Whenever a doctor answers my page and sounds like I woke them up, I go out of my way to have a cup of coffee waiting for them. They don't always drink it, but it makes them smile most of the time.
As a doctor that makes me so happy I work with wonderful nurses and so my doctor friends tell me their nurses aren’t always the best and that I am so lucky to have a great team of doctors and nurses! So it’s great to hear that you help to make the situation better
@@biancadesousa and that’s completely fine. I just think she’s such a positive and sweet person, everyone wants to know more about her and how she lives her life. I know I want to see more of her and I aspire to be more like her. 😊
I’m a 17 year old guy that is working on a career that has nothing to do with being a doctor or anything along those lines and play video games 24/7 and yet this still randomly pops into my recommended but yet I’m intrigued by this content
When I was 17 I used to get the same thing I used to watch every video later on I got interested and got into medical school maybe this is a sign from the universe
3:35 I slept through a fire alarm that was going off for five minutes straight at band camp that was right outside my door... I think I'll use the vibration idea
I'm 3rd year medical student from somalia. You are the secret behind my motivation towards my goal.. Thank u so much for your helpful vlogging wish me a good luck I'm doing my comprehensive exams towards clinical classes
I was wondering if it might be an interesting video to do a “what I wish I could tell patients” or “what I wish patients would do” vid. Like keep your medications in order, eat more vegetables, don’t delay routine visits or procedures, or whatever you see a lot of that could maybe help people stay out of the hospital or at least have a better outcome.
Oh my gosh this would be great!!!! Know what medical conditions you have, know what meds you take and what they're actually for (just those two would be huge). If I could throw in eat more vegetables and go for at least a short walk every day and stop smoking that's starting to seem like too much to ask haha but it would be so nice
I was just thinking the same thing. I have horrible medical anxiety and honestly this does help me knowing there are truly good medical professionals that just love to help.
I have a super rare disease that only 10 people for every million have. I'm having my 8th brain surgery in 9 years coming up soon. It is understandable to be afraid, but don't be! Yes, some doctors, nurses, etc. just plain suck. They do. Same as any other profession, some people are in their line of work for the wrong reasons and it shows. However, MOST people in healthcare truly do want the best for you! Keep in mind that they are human and will have bad days. In the U.S. at least, nurses are way overworked and some doctors are too. That can create so much stress that they seem less than friendly when in reality, they care and are upset that they can't do their very best for every patient because they simply have too little time & not enough help. All of that said, in order to go through what they go through, including ungrateful & demanding patients, most of them really do care. I've been hospitalized dozens of times and have had hundreds of nurses & doctors in that time, so I've had a pretty good "survey" to base this on! Even with my disease being so rare & thus difficult to treat, most of those caring for me have tried their best to meet my needs. If you need healthcare then get it, don't put it off out of fear!
I should probably let you know that Siobhan appears to have a tendency to put the stethoscope over the shirt. That's definitely something. As far as I'm aware, the best doctors always ensure it touches the skin!
@@petercdowney 1) What does that have to do with the comment you're replying to? 2) I absolutely disagree. Sometimes they can't get a good listen through clothing but if they can, why risk spreading germs from patient to patient? I HATE when doctors put their stethoscope on my skin. They only do it if they have to because they know this. The doctors I've spoken with try to avoid it for exactly the reason I just said - the last thing you want is to listen to the heart & lungs of a sick patient and then put it on the body of a healthy one.
Do all of these before you tackle this field: Exercise, eat better, yoga, manage time, and surround yourself with the MOST powerful vibes to push you forward- EVERYTHING is mental you just gotta mentally prepare
thats why only the best students are chosen to be doctors, if you start of smart, the job is slightly easier for you. On oncall days on the other hand you need a alot endurance as you most probably wont be able to sleep the whole night and expected to perform at a good level the next day. in some centers you have to work 8am till 5pm the next day.
Adnan A fire alarms (drills) make me jump out of fight or flight like a flinch then my heart rate goes up but then i’m not scared just anxious or annoyed because the alarm in loud
Eh, as a nurse, if the doctor isn't responding to me fast enough, I just call someone else 😂 At my hospital, we have answering services too. So if I page a doctor overheard with no response, I'll call his/her answering services. They'll either page him/her again or direct me to an NP on call that can usually help until the doctor responds.
