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😘😘😘💋💋💋

[@LoftsNHomes1]

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.

[@dominofuel8050]

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.

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

[@TransplantHelper]

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.

[@DrAdnan]

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.

[@grapatin]

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.

As someone who's been through 2 rounds of end stage renal disease, 2 kidney transplants, been on dyalisis, and all of it, it's a little funny that I am saying "yup, yup, been there" whenever you're talking about the medications and blood tests.

[@sophiehutchins]

These people are so lucky to have you as a doctor. Only my GP/Primary care doctor is helpful. No one has ever done anything for me, not even when I was on the NICU at 6 months, and then on the ITU at 17 for the exact same reason (seizures, as a result of epilepsy!)... It’s great when you only get ‘treated’ for a condition or listened to over 10 years later!

My daughter now 34 was born with only 1 kidney, dx at age 4. We found out 3 months after her lung disease called primary Cilia dyskinesia . We live in Ottawa, she had a bronchoscopy done at CHEO, January 1990. She lived at hospital most of her first 4 yrs of life there due to severe asthma attacks, and fluid on her lungs. Then CF clinic took over her care with meds and chest therapy teaching us, her parents how to do her clapping and had a physiotherapist come into the home and then school as well. Now her lungs even tho scarred are doing ok, but the ears and sinuses are taking a beating. She has 4 kids, none of which have the disease.

You are my role model in medicine😍 I hope to be a doctor like you exactly👌🏻 You are really positive & active doctor💪🏻 I wish you all the best♥️✨

[@theshadowmaster4901]

I think the coolest thing about kidney transplants is that the organ starts working as soon as it gets connected to the bloodstream! It’s not like a heart where you’d have to remove the patient from a machine to test if the organ will work, or a liver where several tests are required post-op to monitor functionality. Kidneys just go to work as soon as they’re “plugged in”!

Hi Siobhan 👋 Thanks again for another fab vlog 😀 I particularly found this one interesting as I'm on the islet cell transplant list. I've been on the list for three years and had a call just before covid. Unfortunately it was able to go ahead as the quality of the cells deteriorated so quickly. You are 100% correct- these things unfortunately just happen and again you are also correct when you say it is a 'bittersweet' moment- your gain is someone else's loss😔 Thanks again for your video documenting the pros and cons of transplants 😀

[@ViolinMD]

Yes I agree - thanks for agreeing Tony!

[@BrianJoslyn]

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.

[@JoJo-hg7tg]

Unfortunately not everyone has common sense. But I agree Tony, it does seem silly

[@ChronicReader]

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!
