Join me as I spend the day shadowing two social workers in a busy emergency department! As a doctor, I work closely with social workers, and yet there are many parts of their job that I've never experienced. I love seeing the health care system through a different perspective, and I hope you do too! We talk about homelessness, palliative care and then role of social workers during code blue medical emergencies!
HUGE THANK YOU to Michelle, Suzanne and the entire medical team in the emergency department for making this video possible.

@katibarrett8779 2 года назад

Comment from a social worker in the US, on dealing with challenging situations etc: The biggest, and hardest lesson is to not take ANYTHING personally. That means having an invisible plexiglass shield between me and other folks. When they sling verbal barbs, it slides off the shield. It means not owning someone else's challenges OR successes. They get to own those, my job is to offer support in accessing services; to recognize their humanity and autonomy; to treat them with dignity and respect; and to let go of control of the outcome. When things go wrong, yes, it's difficult, but it's not MY fault. It also means, when things go well, it's beautiful, but it's not my success. It's theirs.

This is super important! I’m a therapist in community mental health and many times clients get upset because they have been failed by the system so many times, and because in the moment they have no other tools to cope so they react intensely. It doesn’t mean they’re bad people, it means that’s the best they can do right then and it isn’t the helpers fault the person reacted intense.

I got a master's of science in counseling and wish that this had been a large part of the curriculum. I was an academic advisor at a college, where I didn't really get to use my degree much, but I still really struggled with students and parents who saw it as my job to save them from learning painful lessons from their own mistakes. The fact that a mistake in course planning could add thousands of dollars also really added pressure. I struggled to maintain empathy while also not taking on the emotions around me. I ended up leaving the field because I just couldn't develop that shield.

THIS is what I want to do - create a collaborative education program that stresses the importance of the relationship between the various clinicians involved in care. I want to help build the teams before the teams even finish their practicum and residencies. It drives me crazy when new social workers and new physicians, nurses, aides, RT/OT/ST, don’t know how to maximize their multidisciplinary relationships because they are never taught the benefits and limitations of one another’s skillset. We should be able to hit the ground running in order to reduce wasted time and effort and the risk of sub-optimal outcomes. This video is an excellent example of the need the program I am working toward. I also REALLY appreciate you sharing this view of what we really do, it is VERY frustrating to constantly have to re-educate and pushback against outdated misconceptions about what we can and should do. THANK YOU!

where was the social worker when the emergency room DENIED me medical care? where's the social workers I NEEDED for the last 15 years as i've been neglected and abused by doctors, landlords, cops and lawyers? this system IS A LIE! it doesn't really exist. when a vast majority of americans in desperate need for help are denied help on a daily basis? the system is a SHAMBLES and it ain't getting any better. ITS GETTING WORSE! u. s. priorities are TRULY in the gutter. and people wonder why this country's going to hell? here's one reason right here! I NEED HELP! I CAN'T FUNCTION! and there's absolutely nowhere i can turn to for help! my fascist country has abandoned me and MILLIONS of other americans in need!

Liver transplant Social Worker here! It’s so nice to see a physician learning about and shadowing interdisciplinary partners in the hospital. Unfortunately it’s often the case doctors and nurses don’t quite understand our scope and role and frequently expect us to wave a magic wand and “fix” a patient’s situation or “force” them to enter treatment etc. Communication and mutual respect are so needed to bring patients the best quality of care

Usually you’ll want to know what type of settings you’re interested in so that you can be placed in one during your masters program’s field practicum.

I'm a social worker in acute psychiatry (addiction and mental health) in a Canadian hospital. It is hard enough as it is to get community supports for our patients (especially given our prolonged cold winters, shortage of shelters and budget shortfalls), but with the Covid crisis we are having to make harder than usual decisions in discharge planning. Our work is complex and yes, often heartbreaking. Many hospitals require ICU, Emergency and mental health and addiction social workers to have graduate degrees, so the process of qualifying (degrees, licensure and registration) for our profession takes many years..

