[@amylynn9606]

I just found your channel today. I love how mature you are talking about this, and while there is some hospital jargon, you clearly explain what everything is. Time to grab popcorn and binge!!! You've earned a subscriber!

[@ViolinMD]

Wow thanks so much Amy - I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@ryleep8369]

I agree . New subscriber here too .. I'm a medical student and I really enjoy seeing what my future is going to be like and you make it so exciting and explain everything so so well !!

[@xenia1474]

I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! for addressing allergies. I personally have a whole laundry list of severe food allergies and so many people don't take them seriously. So it's really great to see someone shedding light on the topic.

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

This is the most underrated channel on KZbin! How on earth do you manage to doctor so happily?! I'm allergic to seafood & shellfish, so as a Queenslander, it's rather....embarrassing. Living in China for 10 years with it was an absolute minefield, and they just don't get allergies at all there, for them it's code for 'I don't like!'.

Mac

[@lightningdoggos4662]

I love how in big letters you see deadly allergy and she’s just over there smiling putting gloves on

[@RandyMullis1]

That was fascinating, Siobhan! Now I know why the care providers always ask if you're allergic to any medicines! Scary to think this could happen!

[@MsStina84]

I've always found it a bit silly that they are asking, not after this.

[@shreky9821]

I am allergic to 7 different antibiotics

[@lauraaston3704]

Just so you know, I'm a pre-applier to medical school (applying this May) and your videos help inspire me to keep working incredibly hard every day in order to be where you are. Thank you for making these videos as seeing the awesome things you do really helps me through the rough days of biochemistry, physics, biology and MCAT study!

[@autumngilbreath7819]

Would you be able to explain when/why people “dress up” and when/why they’d choose to wear scrubs. It’s hard to imagine why anyone would opt to wear anything other than their scrubs and tennies. Lol

[@NatashaEh]

unless youre in the OR you don't usually need it

[@S1i1c1k]

She explained why she'll look "fancier" in an older video, it was a good bit of time ago and I can't remember what she said. :(

[@avamacy2348]

@Im No Chef Natasha I am confused, did you mean ER? I’m not trying to be a smarty pants(or anything like that). Was it autocorrect?

[@AYOkay027]

@Ava Elizabeth no, OR is operating room, and ER is emergency room

[@iwatchkittenvids45]

Unless you're on call at nights its usually business casual

[@ivanatheiguana]

Hello! Both I personally, and my family, have received treatment at this hospital many times, and it is incredible to se what goes on behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing! I love your videos and appreciate how real and YOU you are. I like that how they are edited, too, and how they are calming, and matter-of-fact rather than trying to be in your face (like most of KZbin today). Keep doing what you're doing! So inspired by you - and in awe by you because you are SO SMART.

[@faithparr585]

It's so obvious you love you work and you seem so good at it. You're so calm and optimistic and I admire that greatly. I only wish there were more doctors in the world like you. I'll be starting medical school soon, and I hope to be just as good as you. Best wishes! Love your videos!

[@bridget7288]

I am a second year med student in the US and watch your videos on study breaks. You are so positive, and your videos help remind me what I am working towards. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Thank you so much Sarah!

[@danapowers9793]

As someone who has multiple severe allergies THANK YOU for spreading this message. I have had individuals and employers not take mine seriously.

[@kristinasue5083]

Unfortunately, there is a shortage of Epi-pens and Epi-pen Jrs in Canada :( A lot of Canadians are on a waiting list to get one

[@ViolinMD]

Yes I heard about that!!! Can’t believe it!

[@syntenel2283]

I live in the US and I feel like we have an abundance! A relative of mine has an allergy and he carries around a Epi Pen, we should import them!!!

[@alisonsimmons5969]

Here in the US too. I work in a Pharmacy and they have been on back order for months now.

[@samtaplet6117]

[@JBFanBand]

The US is also facing a shortage of epi pens as well as a complete shortage of IV benadryl.

[@rayherbst6655]

Siobhan, to see the world through your eyes is refreshing, amazing, and astonishing. My line of work is so close to yours, yet the people I work with would never permit videography. I am not jealous, I fought to be creative like you over the last 5 years, and am nearing the end of my career.

