WEEK AS A DOCTOR IN CLINIC: How Many Hours? (Medical Resident Vlog) 

I've been binge watching your videos. They are very informative. I now understand what a doctor does in a day and maybe why they might take some time before they are able to attend to you especially in hospital.

Anyone else here to bingewatch all the videos? They are really informative, and you seem like such a nice person

How does being a doctor and working so much affect your personal life. Relationship,family? Love your videos :) keep up the great work.

You seem SO pleasant! I wish you were my doctor*

I smiled when you said lupus. I was diagnosed at the age of 11 and is often overlooked and not taken seriously.

"i love this book" *pulls out textbook*

You can tell your a doctor because you explain stuff really well and good for you, how are you not tried 😂😂 you doctors don't get paid enough

I’m a 35-year-old American female with Crohn’s Disease and Degenerative Disc Disease. In all my years as both a patient and a certified nurse technician, you are by far the most personable and relatable physician I’ve known of. You bring a friendliness and approachability to medicine, and I admire you greatly. So happy to hear of your recent RU-vid success. xoxo - Lindsey

Hey Siobhan! you seem to be the coolest Resident Doctor! I just wanna be friends with you !!! :)

You are a great doctor. So positive and energetic. I'm sure patients love you! Keep up the great work!

Love your videos Siobhan! I’m currently in my second year of nursing school and have been looking into medical school for just over a year now. School is hard work but your positive outlook is such a game changer. You’re so inspiring!

Hello Siobhan. I think that you playing violin is a great medicine to relieve stress on a stressful day or hard times, and when i listened to it, it cools down like it's magic. Plus you're beautiful as well. Thank you very much and God Bless!

Hi Doc!! Im an aspiring physician university student here and I definitely consider medicine to be my calling. I wanted to ask you how do you suggest about shadowing physicians in Canada? I have tried to reach out but all I have heard back is that there are serious laws regarding patient confidentiality in Canada which means that the isn't a thriving culture of non medical students that shadow physicians as compared to the States. Thank you and I absolutely love the fact that you are soo patient orientated and compassionate!

Spoiler alert: she actually becomes a rheumatologist

Your cheerful demeanor really shines through in these videos. Love it!

I'm going to school for nursing but watching your videos make me so interested in the life as a doctor! MAYBE ONE DAY I'll look into Nurse Practitioner haha. I enjoy your videos! Love your positivity!

I'm studying psychology (my last year this year) and I love your video. So real and interesting!!!

I absolutely adore your channel! I was looking around for some youtubers who are also doctors or in medical school as I'm interested in that (I'm a high school senior) and I fell in love with your channel! You provide so much useful facts and information with such a good amount of humor and your bright personality also shines through! Love it :)

three years later, everyone knows what Hydroxychloroquine is. Love Voilin MD and very awesome to re-watch your early videos after finding out you got your dream job as a rheumatologist

I honestly love your channel so much. I am wanting to be a future med student next year . And watching your videos makes me so exited to become a doctor . Your such a lovely person and I know you will be such an amazing doctor when your finished with your studying .

I’m a senior in high school and everything about medicine is so fascinating to me! I’m kind of unsure of how I’m gonna make it to med school but watching your videos makes me so excited for the future !

I love seeing the medical field from a resident point of view especially from a fellow Canadian. My daughter has one of those rare auto immune diseases and as our doctors are in a teaching hospital (for med school at Dal) we get to meet lots of residents as she is pretty rare!

It's great that your able to show all this!!

You are such a delight to listen to ! Thank you for taking such care into others

Your channel is doing so well!! Congrats girl!

Hepatology for the win! I have Autoimmune Hepatitis, I was wondering why the some of the Hospital shots looked familiar. Till I saw you go down a hall and I went, wait! I walked that hall for 12 days... The GI clinic with the fibro scan is pretty. the fibrosis/cirrhosis poster is the best though, the illustration of the decompensated liver looks like it’s screaming. I love watching your videos!

A fellow Ontarian!! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I love it! I'm severely ill - so I spend a lot of my time in hospitals and clinics. I always get the patients view of everything but never the physicians aspect. My best friend is head of Gynaecology so I hear the stories but it's really neat seeing it through a doctors eyes. Love what you're doing!

