@hola hola IKR I love her she is super happy all the time I would love for her to be my nurse she would be awesome I love people who are cheerful all the time.
Would you consider letting us in to your personal life a little bit more? How/when you prep food? Workout? Your fiancé? Wedding planning? Maybe a “day in my day off life”
@roast beef Yep. It doesn't affect me at all. I didn't even know I was missing a kidney until I was 18 and they found out when I was getting scans for an unrelated sports injury.
roast beef Alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, not the kidney. Also, one kidney can easily do the work of both kidneys as long as it is healthy :)
@@kellyhyland4574 heyy! So once you found out that you had only 1 kidney, did u have another kidney transplanted into u? If yes thsn how was the experience? Thanks, have a nice day❤
Here in Ireland, I’ve Cystic Fibrosis and I go into hospital for 3 weeks every 2-3 months. I love all the staff, but it’s great to see the behind the scenes! Keep it up Siobhan! Hi from Ireland 💜
Hi Benat! Thanks for sharing... you have your own very unique understanding of the hospital system and in many ways i'm sorry to hear that (wish you didn't have to go through this). Great to have you here in the community!
Violin MD my grandma had pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease and she passed away when she was only 72 or somewhere around there. It was REALLY difficult for me to process at first because she was always so nice to people even with the memory loss. I will miss you forever 👵 Ghram😘😘😘💋💋💋
I work in a hospital as a HCA (Healthcare Assistant) and all I hear when I get home is the phone ringing, call bells, and falls alarms- honestly it haunts you
i got a liver and kidney when i was young but the kidney failed and i was on dialysis for four years and finally got a new kidney in 2018 and it has been a year with a new kidney and NO MORE dialysis yayyyy
I had a kidney transplant on the 5th August 2019 (this year) recovering well I’m so pleased and blessed and have so much respect for the doctors and nurses who work tirelessly everyday looking after their patients!
Hi Siobhan I’m Natalie. I’m turning 12 in a week (April 29) I want to be a doctor (more specifically a ER physician in the Alberta children’s hospital) and I discovered your videos about a month ago and I can’t stop watching them! I love that your Canadian because I am too! Love from Calgary, Alberta
Stop discouraging Natalie! If she wants to be a doctor, *encourage her dreams* rather than tearing it down because all you’ve chosen to focus on is the negatives on the medical world.
Thank you for covering nephrology and this specialty. I have been on various modalities of dialysis since 2013 and just got my transplant Dec, 2019. So far doing well and stable. Going to watch your other vlog on dialysis now. Have watched a lot of your other vlogs over the years and it’s informative and shows how much you care about patients and other folks you work with. These are great vlogs.
The whole transplant surgery process is so cool! It’s also interesting how old kidneys are left inside often and transplanted kidneys are just added on.
My dad had a kidney-pancreas transplant in 1992, and has had three kidneys and two pancreases ever since. All of his native organs still had some function, so it was thought to be preferable to add, rather than to replace. Post-transplant medication regimens are complex, but critical to keeping your new organs healthy and preventing rejection. If you or someone you know is contemplating getting an organ transplant, it's best to prepare for it by making sure you are taking your medications correctly before the transplant, as that habit can save and extend your life after the transplant.
Thank you for this video. As a 2013 Heart Transplant recipient and transplant educator I’m always thrilled to get more information. You sharing this story with your influence will definitely be a positive thing for organ donation. Thank you for all you do.
My mum actually had a kidney transplant once! I’m so happy that I get to use your channel to educate myself on the system she went through when she was unwell
As a kidney tx recipient, a huge shout out to my amazing neph, and all renal doctors. Been seeing him since i was 10 weeks old Remember organ donation is the most selfless gift you can give. What do you think you will specialize in when you finish your rotations etc. Fact, the native kidneys shrink once you have had a tx. We have a txrecipient who is 40 years post tx here in Australia
You get an on call room? With a bed??? The UK version is putting two or three chairs in a row and sleeping across them and rolling up a hospital blanket as a pillow (or your own jumper).