What a cheerful person she is. Her attitude is contagious and I bet she is amazingly to work with. I’ve worked with some people who are so negative it that sucked the life out of me and I wish I had more people with such an uplifting spirit in my workplace
I struggling to get into medical school, and sometimes I wonder if it's worth all that work and study, but when I see a doctor who have years of practice, and don't even get that newbie excitement anymore, get soooo motivated just for conecting to a pacient at 3:00 am... I Know I'm in the right path and all will be worthy. I hope I enjoy this trip and thank you Siobhan
I’m a nurse who deals with many different doctors. Some are snooty and feel they are above everyone else and some are very personable and really connect with patients and nurses too. You are obviously one who really connects with your patients and nurses. You’ll do well and be an awesome doctor. Don’t ever lose your humility. Best of luck to you in an amazing career.
I definitely understood when you questioned why you’re working so hard and your friends are having fun. I’ve felt this way since I started college. But, my mind is in the right place and I know where I want to be and that’s in the hospital helping others and traveling one day. You’re great to look up to ❤️
Hi Siobhan. It's my favorite part of the day. Have you ever declare someone dead, and after a while the impossible happened and they got a pulse? Like in the movie Breakthrough. I cried 😭 and it's based on a true story.
We had a patient come into the ER who had fallen into the Ohio river in January. Witnesses said he was underwater for 20 minutes. Patient had no vitals when EMS found them. By time the patient got to ED he had been without a pulse or respirations for about 36 minutes. Because his body temperature was kept so low due to the ice cold water, our amazing physicians managed to resuscitate him... Two days later he started breathing on his own again and woke up. He had almost no lasting damage even though he was clinically dead for more than 30 minutes.
I love your videos, I'm a current University student and watching your videos inspires me to try my best in my classes in order to help the future of my field
Love this! Self care is so important. I recently graduated from nursing school at 39y/o, and will be starting a nurse residency in the ED in July. I did a career change after I became disenchanted with corporate America, and mundane desk jobs. What made you want to return to school to pursue medicine instead of playing violin professionally? P.S. Can we get a few more violin videos?
Yes, that plug worked I will definitely watch your next q&a! Thanks for taking to talk about mental health! Love your videos Siobhan and are an inspiration!!
I love her energy shes a natural on camera shes very smart and beautiful this channel is awesome I haven't ever seen another channel that gives us sort of a way to get into the life of a doctor in such a good way shes awesome I love this channel
I totally agree with you about the hospital environment. I am a deep sleeper myself but whenever I am on-call I cannot sleep as deeply as I do at home. Somewhere in the back of my mind it is always there that I would miss a call. And sometimes when the night is going heavy I just don't sleep. Besides it's so fun to eat with everyone on-call at 3 am in the morning chatting away about life with your colleagues! Loved your videos. Your positive attitude is so inspiring and just makes my day. Have a Good day!
Hey Siobhan! I just want to thank you for making these kinds of videos... I think I must have watched all of your videos now! I'm going to be starting my path to becoming a RN. Your videos are helping to inform me of how life in the hospital is, and so far it's an environment that I can truly see myself in! You seem like a pleasure to work with and I hope that at the end of my college journey in 3 years, that I find a workplace that has physicians and residents like you. You are so appreciated! Thank you!
I'm a 4th year medical student, and I alwayss love to watch your videos!! You are an inspiring person, and you give me the strenght to continue when i'm really exhausted.