I randomly came across your channel and have been catching up on your videos. You are seriously a breath of fresh air! Love your dedication and positivity! 😊

Hello from Italy! 🇮🇹 I’ve recently discovered your channel and I love it! I have a lot of different health issues (asthma, allergies, Sjögren’s syndrome, fibromyalgia and Raynaud’s) so I enjoy seeing your vlogs! They give me a glimpse of what is like to be a doctor 👨‍⚕️ and of all the hard work you do on a daily basis. Thank you for vlogging your weeks!

So amazing to see another side of a docs life. Work directly with a lot of them being a nurse in Ontario. ...would love to work with someone like you.. Just so you know..you are superb.. Enjoy watching your vlogs...

I´m a last year med student in Costa Rica aspiring to a US residency. Your vlogs keep me motivated and excited for the journey ahead. Thank you!

I love your videos. It’s nice to see you walk around the different areas of the hospital.

You are such an inspiration! Your passion and dedication for your work is truly contagious.

I love that you're so motivated! I'm a first year medical student from Germany and you're exactly where i want to be in a couple of years ❤️ it's so interesting to watch your vlogs!

Am I the only one who is rather impressed by how humble she is! She inspires me so much!

I do love these videos. You are a pleasure to watch. Your enthusiasm is so refreshing, as is your upbeat recap of your day in the life. I would be fortunate to have you as my physician.

I’ve just started to watch you videos and been watched some videos today. I wish this was still around when Papa Moises my grandfather was alive. I learned a lot by being a child who translated for him at the hospital and in the emergency department. I wouldn’t be able to do what you do because I can’t really deal with so much blood. My grandparents have been in and out of the hospital since I was little, I’ve administered needles of blood thinners and gone through medical histories. I admire what you do.

You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Your positivity is infectious. I would love for you to be my doctor. All the best with your career... you’ll definitely go places!!

Hi Siobhan! I’m a new subscriber and I️ absolutely love your channel! I’ve seen that most of the people who watch are med students and I’m probably the opposite of that. I️ have a chronic autoimmune disease, ulcerative colitis (it was on one of the posters in your first office). I’ve spent countless hours in doctor’s offices and have been hospitalized too many times to count. I️ had my colon removed in 2015 and lived with a temporary ileostomy for over a year. I️ know what a hospital is like through the perspective of a patient, but I️ really like seeing it through the eyes of a doctor! It can can get incredibly frustrating having to sit in waiting rooms, wait on doctor’s to come in & talk to you or change certain meds, or wonder when you’re going to get discharged. I️ always try my best to be empathetic to the nurses and doctors, because I️ know I’m not the the only person they are taking care of. Your videos offer so much insight! You seem like such a kind hearted, positive, and knowledgeable person. I’m sure the patients love you

Just discovered your channel & I’ve been binging! I’m in nursing school right now & I just love watching your videos because I always wonder what typical med students do! :)

I am so glad I've found this channel. I'm a high school teacher, and aside from watching Gray's Anatomy (which obviously has nothing to do with real life), I have NOTHING to do with the health industry, but I am FASCINATED by your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your profession and life with us! :-)

I love watching your videos! I want to study medicine when I graduate high school, and you are so inspiring❤️

Siobhan, how do you always look so amazing!?!?! Great video as always, I love this day in the life/week series!

I seriously love that they have an entire book on rheumatoid arthritis! Taking I have it, it’s pretty cool to see books that are out there and stuff lol

This is so different to core medical training in the UK, so amazing to have exposure to all these specialities in just one week!

saw the indiana sweatshirt and i’m a freshman there doing premed! just found your videos tonight and i love your personality and overall positivity, super motivating!

your videos are inspiring and motivating for us as medical students👏🏼👌🏻

I found you a couple days ago subscribed and have my notifications on, I fell in love with your videos! Please post more 🙏🏼

Cardiology clinic: “saw some young patients with genetic changes,” YES! I have Long QT Syndrome and I am one of those young cardiology patients with an inherited arrhythmia. Thank you for saying this, people assume those living with heart disease/heart conditions are older, males, or have pre-existing medical conditions. I’m an 18 year old female, athlete and sciences student living with a heart condition, not what most people consider to be the typical cardiology patient. Thank you for shedding a brief moment of light on this 🙌🏼

I will now have more patience when waiting for a doctor. Depending on the severity, you guys could be swamped asap! Thank you for everything you do!

