DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOCTOR: EMERGENCY INTUBATION (Intensive Care Unit) 

It’s amazing that you’re allowed to film in the hospital! My hospital made it clear that I’d get into big trouble if I did! Amazing video as always

You have the best doctor vlogs on RU-vid. They’re always so exciting and interesting and you always teach us something 😄

i love her positivity, enthusiasm and happiness. in a place where you have a lot of sick people around you and they’re probably stressed and worried about what’s going on with their health, you have to know how to manage to be on that mood to pass this feeling to the patients. i wish all the success!

Must feel good saying " second year " now!

The Asian girl at 5:30 is SO PRETTY omg. She looked so effortlessly cool in the minutes before too. Goals.

Watching your channel lowers my anxiety about seeing my doctor. I realize that his demeanor is probably due to stress sometimes, and seeing all the things you need to deal with makes me empathize with doctors more. I think we should all make it a point to say thank you to our doctors.

It’s so weird hearing you say second year resident lol. Super proud of how well you’re thriving!!

Your videos always encourage me...I am a medical aspirant and want to become a doctor..

I spent something like 22 days in ICU last year after a traumatic brain injury and it was there I seen all the crazy medical instruments and all the drs and nurses and “residents” as I guess they’re called! My family was told I would most likely remember nothing of the ICU since the injury was so severe, but once I woke up on day 18 I was pretty much good! And that’s where my love and passion for the medical field started, with the severity of my tbi and facial surgeries a got to under go a lot of really interesting medical procedures and was able to talk to all of my drs and surgeons about each surgery, something I was completely taken by, how great I was treated and and how freaking awesome a good surgeon/nurse is! The surgeons to me did the cooler stuff but the nurses kept me comfortable and sane all while providing top medical care tending to my many incisions/ wounds, keeping me clean and fed while I was unable to move, sometimes actually running around the clock to keep my IV’s flowing with the meds I needed to survive (something my mother will never forget, watching a nurse run basically her entire shift, trying to keep up with my IV bags, as I had (8?) going at once so as soon as soon as she would get back with the meds another bag would run out and she would be off again!) so since I was coming back to consciousness I quickly caught on to how hard these people were working to treat me and like I said before I was completely taken by these actions of others, so much so that I’m proud to say, for one, that I’m even able to write this! And then two, I have completed nursing assistant classes and I will be starting my career in the medical field hopefully within this month! I plan to work as a CNA for a year or so to get my “footing” for what I’m doing, and then I plan on going back to school to become a RN, or maybe a trauma surgeon of some type? Idk I still have a lot to learn and plenty of time to do that, and I’m taking my second chance at life to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do and also become the best version of myself, something I wish I did the first time around but I’m grateful every day that I’m here, and knowing that just 9 months ago I was having my final arrangements planned out for the worst case scenario, makes even life’s lowest lows just a little bit easier for me to handle! Since I feel like “I’m not even supposed to be here, so I’m just happy to be experiencing anything really” thank you for posting this video it was a such a great reminder of my time at my beloved hospital and it also helped me get a better shot of what actually went down while I was sleeping and coughing out my breathing tubes! Lol thank you @violinMD ❤️

What an incredibly positive and uplifting video. I am a violist, and have a dad with a severe condition in the hospital and I am learning much about the way things work.

Dont ever lose your comforting down to earth bedside manner.your personality is very welcoming.so refreshing yet becoming more uncommon among a lot of doctors.thank you for all you do!

I am a student dietitian in Australia and will be beginning my icu rotation in a few weeks, I found this super interesting - thanks!

I would really like to say thank you to you for making these videos, because I found them a few months ago and watched them for fun. But more recently I ended up being taken to hospital in an ambulance and stayed in hospital for over two weeks, and having already watched videos about doctors in hospitals it made me more understanding and feel more comfortable whilst being quite unwell. So I thank you so much

I LOVE HOW YOUR ENTHUSIASM IS SO REAL AND IT REACHES OUT TO US! KEEP IT UP! I LOVE YOUUUUUU

She is just so likeable, the happiest doctor I have ever seen

Love that more people from your team are being introduced in your videos lately! It really gives a great perspective of how you all work together to help the patient! It would be great to see/feature more of them like the pharmacists, nurses, technicians, etc. Great work!! ♥️

I love how passionate she speaks about medicine. She's totally meant to be doctor !

I admire how positive and upbeat you are.

You are a treasure to healthcare. Your attitude is contagious. I work CV ICU and personalities affect patients even when we don't realize it. You keep doing what you're doing and you'll grow more and more as a practioner

I can’t believe I was expecting to see her actually intubate a patient.. I forgot this is not greys anatomy” 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

I know this really isn’t your usual content but I would love to see what your days off, look like! You don’t seem to get many(or at least we always see you working) so I would love to see what errands you run. If you’re able to visit with friends or if they just consist of studying up! Love your video and your positivity!