So far I don’t know why she is not having that much reviews and subscribes , she is doing great job and great explanation for people, if u watching this channel don’t forget the 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I reeky appreciate you and this video. While I am not a medical student, I am a nursing student and I feel that it is so important for us to drive home the fact that our mental and emotional health is SO utterly important. Becoming burned out is all to common and so easy to do when you are constantly on the go. Its refreshing to hear that you too feel like you need your own time to recoup and relax, even though you absolutely love your practice. GREAT VIDEO!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hey Siobhan. today is my 1 year hospital anniversary (the day i got out of the icu after 8 months). You realy inspire me to keep fighting every day with simple stuff like: taking meds at school, regular hospital oppoitmants and many more!! . but today is not only my anniversary, but its my 14th birthday!!! i love u so much Siobhan and keep that irish side of u bright, like me xx
As a medical lab tech, I never get to see the front end of patient care but watching your videos has really taught me a lot. I've always wondered what the next steps nurses and doctors take after receiving a critical value or how you decide the best course of treatment. It's amazing to see all that goes into it. I love all of your videos ❤️
Omg! You answered a question i asked in Insta DM, and other people too, but i would be so scared that i won't wake up because i am a really deep sleeper😅 but sleeping with the pager on you and the sound all turned up, i am pretty sure i would wake up hahaha
The fear of sleeping through something critical was honestly what kept me from going for an MD or DO degree when I was younger. I deal with a lot of fatigue. Hopefully with medication, I can make it through if I decide to go to med school in a few years once the kids are grown up and if I get admitted. It would be my dream to be an OB / GYN, but obviously that is not the friendliest profession for someone who does not tolerate sleep deprivation well.
That’s so true regarding the mental health aspect, my mum is a registered nurse and one of her colleagues who was quite new to it all took responsibility for every bad thing that happened when one night she lost a patient and she couldn’t handle it... she ended up taking her own life that same night. Mum was very sad 😔.
Hello, Siobhan. Im a IMG from Serbia who is in two months starting my FM residency at UBC. Thank you very much for your dedication on producing this amazing videos. Your vblog helped me to relax and to know what to expect from my residency. All the best
@@ViolinMD I live in Vancouver for almost two years, so I can say, indeed, it`s beautiful and funny. However, as I matched to Prince George, the possibilities for outdoor adventure are going to be even bigger.
Hey Siobhan, I'm currently a Pre-Vet student which is soooo similar to Med so when I first found you I really was intrigued to see all your videos and see how the medical field is like. While we have different patients, the issues with students and residents are so similar that your videos help me mentally prepare for what's coming up. I just want to say thank you for making such interesting videos and honestly helping me prepare. All your tips and advice I plan on using within my Veterinary path. :))
Our doctors have switched from pagers to just using cellphones, one doctor is known for sleeping through pages and we’ve had to call the police a few times to check on him lmao.
You would make a great teacher/mentor to future doctors one day! I just got out of a week stay in hospital and I have so much more respect for doctors and nurses!
10 out of 10 would patient... Wait i don't wanna get sick... In all seriousness, love you and thank you for what you do. Neither easy or glamorous, but a humbling line a work. I appreciate you truly.
very late to your channel but i am so glad i discovered your channel. Your positivity and pleasant demeanor and professionalism is so amazing to see. I love it
Can you make a video about general tips on taking care of yourself? I know that isn't specific. Maybe.. self-care tips is what I'm trying to say. You are an inspiration and I really enjoy your videos!
Freshly minted veterinarian former cellist here! Just stumbled upon your videos, and your energy and your videos are absolutely wonderful! You are such an inspiration.
It’s like musicians and DJs who play the same song every weekend for weeks/months. They’re probably sick of hearing their own music, but as soon as it’s showtime and they see the hype crowd, they get really into it and put on a great show
Hey Siobhan! I can relate to u so much in many ways like: we both: play violin, both Irish, and the amount of time we spent in the hospital🏥. I was a regular hospital patient all my life. Xx I luv watching your videos Xx . Your like...idk..... the doctor that cares for people like me on a day to day basis like no other ❤️ ily Siobhan
Thank you for bringing up the mental health point as a nursing student burnout is real and taking time for myself and friends has helped so much and I have to tell myself I shouldn’t feel guilty taking a break from my school work for 3 hours to spend time with friends I’ll manage to get it done! Having a balance with work and fun is important to recharge :)
You have no idea how long i have been waiting for a new video. The week just dragged because i just feel lost without your videos. I think im generally obsessed with your videos now you are my favourite youtuber and no one could change my mind. Ive watched every vlog over and over i think to point i know what you're saying at what point im that obsessed 😂😂 i love them and you!! I have regained my love for residency ive actually now changed my college course from childcare to studying biology specifically medicine. You are my biggest inspiration and i have so much respect for you more than anyone its just all perfect. Love from England ❤
You are literally the most lovely person. Our disciplines are polar opposites as I study Law but I legit cannot stop watching your videos. How do you stay so happy? XD
I love all of your videos, Dr. Siobhan. I have been binge watching them for days. The calls are great and they are the reason that I am finally getting out of my college dropout/depressive faze of my life. I started retaking my bipolar medicine again and have decided to go back to college after being out for a year and a half. I want to become a doctor because of your inspiration. Completely motivating me to become confident in myself and go for my dreams. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing videos. They really are the highlight of my day.