[@ThreePipePr0blem]

I love watching your videos, you teach me so much and you’ve made me less scared of hospitals. Thank you for your videos

[@CamilleLaughts]

I’m really enjoying your videos, especially as someone who works in a hospital directly with patients, we only see doctors a few minutes at a time so it’s interesting to see the different perspective. I just love your calm demeanor and how you really explain things that happen throughout the day, which is not a quality you see in all doctors. I’ve worked in a hospital just over 3 years and have had 4 TB tests done. This year we actually weren’t required to have it done, only if we were showing symptoms so that was a nice change! Keep up your awesome work, you definitely have a new subscriber!

[@leylagoucha3349]

I relate a lot to Siobhan's allergies when she was younger. I am 13 and I have many allergies, eggs, fish, dairy, and some nuts which honestly are all quite dangerous for me, especially dairy. Once, I was having pizza with my family in a restaurant and we asked for vegan cheese on the pizza (my mom and I were familiar with the brand), and almost instantly, I was nauseous and short of breath. My mom and I quickly took the car to the pharmacy around the block and got Benadryl (literally works the best for me, always🙏, when I have a small reaction just in my mouth, it helps a lot). I took that and we went home. But then, when we got home, I actually started to vomit, not just feel nauseous, and then I started really feeling like tight in my chest and I could not breathe easily. My mom rushed me to the ER and I got oxygen and allergy medicine (I can't really remember the details) and I felt like I could breathe again. We finally went home and I slept well. That was about 2 years ago, and I will never forget it 😬 During the pandemic I don't really go anywhere but before COVID I took my inhaler (I also have asthma), Benadryl, and about 90% of the time I took my EpiPen. I am going to try to bring it every time as she said. I love your videos Siobhan! ❤️ I learn a lot each time :)

I just love your positive ,upbeat attitude and your beautiful smile!! Are you a regular doctor and how much longer do have before graduating medical school? You’re going to make a superb doctor someday!! Wishing you the best of luck and keep up the great work!!! I’m glad that I stumbled across your videos so I’m going to watch you regularly. Having your positive attitude will surely carry you far in life and looks like you’re off to a great start!! You’re a beautiful young lady. Take care

[@dizzylbnt]

Thank you so much for another lovely video. I can't thank you enough for highlighting just how serious allergies can be! I just recently read an article about a young teenager who passed away because a bully at his school was 'just joking' and thought it would be 'funny' to shove cheese down this poor kid's shirt :( you really never know how severe someone's allergies are, please please please don't allow the few people who might exaggerate or fake their allergies to let you become complacent, it could seriously endanger the life of someone with actual allergies!

[@saraisolorzano1290]

Literally just found her yesterday & I'm hooked! I have an even greater appreciation for doctors & medical staff after watching ❤ Please keep doing your videos 🙌

[@alexinzurriaga7009]

Im so happy you uploaded! I’ve always wanted to be a heart surgeon! But when I watch your videos it makes me want to do it more ! And I’m only 13!

[@SparklyBelle]

I know this video is about allergies, but I just wanted to comment to say I think you’d make a fantastic pain consultant. As someone with severe chronic pain it’s a really common experience for those of us with incurable conditions to have dismissive or unhelpful pain doctors. Your warm and caring attitude would make such a difference for those patients who will be in the ‘system’ forever. Keep it up, you are truly making a difference.

[@katesoftstone7727]

I have a deadly allergy to nuts. Especially peanuts, almonds, and cashews. The allergy is so bad it’s off the charts! When I went to the doctor once he said it was the worst allergy he’s ever seen! It is crucial to carry around an epi pen. My mom lets me practice on old expired fruits with my expired epi. I’ve never had to inject myself and I am so glad! I have horrible anxiety towards my allergy. Thank you for putting that out! I know just how you felt! 💚

[@kristinreynolds577]

I was so excited to see your video pop up!! I love your videos! I haven’t had many allergies at all, but my body made up for it. I was sick all the time from around 13 on. It was so frustrating and I caught a lot of flack from people at work for missing work. Then finally at the age of 35 I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease, and the reason for my crappy immune system!