Heyyyyyy, as always amazing video!! I got so exited when you said " second year" that's awesome. I'm actually an EMT and its nice to see what happens to a patient after being treated in the field by EMS personnel and see medical treatment from a different point of view. Thanks for the videos!

I have been in the ICU for 10 months. I have appendicitis, dance and a baby in my stomach! I have been intubated multiple time and I am curly on life support. I have also been the one to have a code blue. I have had heart surgery to, during my 10 months. I have had many other surgeries too, during this time. One of the surgeries has been to remove my appendix, which is when it burst. So now I also have blood poising. I have cancer, and can not get the treatment I need as I am pregnant. I am on many medications and I have many, many tubes in me. Most of the medications I am on I am allergic to, but I have to be on them or I will die. One like will wish me and my baby to get out of the ICU quickly!

Thank you so much for making these, I am a nurse-midwife student from finland, going into my surgery placement. I appreciate these so much as I tend to be very nervous around anything new and your videos normalize the situation for me, so I can actually behave in the way that is required of me instead of panicing in the corner having a vasovagal episode. Thank you so much again and please keep making content

Your channel is by far my favorite medical channel on RU-vid. As a new nurse, your videos help me so much!

currently my biggest inspiration to becoming a Doctor myself. so proud to see how far you've come, getting excited to see you every week all over! x

This was very difficult for me to watch. 2 years ago I developed very severe OHSS from an IVF cycle. I was in the ICU for 2 weeks, I went into kidney failure, I had 27L of fluid drained from my abdomen, both lungs and from around my heart. I’m forever thankful for the team of nurses and doctors that worked round the clock to keep me alive. It was the scariest time in my life, but also for my family that had to watch me so ill. I pray for everyone in the ICU, their families and the team that care for them. Thank you.

RN here and let met tell you being in ICU is the best, the thrill in ICU is nothing as to compare to other departments. I love your videos Doc! 🙌 and your personality is so pleasing!

I just came home from work in my Icu but watching this still made me smile. Icu is where it’s at! ☺️

Ever since my mom went to the ER (she's ok now, but she might need surgery), I've been interested in becoming a doctor, even though I'm terrified of blood/guts. Watching your videos has helped me gain a lot of insight on what you have to do, so thank you! I'll definitely consider becoming a doctor in the future.

Salute u guys! Good job to all the staff who doing their job well. I been worked in ICU within 4 yrs as staff nurse. God bless u guys

I love your vlogs!! You and your hospital seem really great!! I had an airway emergency a year and a half ago(double pneumonia that went into ARDS) and if not for the AMAZING care I recieved in the ICU I would not be here committing this. THANK YOU so very much for the care and compassion you have for your patients!!!

You are so positive and happy to watch. I was just in for day surgery yesterday and I can tell you: It makes a HUGE difference when the medical team is positive! Thank you for sharing your joy and hope with the world. I'm also a musician :)

Another great video! The Juravinski ICU is one of my favourite wards (it's very comfortable down there for patients)! Been down there a few times over the number of years. It can get pretty busy and pretty hectic in the iCU for sure. I'm glad you do these videos - its great to show others what it's like in the different wards and units at the Juravinski Hospital (my second home). It's also great to see some familiar faces! Thanks again for doing these videos.

This was hard to watch as my mum recently passed away in ICU from sepsis and MOF with pneumonia. So interesting to see how things work in the USA compared to the UK. I love your upbeat personality and how much you're allowed to share with us, that would never be allowed here 😳

You should do videos where you teach about certain medical problems with patients, I’m a nursing student and you little animations when you explain something makes so much sense to me!

I like and appreciate her positive attitude and her application of common sense and medicine 💊 patients have positive results too.

Really enjoyed this type of video, best one in my opinion. Thanks for the teams participation!

I get so excited when you say "second year.." 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖

I am going to college in a couple weeks going in as an intended business major and you make me want to become a doctor!! I have spent the last week binge watching all your vlogs and I can't stop!! Keep up the amazing work and keep up with the vlogs because they are so interesting. It is rare you see someone in this field also taking up on something as creative and fun as making videos!