I love this shadowing series! I would love to see you shadow someone who works in the laboratory, since that’s the area of medicine I’m currently studying to go into! 😊

I love this video, I love that you get to shadow all these different roles and show people all the incredible work they all do. I’m currently getting a masters in social work!

Thank you so much for sharing the work of a social worker in a hospital. I was thinking about going into social work and this video answered lots of questions I had. Thanks again, love your videos ❤️

This is SUCH a great video, so informative, it definitely highlights the nuances of social work and all of the considerations that SWs have to make when dealing with individual psychosocial circumstances. Thank you so much for this content! I am starting a MSW practicum in a couple of months and this is incredibly helpful.

Hi Siobhan! Thank you so much for your videos, I'm really enjoying this series where you show what other health professionals do, I think it is critical for future doctors to understand the roles of the rest of the team and value their work.

As someone training to be a social worker (3rd year BSW student) this was a video I was waiting on for a while!! I hope to be an ER social worker in Hamilton at some point in my career. I love getting to help people and advocating for their needs, and “make it happen” is extremely accurate to what we have to do. Sometimes in this field we need to get very creative in order to meet our clients at their level. Thank you for this video❤️

I’m a hospital social worker in the US and loved seeing this! We matter too! 🥰❤️

I’m a hospital chaplain resident working daily with the palliative care team and social workers. We are all constantly on the go helping patients, their families, and staff. Social workers do so much and act as a liaison between the hospital and local resources. Thanks for this video.

Student here! I love seeing these different roles that all contribute equally to delivering quality healthcare! I haven't had much exposure and am learning so much from your videos!

Social workers are amazing people. When my very premature babies were in the NICU, that was far from where we lived; they helped us find hospitality houses to stay in so we weren’t away from our babies. They accompanied us to in hospital emotional support groups, gave knitted beanies to our babies, made sure we were fed, and just asked how our day was going. Such a wide scope of patients and families they serve, and I will be forever thankful for the sweet angles that helped us. 💗

I have watched every single video of yours. This one for me was one of the most important I’ve seen. I’d love for you to post more for mental health and get more awareness out there

@DerKritiker2302 2 года назад

this is an amazing video! Thank you for showing us around behind the scenes and the many different departments of healthcare system. I'm a volunteer paramedic in Austria's capital city Vienna and at the beginning of my time in service i was kind of struggeling how to get in contact or how to communicate with persons with mental health issues. But this is getting better and better the more people I talk to. It's also kind of hard when you get called out to a homeless person wich suffers from for example alcohol addiction, you offer them help, reach out your hand and get a really aggressive answer that they don't want to go to hospital or don't want help. But that's the thing: In vienna fortunately we have lots of institutions wich offer great help, but we can't force someone to get this help. And that's one of the hardest thing for me to cope with. To see the help right in front of them, but they didn't take the chance to improve their situation... Anyway, thank you for your amazing videos! 🙂

Thank you so much for bringing light to such an important profession within the hospital! I am completing my MSW placement at a hospital and it is so hard to see the systemic issues that we have here in Canada. COVID-19 and the housing crisis have really tied our hands in regards to what we can do for our patients.

@tabithaguthrie6394 Год назад

I love this! Finally someone showing what we deal with daily, all day long. And this is just one patient. Our caseloads can be up to 30 patients in an 8 hour day! We are burning out.

Love these videos! Kudos to Michelle with dealing with that tough patient! Stay safe Siobhan!

@winniethebish2893 2 года назад

I love your videos so much! I love how you reach other to a variety of health care professions to branch your understanding of each discipline. I’m going to graduate with my master’s in occupational therapy this May so these videos provide great insight for me for future collaboration and communication with MDs. I would love to see your perspective and future shadows of others on the healthcare team such as dietitians, spiritual carers, speech language pathologists, recreational therapists, and other supporting essential staff such as CNAs and techs. Thank you for all that you do, Siobhan!

This was very interesting. You are lucky to have such great people there to help. We don't often think of all of the behind the scenes people that contribute to the overall wellness of society. Thank you.