[@kimberlyashley1827]

Hi Shioban , I love watching your vlogs! It’s really interesting and fascinating to see what you guys go thru on day to day basis. Some of my cousins are doctors and this would give me an idea of what they do too! Hats off to you and the nurses , thank you all for your service :)

[@animatedpancakes]

Siobhan, I’ve been waiting to see you talk about anaphylaxis and thank you for stressing that it needs to be taken seriously! I have a condition that causes idiopathic anaphylaxis and I’m always telling my students and friends who have allergies that using an epipen hurts less than how bad anaphylaxis feels. Also, thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! It is neat to see the other side of things in the hospital :)

[@twocrazytwinsters9085]

i love that you put light on allergies today, siobhan. i have severe allergies to eggs and peanuts, so it's very hard to find the right foods to eat. it's hard going to restaurants because i have to check and ask about the food and what it's grilled on. i'm very thankful for having a bunch of friends who understand and can make arrangements if necessary. well, thanks to anyone who felt like reading my boring comment lol. have a nice day/night! :) ❤

Her videos just prove how many cases there are in a day! Great job very inspiring!!

[@lars9561]

I have a severe food allergy (peanuts) it will most likely never go away because my blood test numbers are way to high. It's so high I can't even get a skin test. While my everyday life isn't too chaotic. My allergy has disabled me from going over to other people houses, being able to have school food. And when I was younger I could never have any birthday treats at school. Unless I brought them or they were safe. I can't go over to other peoples houses because no parents know how to use my medication if I have an allergic reaction and their plates etc may not have been washed properly so I could get hurt from using cups, plates, and utensils....That arent my own. It makes me happy to see you (one of my favorite youtubers) talk about someone having an allergic reaction and also talking about how important they are. Oh and I want to be a nurse a lot once I'm older (ICU). I also can't kiss anyone unless they take a lot of precaution so that stinks. (i can kiss my family of course) also tip/// I wear a purse to carry my medicine!!!

[@tate5938]

Cherry Bomb My brother has a peanut allergy too and his isn’t as bad as yours but this one time we were at my other brothers friends birthday party and there was ice cream and my brothers favorite flavor was cookies and cream and there was one that looked like cookies and cream but the cookie part was Reese’s and I took the Reese’s one and when I realized it was Reese’s I got so nervous that my brother ate it I threw up. My parents rushed over to my brother and luckily he didn’t eat it. Another thing that annoys him is when he brings in cupcakes or whatever for his birthday in school and another person brings in the same exact cupcakes his teacher won’t let him eat them.

[@ashleyk524]

You seem like such a caring person and doctor! Your patients are truly lucky. As someone with a lot of health problems, I’ve seen a lot of doctors, and sadly I’ve met some pretty awful ones along the way 😣

[@wummyworm]

i had a pretty bad allergic reaction to an antibiotic. since then, i've had several other ones, idiopathic. thank u for shedding light on reactions, i'm still trying to figure out what is causing mine!

[@moonylanatm_]

[@tinycatfriend]

i've had a TB test done! i did a 2 year program to become a social service worker, and a TB test is mandatory before going on placements. in my area, anyway. i just found your channel yesterday and i'm loving it! i've been in and out of hospital my whole life, so seeing how doctors work is really cool.

[@ThatMedic]

two tea bags in one cup hmmm i've never had that

[@ViolinMD]

Haha really?! Oh man that’s my daily... but it’s a huge cup... so maybe it evens out

[@Jamie-we8rf]

My campus Starbucks would put 2 bags in anything over 6 ounces of water. Eventually I just asked them to hand me the tea bags and I'd save one for later 😂 I let my tea steep forever so it usually isn't weak even if it is technically diluted.

I have always been a planner and organizer and list-maker, and what you said her really spoke to me. The past few years I've been feeling that I've been somehow failing at organizing and planning...but, as you said, my time is not my own. I teach full time in a public high school (English), and I am working on my doctorate, I have 2 teens (one just graduated h.s., one will next year), a household and husband... MY TIME IS NOT MY OWN, and so, as you described, I feel pulled so many different directions. Thank you for putting into words an explanation that makes sense.

[@MJ-uv6pp]

I also had a deadly dairy allergy. Like you, I grew out of it. I used to have an epi-pen because I had a whole bunch of allergies. I still have many but now I avoid all my allergies very well (none of the allergies are deadly) so I don’t have the epi-pen anymore.

[@isabelnichole8866]

I never knew I would enjoy this kind of stuff, but with your bright attitude I LOVE watching this!

[@cartiaking3377]

Hi, I was wondering if you could make a video on how to give yourself an epipen? I’m 15 and for some reason people don’t want to show me how to administer it myself, but surely I should know how to in case something happens and I’m on my own? I have extreme allergies and anaphylaxis, so it worries me. It could also help others as well!