Hi, just wanted to say that you seem like such a nice person and I love how you almost always have a smile on your face. I love your positivity and vibe 💛
Currently at home with bone and muscle inflammation in the shoulder (actually everything is inflamed... the MRI looked like a battle field) that was misdiagnosed as bursitis and your video really lifted my spirits, thank you.
I am not a medical student but I still enjoy to see what goes on in hospitals from a doctors perspective because I am disabled with cerebral palsy and have been in a hospital many times for operations
Watching this youtuber for the first time, and i must say shes like a ray of sunshine happiness! Haha, so cute! Im impressed she plays violin and works as a doctor. Subscribed on the first video ive seen!
It always seems that, no matter how sleep-deprived you are, how hard you've been working, you're always perky and wholesome and ready to take on the next challenge. I'm an old woman, and I can't do that. But I've spent too much time in hospitals recently, and I wish I'd had doctors like you caring for me - you treat your patients as *people*, not just "cases".
Hi Siobhan, I know what you mean by 3:45; that same mindset effect prevented me from sleeping in a jumpseat of cargo planes. Any radio communication would get me automatically alert in seconds. You're a precious, so valuable lovely person!
Coincidentally, the bell sound heard at 0:52 can be heard in hospitals as the fire alarm system’s alarm signal, since hospitals don’t usually like loud buzzing/shrieking alarms that are heard in most other buildings.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. Sometimes in my shift I'm so tired to wake up at 4.00 am in the morming dor a page, I needed to hear this. It inspired to me and figure out that I am not alone with this feeling.
I just started watching your videos and I love your channel!! I went through 3 years of music school as a clarinet performance major and then decided I didn’t want to be a professional musician anymore and decided to switch to nutrition. It was such a hard decision but now I am planning to apply to PA school when I graduate!! Seeing that you were also a music performance major inspires me so much and makes me realize that I didn’t not waste years in music school but instead made myself more well rounded and learned more about myself! Love your videos 😊
Im a new subscriber and I love watching your videos. Im binge watching cuz i can't sleep at night. Lol. You're so sweet. Keep up the good work. You will be the best dr ever!
I did exactly that for all my interviews! I am the lightest sleeper but I was still paranoid about sleeping through an alarm and missing my interview. So, I would turn on vibrate and sound and tuck my phone underneath me as long as my charger reached.
Love your videos! I love what you teach us! You have a wonderful, loving & caring personality. You come across as a really awesome doctor. Lucky patients who get to have you. Too many times over the years, I have had specialists who were awful to deal with & had a God complex. Luckily these past 5 years I have been blessed with a great GP who’s compassionate & caring. She believes me. I have an Internist who’s also awesome & works hard to figure out my challenges. I am so glad that I have found your videos!👀👌🇨🇦😍👍🇨🇦🤩👍
I wish all doctors were like you. Kind, compassionate, positive, knowledgeable. I have autism and so afraid of doctors don't understand me. Do they teach you about patients with mental health issues?.
same. i'm a regular hospital patient but there is no doctor out there that is more caring and amazing then siobhan. espesially when your irish, play violin and a fighter ...... like me
Whenever a doctor answers my page and sounds like I woke them up, I go out of my way to have a cup of coffee waiting for them. They don't always drink it, but it makes them smile most of the time.