That’s awful:( you should bring a cot to Work! There are some really nice ones that are lightweight super easy to take out when needed and put back/carry around :). My fiancé and I both used our own for military training since the ones they provide are crap
I'm a Nurse, and I absolutely love watching your videos on my down time (if there is any) at work, while I'm charting, eating lunch... etc. They can be very educational and interesting! So, thank you!
This video was actually kinda cool to see because I got a kidney transplant in the past year and it was cool seeing what goes on behind the scenes with it
I donated a kidney to a stranger last year and it was actually a great experience! Thank you for showcasing how important it is for the kidney patients to get transplants!
My husband was in dialysis for 15 years finally he got the green light to be on a transplant list 3 weeks later we got tu call. It has been a blessing he is so normal and healthy. Thank you so much UW drs for giving my husband a future. Thank you for being an awesome dr.
I love this channel, I play the violin, and want to major as a MD in Cardiology, her videos are so entertaining and positive! Thank you so much Siobhon!
My Papa was on this unit at this Hospital before he passed away❤️he was in and out of that unit a lot... thanks to all the doctors for their amazing care!
My husband had a kidney transplant from an altruistic donor. It's been life changing. I highly recommend registering as an organ donor. It saves lives.
I love that transplant patients are immediately admitted under the transplant team. As a transplant recipient myself (not kidney) it makes me feel so much better because I know if whatever is wrong with me is transplant related, my doctors will find it!
Thank you for the great video! I am a 2 time kidney transplant recipient. I am currently 9.5 years post transplant, getting ready for baby number #2 post transplant. I have had CKD since childhood and I know how meaningful this video will be for those who have CKD. Nephrologists rock! Have you decided on a speciality yet? I am a birth doula, and if I was 10 years younger I would go back to school to become a midwife. But right now my life is a bit busy for school. Thanks again for helping bring awareness to Kidney Disease and the Transplant process!!
Are all shifts that you do call shifts? Or do you have “normal” hours during the week and occasionally have call shifts? I’m just curious how a typical work schedule is for doctors
I think she touched on her schedule when she was talking about whether or not it's dangerous to be as sleep-deprived as they are. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kr9_ofPZzRk.html
Love your videos 😍 been binge watching for the past couple of weeks since stubbing across your channel. I was born with (still have) 4 functioning kidneys with 4 separate ureters which is rare. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
my great aunt had a kidney transplant, so it’s interesting to learn a little more about it. your channel is really cool, haven’t found anything else quite like it! ♥️♥️♥️
My dad had a lung transplant last year, coming up on a year in a couple of months. He's doing great now. Transplants are such a miracle, and I am so grateful to the doctors who are able to perform them.
Your voice is very soothing to hear.Just had a ear infection and after hearing you my ears feel good.Love your videos wish they had you on greys anatomy seasons
I always learn something when watching your videos! Someone I know is on the top of the list for a kidney transplant but they are still waiting. Says it could be any day but who really knows when any day is. Happy Easter!
This is literally your BEST video ever! I love when you geek out and give us all of this cool info! Had NO idea that they leave the old kidney in the body after a transplant! Why do they do this? Why not just remove it? Very interesting. Also love when you explain the problem and what you’re going use to correct it. You’re the BEST! I hope you always do videos, no matter how famous you get :)
Really a disclaimer.. come on now lol your not giving medical advice. Your giving a good education information & look at the life of a doctor and your perspective on Medicean and your sharing an amazing videos on the health in general. Love all that you do .
Tony Especially in the health/medical field, disclaimers are required by law. There's even a disclaimer on cigarette packs. Every patient is different, in some way. There can be two or more patients with the same (type of) issue, but they have different things done and/or have different results. In October '15 I found out I have heart block and ended up with a pacemaker. They could've recommended a heart transplant, but it's not really necessary as heart block isn't something that a transplant is particularly necessary (although I could get one). Siobhan, I appreciate the disclaimer. It's the smart thing to do.