I love watching your videos, I’m a nurse so it’s good to see the doctors side of their daily routines :)

I love your attitude & how your true amazing intentions shine through with everything. You’re an amazing doctor ❤️❤️❤️

Oh man, I love how many different specialities and perspectives (EDIT: "professions" is the word I'm looking for...) you folks include in your ICU rounds. Pharmacists on a hospital ward are still a rare sight in my country and I doubt that the university hospital I'm studying at has enough dietitians on staff to regularly send them on rounds. I really hope that this will change in the future - even as a medical student I already notice how easy it is to just focus on the aspects of medical care you're familiar with, while totally loosing sight of the many other important parts.

I've recently applied to nursing school and I've been watching your channel for a few months now. I hope that I have the privilege to work with doctors that have the outlook that you do.

I am a new grad RN working on a neuro tele Unit, and it is very interesting for me to see pt care from the perspective of a resident MD. Thank you for your vlogs!

just finished my first year of Occupational Therapy at Mac 😊 i’ve watched every one of your videos as I recover from getting 4 wisdom teeth removed. Your warmth and compassion shine through in each video (it’s captivating) I can’t wait to watch you grow xo

As a paramedic it’s so fun to see how doctors are trained in intubation. Love you and your videos ❤️

i've always wanted to become a nurse since i was little. and you inspire me so much! every day i'm always looking forward to your videos. you are very very inspiring💓 one of my favorite you tubers:)💛💛💛

You are so awesome😊 I love your videos so much. I am a 13 year old girl who dreams to be a general surgeon when I grow up. Your videos help me visualize what it’s really like working in a hospital. Thankyou so much😊

Omg I fell in love with you the first video I saw. I’ve always wanted to work in a hospital because I’ve looked up to most of my family who worked in hospitals either as nurses or doctors etc. it’s amazing to see someone who shares what being a doctor is like and the different scenarios that you may occur. It’s also fun to see that you play the violin which I also play and I’m getting ok at it. In my high school there are different classes you can take based off what you want to do. There is actually lots of courses where you can go into nursing/doctoring. I know I need to do more research about which kind of doctor I want to be but I think it’s pretty cool that you do this.

It’s crazy to think that the first time I watched your videos, you were at 40,000 subscribers and now you have over 100,000. My heart is so full knowing your gaining the recognition you deserve. Your content are always so interesting and very educational ❤️❤️❤️

I recently discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching! I’m fascinated by hospitals and the medical field but am much too weak stomached to actually be involved in it. Your videos are very informative and entertaining for a little look inside without being gross to people like me. Thank you!

So I very recently found your Channel and right now I have watched about 4 to 5 videos consecutively of yours, I clicked the home youtube button because I thought I had seen enough at least for now and then another one of your videos pops up in the home screen and I clicked it and here I am again, for some reason I can't stop watching your videos they are super interesting!

I loved hearing you say “2nd year!” So exciting! I’ve been binge watching your videos the past few hours.. it’s so interesting to me. I’ve been so interested in the medical field but I got pregnant when I was 20.. I was a single mom and wasn’t able to get into school and now that I’m 27 I feel like any job in the medical field is almost impossible for me. But it’s awesome watching your journey!

Whenever I watch your videos, for some reason, it reignites my desire to go to med school. I'm currently in undergrad working on pre-reqs and it gets very tough and it's easy to get discouraged but your videos are always so interesting it helps remind me why I want to do it so thanks

This is a fantastic blog! As a firefighter, it's great to see what happens when we hand a patient off at the hospital. Keep up the great work!

I totally love your videos. Ive always wanted to be a doctor and you just really inspire me!

Hi Siobhan! I just started residency in Psychiatry at Dalhousie! Wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying your videos :) I'll be starting MTU soon and will definitely try to channel some of your positive energy when I join that service!

I absolutely love your videos. They make me that much more excited for residency and med school! Thanks for sharing your experiences to inspire people like me to enter the medical field!

Your energy makes me so happy! It’s very enjoyable to watch your videos.

I just found your channel within the last 24 hours and absolutely love it! I used to watch all sorts of medical shows on TV when I had cable. This seems like one of those amazing medical shows that I used to watch! You're very good at explaining everything. It's all very interesting.

Fyi... I found your vlog a few days ago, and have been beng watching ever since! It's so nice to see how happy you are and how much you enjoy your chosen car career. Congrats on finishing your 3rd year and heading to rheumatology!

You and your team seem WAY more competent than most doctors of any age at the local hospitals in my city.... where do you hail from??? I love your videos

Love your videos so much. I have anxiety around the medical field, and your videos help ease that. I am also so appreciative of the wonderful people around also willing to share.