This is fascinating! I have RA so it was really cool seeing some behind the scenes of a rheumatology clinic!

I just love watching you! ☺️ Do you prefer working in clinics or the sort of fast paced, busy hospital life?

Love these videos, the medical side of things really interests me. You sound like such an amazing doctor

Recently discovered your channel, excellent stuff!! I’m also a medic RU-vidr

I love the spongebob transitions. So iconic.

Is your favorite color purple? 😊

The 2nd season was super good!

I’m a third year med student down in the states and I just finished my medicine rotation, good to see how different programs run!

These vlogs are my favourite!

My dad lived in Canada and this woman reminds me of somebody that took care of my father when he pass they were all so sweet and nice

Siobhan, I really liked hearing about your rheumatology clinic. My mom has R.A. and I was diagnosed with Lupus at 16. I'm 43 now and Lupus has not been kind to me. I've been on all the "fun" drugs, i.e. Prednisone, methotrexate, cytoxan, and currently doing CellCept again. I haven't been completely off prednisone since my first bout of pericarditis at age 16. I have taken plaquenil since then also. Throughout the years I've been on a host of NSAID's. Prednisone has not been kind to me resulting in avascular necrosis, obesity, steroid induced diabetes, and all that joy. Cytoxan made me infertile at 28 (IV doses), but we adopted and couldn't be happier! I'm saying all this bc it was cool to see you doing a clinic and hear you mention Lupus. Have you ever considered becoming a rheumatologist? I have been seeing the same one since I was first diagnosed. She had 1 small daughter when I first met her. Now her youngest kids, twin boys, are in college. The "small" daughter is all grown up and married, and her next youngest daughter is out of school and working. Meanwhile I'm now the mom with an almost teenager on my hands. It's amazing the relationship you develop when you have the same doctor for so long. We keep it professional, but we have a true love for one another. That might not be what you want out of being a doctor. But I guess that is part of residency, figuring out more of what you want, and as you put it, "shaping your future." Your vlogs are great! I've subscribed and have been watching your past vlogs and catching up. Good luck! -Diane in Tampa, FL

Nooooooo I ran out of your videos!! Love your personality. Looking forward to your next video.

You are very dedicated ! Great job. Love the videos ❤

I LOVE STRANGER THINGS AND I FINISHED THE SEASON WITH MY PARENTS TODAY

Awesome vlogs! Stranger Things is such an amazing show. I love your vlogs because they show that doctors are regular people, who have great tastes in TV shows. :)

I’ve been binge watching your videos lately and i just now realized i hadn’t subscribed yet! I went to a cadaver lab today and thought of your videos hahah

you are such an inspiration! I so appreciate your honest videos of medical school and residency. Have you thought of wanting to have child or children? I know as a resident you don't have as much free time, but do you have any plans after residency to start a family? As a woman, I am trying to figure out how female doctors balance work and family life. Love your videos!

@Violin MD, I have a question. As a doctor, I can see that the work you do is quite demanding. Running around in an emergency, you have to have clear mind to think through possibilities quickly, you have to be calm under pressure and also be able to handle a lot of responsibilities. So, are medical students and doctors are just healthier in general than most populations? For example, I have brain fog frequently and tend be slow. I also have anxiety so cannot react well to intense situations. Is there a specialty in medicine for everyone? I am literally the opposite of who you are: bubbly, energetic and compassionate. I am more cold, calculating, anxious and prefer to not deal with people that much. I was in medical school when I was 18, but left voluntarily because I just felt not being able to handle any of that. I think it is a right decision. I now make computers bend to my will but always second guess my choice. I feel like I would be extremely good in medical research instead of working on people. I read a lot on medicine despite it not being my profession.I have some kind of draw back to this field but I am the kind of person who would be running experimental treatments and running clinical trials because this is what I am interested in. I have also met unconventional doctors who managed to find what was causing my problems, looked at me as a whole system instead of being deconstructed into parts by specialty and changed my life a lot. I know this is a lot of rambling but I appreciate if you see this.

your vids are so great to a fellow Ms2 studying for boards who doesn't know if there's an end to all of this!

