitals, ashlee is very committed and i can see she enjoys her job even through the stressful times. I'm going in for surgery next month but know in very good hands. Your videos are very informative and gives me an idea what goes on behind closed doors between staff which we the patients don't see. You're a fantastic asset to them all Siobhan, keep up the great work! 🤗💉💊🏥👩🏻⚕️
Currently a nursing student in the US, I love this!
This was a silly waste of time! Doctors and nurses have completely different jobs - and nurses should stop trying to be doctors and get on with the work they are really needed for!
Haiiii dear
I'm a nurse by profession and I'm from India. Recently I watched your UA-cam channel and I like you soooooo sooo much...
Medical professions means team work...
I'm proud to be a nurse........
halfway through the video my face started hurting. didnt know i was grinning the whole time. siobhan's energy is so infectious
Thanks for letting us shadow you all the time too Siobhan! 😉
As a nurse I would love to do this. Interruptions in health care are CONSTANT. They don't/can't really teach us this in nursing! What type of nursing does Ashley do?
She is the most adorable doctor ever. You can tell her smile is genuine and I am sure it helps her patients knowing she really cares. Awsome video. Amazing channel.
If you put freckles on Ashley, you guys could be sisters!
whoah they could wow
Sisters??? They look like twins! No wonder they are so lovey-dovey with each other! 🤣
Yesssssssssssss
Gosh u must be in a awesome program that allows u to follow like every dept, doctors, nurses and vice vice versa. That is so cool! You are 1 awesone lady!! Love your videos!!
Glowing as usual ♡♥ seeing you makes my spirit high ...Thanks for sharing all of these positive vibes
aww yes it was a really fun day with Ashley... made it easy to stay positive!
I've just recently found your channel and it's got me so excited to work in the field! I love what you're doing and you have such a bubbly charismatic personality. Keep doing what you're doing !
It's so exciting how medicine has evolved in the past 30 years I have been a nurse. Starting in med/surg and working in urgent care and emergency medicine, it changes so fast, so many new medications and technology. You have a great personality which seems to be well suited to your chosen field. I look forward to more videos.
She’s so super nice and smiling all the time
I love these videos they’re really informative and really great when you’re a person who has medical issues and you have to end up in the hospital and I would love to see a nurses aide following a doctor around and or have a nurses aide showing a doctor around what they do
She is such a kind-hearted person!❤️ I bet she is amazing to her patients!
I'm a nursing student and your videos give me so much motivation! Thank you Siobhan
I really want to become a nurse someday. Seeing you two work together is so inspirational !!!
I can see how residents and nurses can learn from each other about each other. Hats off to another great video.
Luv this .. especially as an experienced nurse going to med school soon
NNEKA A. What made you want to switch from nursing to med school? I’ve thought about it too!
Every doctor in training should watch how you go about your work and learn how to be professional, hardworking and dedicated yet kind, respectful and enthusiastic all at the same time. Keep up the great work!
Amazing, coming from a nurse its so refreshing to have such a compassionate doctor!
I’ve heard and experienced doctors’ attitude over years of work. This is due to work overload and numerous consults making some doctors testy and impatient. Never forget to have good bedside manners of compassion and empathy.
Lol the montage at the computer 😂 you’re so patient, working with you must be a pleasure. I work in the medical field and I appreciate patience SO MUCH!!
This was so interesting, thanka a ton! I kinda wish doctors and nurses could also shadow patients with chronic illnesses, to get an idea how daily life is like. I feel like both sides could profit, especially if there were an illness-suit, to put on like that suit you can put on where you experience how it feels to be an old person. I guess it's the walking a mile in someone else's shoes thing that really helps so much widen one's perspective.
When Ashley said don't loose the bed side manor ... Most pt do not appreciate Doc's it seems endless time when they dont attend you because they are so busy!!!! maybe it puts their bed side manor off??? The medical professions are Angels on earth we couldn't be without them.... Total respect
I'm a nurse and I loved this video! I love how open-minded are kind both of them are. So refreshing to see. It was great when the doctor enjoyed working as a team with the nurse who had shortness of breath! I wish all nurses got to shadow doctors and all doctors got to shadow nurses. I know as a nightshift med/surg nurse I would love to shadow one of the nightshift hospitalists for a day. We only have 2 hospitalists for the whole hospital at night and it'd be so interesting to see what they're doing all night long!