Yes
As a doctor that makes me so happy I work with wonderful nurses and so my doctor friends tell me their nurses aren’t always the best and that I am so lucky to have a great team of doctors and nurses! So it’s great to hear that you help to make the situation better
Wow..you are truly a wonderful person..little things like that go a long way ^-^
MinnieBear aw that’s so sweet

I don't know how one stays so positive, happy and cheerful after going through residency and seeing all kinds of things and people.
Hey Siobhan! I just want to thank you for making these kinds of videos... I think I must have watched all of your videos now! I'm going to be starting my path to becoming a RN. Your videos are helping to inform me of how life in the hospital is, and so far it's an environment that I can truly see myself in! You seem like a pleasure to work with and I hope that at the end of my college journey in 3 years, that I find a workplace that has physicians and residents like you. You are so appreciated! Thank you!
I'm a 4th year medical student, and I alwayss love to watch your videos!! You are an inspiring person, and you give me the strenght to continue when i'm really exhausted.
You're always so bubbly and personable in your videos. Makes me so happy to watch and learn.
So far I don’t know why she is not having that much reviews and subscribes , she is doing great job and great explanation for people, if u watching this channel don’t forget the 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes girl! Yes! This is YOUR calling. A simple Q&A shows it.
I reeky appreciate you and this video. While I am not a medical student, I am a nursing student and I feel that it is so important for us to drive home the fact that our mental and emotional health is SO utterly important. Becoming burned out is all to common and so easy to do when you are constantly on the go. Its refreshing to hear that you too feel like you need your own time to recoup and relax, even though you absolutely love your practice. GREAT VIDEO!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is a nice doctor and understanding , some
Doctors are so reckless and they dont even spend time w u
Can we talk about how perfect the thumbnail is?
hey Siobhan. today is my 1 year hospital anniversary (the day i got out of the icu after 8 months). You realy inspire me to keep fighting every day with simple stuff like: taking meds at school, regular hospital oppoitmants and many more!! . but today is not only my anniversary, but its my 14th birthday!!! i love u so much Siobhan and keep that irish side of u bright, like me xx
As a medical lab tech, I never get to see the front end of patient care but watching your videos has really taught me a lot. I've always wondered what the next steps nurses and doctors take after receiving a critical value or how you decide the best course of treatment. It's amazing to see all that goes into it. I love all of your videos ❤️
Omg! You answered a question i asked in Insta DM, and other people too, but i would be so scared that i won't wake up because i am a really deep sleeper😅 but sleeping with the pager on you and the sound all turned up, i am pretty sure i would wake up hahaha
Haha yes exactly! They are pretty obnoxious sounding 😂
The fear of sleeping through something critical was honestly what kept me from going for an MD or DO degree when I was younger. I deal with a lot of fatigue. Hopefully with medication, I can make it through if I decide to go to med school in a few years once the kids are grown up and if I get admitted. It would be my dream to be an OB / GYN, but obviously that is not the friendliest profession for someone who does not tolerate sleep deprivation well.
That’s so true regarding the mental health aspect, my mum is a registered nurse and one of her colleagues who was quite new to it all took responsibility for every bad thing that happened when one night she lost a patient and she couldn’t handle it... she ended up taking her own life that same night. Mum was very sad 😔.
Anybody will be lucky for you to take care of them. What a great person you are.🙂
Hello, Siobhan. Im a IMG from Serbia who is in two months starting my FM residency at UBC. Thank you very much for your dedication on producing this amazing videos.
Your vblog helped me to relax and to know what to expect from my residency. All the best
Great to hear that! Oh wow BC is gorgeous, I hope you have some time to explore the country or do some hiking! Have a great time
@@ViolinMD I live in Vancouver for almost two years, so I can say, indeed, it`s beautiful and funny. However, as I matched to Prince George, the possibilities for outdoor adventure are going to be even bigger.