I have literally watched 20 of your videos in a row! They are amazing!!! I have learned so many things about what a doctor does and I love how you are always so positive and energetic!

Hi, Siobhan! I love your vlog! It does my heart good to see such a sensible, happy person doing something she loves. Thank you so much!

I stumbled on your channel and I really love it! I like learning about everything you talk about and you actually live in my area so It's even more interesting because I go to the hospital you work at lol. It's so interesting to know what your work weeks are like I love your videos!

Your Videos are so inspiring! Love from Germany❤️

Absolutely love these videos !💓

Your videos are so fun! You have a great out look on everything, and it is very enjoyable to watch. Also, I love your bitmojis you add in!

I've always wanted to be a doctor when I grow up and the reason why is because you encourage me.🙂

You really got me thinking! I’ve been a teacher for a few years now but in the back of my mind I’ve always been intrigued by the medical field. Dream career would be pediatrician but Im still very intimidated by the schooling. I’m leaning towards nursing now but a lot of family and friends have been kinda discouraging me, due to how family oriented I am. They think the medical field won’t be flexible enough to raise children without external help. I really want to raise my own babies so I’m torn.. stay a teacher so I can have the flexible school schedule in the future or pursue medical because I find career wise it be more rewarding? Maybe you can make a video on this topic? Where or when do you see yourself settling down and if so how can a medical career be flexible when raising a family?

Lol I only knew what M&M was because of greys anatomy! I love your videos. I look forward to them.

Omg I love you... why am I addicted to these videos when I’m in a completely different major😂

Hi, I came across your vlogs today and been binge watching them. I have a condition called Turner syndrome. I’m sure your aware it’s a very rare condition. If you ever want to study or want some information on it let me know :) x

Hey! I'm a 3rd year resident from Spain. It's interesting to see similarities and differences between your program and ours. We also have 26h call shifts. I was wondering during your clinics are you supervised by an attending while the patients is with you? At my training program, during our first and second year we are supervised more but by third year we have our own clinics.

I'm a nurse. and I would really appreciate if all the doctors will be as positive as you

Thank you for these great videos! Super positive and super awesome

You’re a ray of sunshine. I aspire to be as positive as you are!

Omg love the “sponge bob” flair !!!!!

I love how you simplify things for us who don't have medical degrees lol. You're such a natural beauty, but wow you looked GORGEOUS at the end clip when you were all dressed up

I love how motivated and positive you are! New to your channel and I love how you explain everything!

Your videos are always so well done ❤️

awwww siobhan, look at how much you've grown! congrats on year three!

Repping that IU hoodie! Woot!

I feel bad that your schedules so crazy, why are doctors on call? and just not scheduled enough doctors...that would eliminate doctor exhauation. Is there not enough doctors?

Can you make a video on how to decide if med school/the medical field is right for you? I love your videos! :)

you have marvelous heart plus it is what a doctor must do...thank you for sharing all spectecular videos on here...

I love watching you. You seem so cool. Today I just finished my first month of pa school. 1/27 months down. And I’m just interested since I’ll be on the healthcare team in 2 years :) Ps. I also have crohns. Was diagnosed about 6 years ago at 21. I want to do a rotation in gi if I can and since I’m on medicines (been on remicade and cimzia and now on entyvio) I understand how meds are used for different things because I believe they can also be used for RA as well which is interesting.

How crazy time flys by😭😭😭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I ran into your channel yesterday at about 1AM pretty much binge watched your whole videos 😂😂 I just love how positive you are! Immediately subscribed after the 3rd video and now so happy there is a new one! 🙌🏻😂

Thanks for sharing !

i cant believe that when i found your channel you just had 2k subscribers and now 15k, you have a very high quality videos. Amazing work, keep it up! Love from Argentina c:

How do you deal with overnight shifts? I have my first overnight in the ED in a few weeks (working in clinical research!) and I'm so nervous!

Love the Indiana hoodie! Currently at IU for nursing and love your videos!