I clicked on this so fast!!! I love all of your videos!!! You are so awesome great video!!!! ❤️ ♥️ 💜 Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the likes this is way more than I ever get!!
I LOVE your videos. I think it's amazing that you do these videos. They're entertaining to me so much! I'm hoping to start my journey to get into nursing school soon. This is all fascinating to me.
I love how you explain cases, it helps me actualy learn something from your vids. i recomend going even deeper in what you experience through your shifts and explain what you have to treat and how.
I love your vlogs so much, Siobhan! You manage to keep it informative, but not boring. Educational, but not too scientific. I love the way you edit your vlogs and your work ethic that shines through. Been watching you since 40k subscribers, and will be here until 4 million! Much love from Indonesia💕
So this may go unread but still wanted to express how much I appreciate what you do: I'm sure you, like any other person, do have your down days but the optimism you hold comes right through! I am a 19 y/o who has conditions that require regular hospital trips (and it's always been like that - in fine on the whole tho haha) and what I can is that a smile and the glimmer of hope that can give with a few optimistic words can do what sometimes even medicine cannot do! I've been treated by not so optimistic medics too in the past (although lucky not as often) and so I really appreciate how med staff like you show that glimmer of hope, where there otherwise may not even be, and that too when you yourselves work so incredibly hard!!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share and write this - very touching and really reminds me that I always want to portray that level of hope and positivity to my patients moving forward. thank you!
I can’t get over how positive you are with your smile and voice. Your Chanel is wonderful to watch, I never knew I would like this stuff but I realized if you are watching the right person you can enjoy something you might not usually enjoy. This is a great learning experience, and overall an amazing Chanel❤️
Thank you Dr. Siobhan for introducing about Kidney Transplant. Many people have serious kidney diseases and they are getting worse if they didn't take proper medicines. Thank you Siobhan for informing about good medical treatment for kidney disease and Pneumonia
These videos are so cool and I really look forward to them. I work in a hospital myself but non clinical so it's really interesting to get a closer look into the doctors world.
Do you ever get anxiety waiting for your pager to go off? I know for myself, I wouldn’t be able to sleep.. I’d be so anxious anticipating another page! (I’ve learned watching these videos that we live in the same city, super cool!)
I love your videos I think you’re a remarkable person and physician. Your dedication to the patients and community you serve is very heartwarming. And to find the time to edit and make these videos and share a part of your life to the world is absolutely encouraging and inspiring.
I've watched your videos for quite awhile now... lately the stories you have had sounded quite familiar. Turns out I index your hospital records.. those 38 pages you took would be the reason I was so busy last week! Lol I have some medical training and find your videos so informative and interesting. Your dedication to uploading and the insane shifts you work is pretty inspiring as well. Love from a local
I’ve been watching you since I was a student nurse, and now I’m 6 months in as an RN in an acute renal ward, we we have transplants and HD continuously, among other acutely unwell CKD,AKI patients.. I was very excited to see this video. Renal is so diverse and interesting 🥰
Hospitals and Doctors mostly we see during medical problems and its a hard time. But your polite attitude and nice way of talking makes it so pleasant,, I have realised that the right polite attitude makes things go much smoother. keep it up. this is a reason i watch ur videos,
Thank you for walking through your thought process with the high potassium as a nursing student it's always nice to see the thought process behind a decision
I knew all the transplant trivia cause I got one at 10 months old. Fun fact: mine were removed so I only have one, and it's been up and running for 18 years now. I have a special appreciation for what you do.
I had a kidney transplant from my favourite teacher Amanda! It took me a while to recover but Amanda (still today) is with me every step of the way from school to meditation to hospital addmitions to all the other stuff! And as usual Amanda sometimes had to be there when facing my biggest fear almost every day (needles 💉) but itz part of my daily meditation and it has to be done!