Hey Siobhan, I'm currently a Pre-Vet student which is soooo similar to Med so when I first found you I really was intrigued to see all your videos and see how the medical field is like. While we have different patients, the issues with students and residents are so similar that your videos help me mentally prepare for what's coming up. I just want to say thank you for making such interesting videos and honestly helping me prepare. All your tips and advice I plan on using within my Veterinary path. :))
Your level of energy is contagious. Love your videos.
I just stumbled across her coV 19 video and now Going thru all her videos bc I enjoy watching.
yayyyy! siobhan, love your videos and I am truly inspired by you, lots of love from a fellow doctor colleague in the uk xxx
Yea, her vlogs are great!
Congrats, and good luck! That said what are you going to specialize in?
WE are the best?!?! No you're the best!! Seriously love your videos. Makes us feel like we are right with you during your call shifts!! ❤❤
Our doctors have switched from pagers to just using cellphones, one doctor is known for sleeping through pages and we’ve had to call the police a few times to check on him lmao.
You would make a great teacher/mentor to future doctors one day! I just got out of a week stay in hospital and I have so much more respect for doctors and nurses!
I definitely agree about the on call thing. I had to be on call for my job and you don't sleep soundly because you know something could happen.
This is the greatest content I’ve stumbled upon in my years of watching UA-cam!
10 out of 10 would patient... Wait i don't wanna get sick... In all seriousness, love you and thank you for what you do. Neither easy or glamorous, but a humbling line a work. I appreciate you truly.
very late to your channel but i am so glad i discovered your channel. Your positivity and pleasant demeanor and professionalism is so amazing to see. I love it
Can you make a video about general tips on taking care of yourself? I know that isn't specific. Maybe.. self-care tips is what I'm trying to say. You are an inspiration and I really enjoy your videos!
Freshly minted veterinarian former cellist here! Just stumbled upon your videos, and your energy and your videos are absolutely wonderful! You are such an inspiration.
It’s like musicians and DJs who play the same song every weekend for weeks/months. They’re probably sick of hearing their own music, but as soon as it’s showtime and they see the hype crowd, they get really into it and put on a great show
Hey Siobhan! I can relate to u so much in many ways like: we both: play violin, both Irish, and the amount of time we spent in the hospital🏥. I was a regular hospital patient all my life. Xx I luv watching your videos Xx . Your like...idk..... the doctor that cares for people like me on a day to day basis like no other ❤️ ily Siobhan
Sleep as a doctor? Don't make me laugh 🤣
How to Medicate I followed your channel! You have a lot of great information on your channel and I hope more people will see it. :)
@@haylz27 that is really sweet of you! It means a lot to me! Thank you!
😂😂😂 that made me laugh
Ima checkout ur channel! 😁 hopefully future doc! 🙋🏻♀️ hopefully 😅
@@AkiraMoon313 goodluck
Thank you for bringing up the mental health point as a nursing student burnout is real and taking time for myself and friends has helped so much and I have to tell myself I shouldn’t feel guilty taking a break from my school work for 3 hours to spend time with friends I’ll manage to get it done! Having a balance with work and fun is important to recharge :)
You are amazing I’m glad you chose this profession I wish the doctors I work with were all like you..
my mum sometimes works all day on weekends, as an ICU nurse, and it’s tradition that the consultants always bring in nice food for breakfast!
You have no idea how long i have been waiting for a new video. The week just dragged because i just feel lost without your videos. I think im generally obsessed with your videos now you are my favourite youtuber and no one could change my mind. Ive watched every vlog over and over i think to point i know what you're saying at what point im that obsessed 😂😂 i love them and you!! I have regained my love for residency ive actually now changed my college course from childcare to studying biology specifically medicine. You are my biggest inspiration and i have so much respect for you more than anyone its just all perfect. Love from England ❤
You are literally the most lovely person. Our disciplines are polar opposites as I study Law but I legit cannot stop watching your videos. How do you stay so happy? XD
I love all of your videos, Dr. Siobhan. I have been binge watching them for days. The calls are great and they are the reason that I am finally getting out of my college dropout/depressive faze of my life. I started retaking my bipolar medicine again and have decided to go back to college after being out for a year and a half. I want to become a doctor because of your inspiration. Completely motivating me to become confident in myself and go for my dreams. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing videos. They really are the highlight of my day.