Hey, I'm a brand new subscriber. I love Your channel. I recognize everywhere that You walk around. I just Love St. Joes and everyone that works there. I'v been there many times and once for months with necrotizing fascitis. I really feel that I wouldn't be alive today without Your staff. I get so emotional evertime I just drive by. Bless You and everyone that toils there out of the kindness of there hearts. ❤❤❤

I’m usually not the type of person to watch this hospital stuff, but for some reason I really like your videos!! You have some cool videos and I really like them😁😁👍🏻

These are always super interesting because I️ am just going into high school and I️ have always wondered what it would be like to be a doctor! These are super helpful!!

You are such an inspiration to me! I hope to be a doctor someday and be like you when I’m older. Keep doing what you’re doing, your patients are so lucky to have you!❤️

Only found your page last few days and it’s wicked! Absolutely love the insight into our word. X

So glad you mentioned the pharmacist on rounds! When available, do pharmacists also attend codes and intubations at your hospital? I’m a pharmacy student on my critical care rotation (first rotation ever!) and I’ve attended several with my preceptor! Many people aren’t aware of the pharmacist role on the health care team!

Oh man, this video brings back so many flashbacks to when my daughter was in NICU.

Seriously obsessed with your channel. You are an amazing doctor.

i love the videos. and how in all the videos i have seen your allways seem really happy and smiley. keep them going.

I’m not studying medicine but your videos are truly intriguing and so great to learn from, even though it’s not the path I’m taking. Thank you for making great quality videos! P.S you genuinely sound like such a kind person... I’m sure your patients are lucky to have you as their doctor!

I love how you explain things. Like break things down.

I always love your videos! I am a hospitalist NP and find it educational and entertaining!

I'm studying for the MCAT right now and your videos definitely help me stay motivated!!! Thanks for giving us the insider's perspective :D

I was getting anxious studying for my driving test but ur videos always lift my spirit!! 💛💛💛💛

Thanks for sharing Siobhan - so much respect for you and your team!

I really love your videos. Like I’m not really interested in going into the medical field and tbh medicine kind of freaks me out, but your videos make medicine and everything so interesting! ❤️

love the dramatic music during the emergency intubation prep! and so cool to get a chance to see the team and get a sense of what it is really like. super job as usual :)

Pretty cool video. I will be having a cardiac catheterization to put a new heart valve in which I was born without a pumpulary valve. It is scheduled for April 6th. Don't need to worry about the ventilator at all. Will be in the ICU as well at Children's Hospital in Detroit Mi USA.

I love watching these. She's so charistmatic and so beautiful. I'm studying arts and humanities but this is just so interesting to me. Love this channel

The tubing that she got from the cabinet at 4:30 is a Salem sump tube used for gastric drainage. Other supplies that she got also was a BD 60-ml catheter tip syringe, lubricating jelly, and adhesive tape (to secure the tube).

Absolutely OBSESSED with your videos. Love it! Keep up the good work, you're awesome. Makes me fall in love with medicine all over again. This is super inspiring and motivational! You're great 😊😊

In the US, the bedside nurses are the ones trained on insertion of enteral tubes (both drainage ones like shown in the video, and those that enter the duodenum and are used to provide nutrition). Interesting to see a physician excited about probing the alimentary tract.

it’s cool that you learned about a lung ultrasound in the morning, then have to do the procedure later.

You have THE best doctor vlogs! You actually shows us inside which is awesome and super informative. I loved seeing the team you work with and what being a doctor is actually like! Keep up the great work :)

I am actually super excited to follow your practice in Canada! I am an acute care rehab professional in the US currently but transferring up to Canada soon. I am eager to see the similarities and differences between the two systems. I recognize a lot of the basics are the same which is super reassuring. I love your education, as well. I feel like I learn something new each time you post!

Whenever I just need someone to watch I always come back too you

You are amazing person. You have inspired me to have a career somewhere in the medical field. Thanks to you I have gotten interested in medical procedures, diseases, x-rays plus much more. I just wanted to say thank you for making your videos and saving lives everyday. See ya the next time you upload.

Watching this at the end of a 18 hrs shift of doing mostly skunt work. Thank you for the vid!!!

It's great to see more of the other doctors and nurses you get to work with :)

You have such a great upbeat attitude!! I bet it’s great to work with you.

I love these behind the scenes kind of thing to see how and what your doing to help the patient, it's really cool x

Wow the pressure intense thanks for all you do!

I hope you're safe in the Toronto area, I didn't think that kind of thing happened in Canada! On another note; It's great seeing a more confident swagger now that you're a second year.

You and doctor mike are my favorite!

You are now a second year that is so cool. By the way you are helping me for showing that the Medical field is alot of work but it is exciting. Is being a doctor as fun as you make it sound?

I think it is insanely awesome you are allowed to film so much and give such an incredible insight into your daily life and what it actually entails being a healthcare practitioner. Thank you so much for these videos! They are so entertaining and enjoyable