I think a lot of new doctors have a decent bedside manner because they have a bit more time. (I'm thinking family doctors). My own was amazing at the beginning but as the years have gone on, and her practice has grown, she spends less time with you, less time hearing you, and you just don't feel 100% on board with them. This has happened with other doctors I've seen over the years as well. OR... if they can't figure out what is wrong or if you suffer a mental health issue, the doctors seem to change their attitudes towards you as a patient. I have anxiety and now every time something comes up and I see a doctor, they chalk it up to "mental health issue" and don't give a time of day. It's horrible and I hope you never become o e of those kinds of doctors. Just because someone has mental illness doesn't mean they cannot get physically ill as well. Great video 💖 ***i also believe that the lack of family physicians here in Ontario plays a huge part in the bedside manner. More patients, less time, more work, less time..... pattern.....**** I'd love to hear your thoughts on this in a future video @violinmd
I think complacency plays a role in this. The job becomes no longer an exciting novelty and they become used to the daily grind and it seems mundane to them. They forget that from the patient's experience, it's not part of their mundane daily grind, they need full and undivided attention and thoughtfulness but the doctor has a million other "tasks" on their mind and the patient becomes a task instead of properly shifting their attention to the whole individual they're seeing at that moment. They forget some social and emotional skills and jump straight to what they think the point is. Ice caught myself developing some complacency like that on health related social media posts so that's what I think is happening. Now that I've identified it, hopefully I'll be able to prevent falling into that habit if/when I become a health professional. With a professional qualification, I hope to be able to educate other health workers on how to identify and prevent it in themselves.
I agree with this and I am in Ontario as well. I am thankful that I switched to a family doctor who told me right off that my history of anxiety has no bearing on how she will treat my physical ailments. It was a huge relief!
I had an internist ask my history and tell me my neurological symptoms were due to mental health, and I needed a psychiatrist. He also didn't take any notes during our 2 min appt. Finally, a wonderful movement specialist out of Hamilton diagnosed my hemifacial spasm and affected cranial nerves. It is hard for doctors here so I understand but it is important in any profession that we do not become complacent.
I also feel.there is a big discrepency between the quality of care you can receive in say Toronto or Hamilton opposed to smaller cities outside the GTA (like Kitchener where I live). Kitchener is great if you need your life saved, heart issues or bleeding out. If you need more sophisticated diagnostics and docs who know more about uncommon medical issues then you need to go to the GTA.
Ditto with the mental health
Yeah it's really concerning how I keep hearing about how when doctors aren't sure about something they can blame the condition on anxiety.
doctors like you make me strive to be a better doctor, I love your videos!
If it isn't a thing already, it really ought to be, for both professions (doctors and nurses), that they do a day (or even a week) shadowing on the other side to get a real in-depth glimpse into what the day-to-day life of the doctor/nurse is like. Is this encouraged in hospitals or in med schools and nursing schools? Seriously, I can see no downside in the long term. Yes, both have a lot to learn to simply become a nurse or doctor, so this would add another bit of education, but the benefits to everyone (doctors, nurses and patients) would be enormous!
The pager hand off was just golden 😂😂
I LOVED this!!! Such a great idea! It'd be awesome if hospitals made this part of the training.
And great job Ashley! You can tell just frm the video that you're one amazing n caring nurse! Thank you both for bringing such kindness and empathy to the medical field !! 💜💜
your videos are simple, that even non medico can get an understanding. good job!
Great idea to encourage team work among staff! Many work environments can be encouraged through a shadowing like this. I'm a teacher and I believe a day in the life shadow could help us in our school.
Love these videos! Really is giving me a perspective of what the work life is in the hospital and how things work. I’ve always considered being a nurse and this really helped my decision!!!
Theses videos are so informative as a patient I now know why it takes so long for doctors to get to us. U guys have so much to do. Thank you for all that u do.
Yes I experience just about the same couple of things at hospital I work at as housekeeping:
- non stop line of requests from nurses, techs (for cleaning or portering (also them if they aren't there at the time))
- not stopping for water. I do that same thing, too caught up in the work to take a breather.
Amazing video! It is so neat to see all the different people that come together for a patient. It would be awesome if you could do a video explaining the roles of each person in your team, like the differences between a senior medical resident and a first-year resident, or between them and an attending physician. Again, this was so fun to watch! 😊
Some of it is explained here: ua-cam.com/video/qhSNOSBLxos/v-deo.html
@@MsStina84 Thanks so much! I've actually already seen that one. I understand what they are in terms of hierarchy, but I meant their actual assignments. These videos show so much, it doesn't seem to be much left to do!
Thank you for sharing ALL of your videos. The medical field is a stressful place to work from front desk to Doctors. Everyone plays a crucial role in patient care. Once again, thank you.