Hi, just wanted to say that you seem like such a nice person and I love how you almost always have a smile on your face. I love your positivity and vibe 💛
Currently at home with bone and muscle inflammation in the shoulder (actually everything is inflamed... the MRI looked like a battle field) that was misdiagnosed as bursitis and your video really lifted my spirits, thank you.
Aw sorry to hear that.. that sounds incredibly painful 😟 I hope you are feeling better soon!
About as painful as it sounds but slowly getting better, thank you! Especially with nice videos to keep the boredom away! 😊
I feel like I would wake up and be like "where's that noise coming from?"
You are so nice!!!! I have never ever met a doctor like you even when working in a hospital!
I am not a medical student but I still enjoy to see what goes on in hospitals from a doctors perspective because I am disabled with cerebral palsy and have been in a hospital many times for operations
Watching this youtuber for the first time, and i must say shes like a ray of sunshine happiness! Haha, so cute! Im impressed she plays violin and works as a doctor. Subscribed on the first video ive seen!
2nd year med student here from PH. Will take the Internal Medicine path soon. Love watching your videos! 💙💙💙
It always seems that, no matter how sleep-deprived you are, how hard you've been working, you're always perky and wholesome and ready to take on the next challenge. I'm an old woman, and I can't do that. But I've spent too much time in hospitals recently, and I wish I'd had doctors like you caring for me - you treat your patients as *people*, not just "cases".
her voice is so calming
I don't understand how you have the energy to be a doctor and a vlogger and nice!?
Hi Siobhan, I know what you mean by 3:45; that same mindset effect prevented me from sleeping in a jumpseat of cargo planes. Any radio communication would get me automatically alert in seconds. You're a precious, so valuable lovely person!
Hello Dr. Siobhan, That is really a good question & answer session video of you with your followers and your response to the patients and calls
Coincidentally, the bell sound heard at 0:52 can be heard in hospitals as the fire alarm system’s alarm signal, since hospitals don’t usually like loud buzzing/shrieking alarms that are heard in most other buildings.
Good job and keep up your fantastic attitude, hard work, and example for others, Siobhan!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. Sometimes in my shift I'm so tired to wake up at 4.00 am in the morming dor a page, I needed to hear this. It inspired to me and figure out that I am not alone with this feeling.
I just started watching your videos and I love your channel!! I went through 3 years of music school as a clarinet performance major and then decided I didn’t want to be a professional musician anymore and decided to switch to nutrition. It was such a hard decision but now I am planning to apply to PA school when I graduate!! Seeing that you were also a music performance major inspires me so much and makes me realize that I didn’t not waste years in music school but instead made myself more well rounded and learned more about myself! Love your videos 😊
Im a new subscriber and I love watching your videos. Im binge watching cuz i can't sleep at night. Lol. You're so sweet. Keep up the good work. You will be the best dr ever!
Eating lunch from Panera and watching Siobhan, ahhhh life is good right now 🙃
I did exactly that for all my interviews! I am the lightest sleeper but I was still paranoid about sleeping through an alarm and missing my interview. So, I would turn on vibrate and sound and tuck my phone underneath me as long as my charger reached.
Love your videos! I love what you teach us! You have a wonderful, loving & caring personality. You come across as a really awesome doctor. Lucky patients who get to have you. Too many times over the years, I have had specialists who were awful to deal with & had a God complex. Luckily these past 5 years I have been blessed with a great GP who’s compassionate & caring. She believes me. I have an Internist who’s also awesome & works hard to figure out my challenges. I am so glad that I have found your videos!👀👌🇨🇦😍👍🇨🇦🤩👍
I wish all doctors were like you. Kind, compassionate, positive, knowledgeable. I have autism and so afraid of doctors don't understand me. Do they teach you about patients with mental health issues?.
same. i'm a regular hospital patient but there is no doctor out there that is more caring and amazing then siobhan. espesially when your irish, play violin and a fighter ...... like me
You’re the kind of doctor I aspire to be.
I really enjoyed seeing some of your followers. It's nice to see some of the people with same interests.