[@hollyyazmin5758]

I thought most of them had instructions on them

[@ferretrunner09]

The box usually has instructions inside. There should also be a practice injector. Use it until you can give your medication without thinking about it. Basic instructions: Lift the cover, place the injector in the side of your thigh just in front o the femur. Push the injector and count to 10. I’m surprised the prescribing physician didn’t instruct you or have his/ her nurse do it.

[@amandaarii]

Blue to the sky orange to the thigh, slam it for the injection and then rub the site for 30 seconds

[@ShelbyDevaud]

Entity51 they have trainers available :) blue to the sky and orange to the thigh is correct though. Pull the top cap off (to the sky) hold in a fist grip, arm straight, and swing into outer part of your thigh (hard! Don't hesitate.) then hold for ten seconds and withdraw the epipen after. It should have a protective orange cap that will slide over the needle as you withdraw it, preventing needle injuries to you or anyone else. One thing: do not touch orange part after having taken the blue cap off. It will not inject by itself but even the smallest touch on the orange tip CAN set it off once that blue cap it removed.

[@undeniablygifted1]

Very informative! You are a great story teller! My cousin has a bad shellfish allergy so we always have to be extra careful when we chose a place to eat out as a family. I had a severe reaction to goose feathers last winter... was so scary!

[@merythg79]

Thank you for saying how allergies should be taken seriously. Every time I say I have severe allergy to dust and pollen people don't take me seriously, but when I start having problems breathing everyone goes nuts because they don't know what to do 🤦‍♀️ I like your videos, give everyone a different view of the life of medical professionals ❤️

[@jennywebb4678]

I found your channel about a year ago, when I was searching for rheumatology videos. I was originally diagnosed with UCTD, which progressed to RA. I also have celiac and Hashimoto’s. It’s fun to see you talk about being interested in rheumatology three years ago, and now that’s where you are still headed! As you can see from my list of diagnoses, we need plenty of good rheumatologists!

Hi Siobhan, I'm really sorry if I spelt your name wrong, but I just wanted to say that you have inspired me to work even harder in my sciences and possibly persue becoming a doctor or a paramedic. I have had seemingly neuropathic chronic pain since the age of seven, which has made me think that being a doctor is impossible and the only options I have is to be a journalist (I don't know why), but you have shown me the human side of medicine, not just the scary doctor who pushes my body over the edge, and shown me that it isn't impossible. Thank you for every video you put out. Also, your intro is amazing! But I have to say that cellos are the best instrument.

Something I love about you is that your always positive, you also smile a lot!!!!

[@jojomoore3630]

Can by chance you talk about Childhood Epilepsy or just Epilepsy. Because I have it and I'm confused about what my doctor is talking about.

[@mariami9083]

there are specific doctors about this on youtube that u can get information from if she doesn't see this! gl

[@kalidard]

I have to say, watching you makes me give doctors a bit of a break. Due to having a "rare" seizure disorder (seizures caused by the condition dysautonomia, not epilepsy) I've had multiple bad experiences with doctors, but seeing you gives me a little faith :)

5:00 need to show this part to my parents... they never believe me when I get an allergic reaction from cross contamination with fish :/

[@deborahaber996]

Adriana Gonzalez wait wtf is it severe or minor

[@addythebattydaddy.x]

@@deborahaber996 if it's cross contamination it's not as severe as directly consuming fish. I would say it's more of a mild reaction.

What a precious doctor you are, Siobhan! I'm thankful that there are people like you! :-)

omg thanks for the

I have something called mast cell activation syndrome. My body is constantly in a state of an allergic reaction. I've used over 40epi pens, 3 intubations, and now I am being kept alive by a continuous benadryl drip 24/7. Anaphylaxis is deadly. I always appreciate it when doctors take my many very serious allergies. Thank you for taking the time to educate! I love watching your videos!

[@thatguy2454]

What about small allergies like hayfever? How important is it to tell doctors about those?

[@ViolinMD]

Well id day if it’s bothering you, it’s worth mentioning because there are options for treatment... but if you are ever wondering if something is worth mentioning to your doctor... in general I’d say there’s no harm in mentioning things so you might as well!

[@thatguy2454]

Thanks for the advice.

[@mfrmassie5487]

Doctors will usually ask for any allergies you might have (including hay fever), when you come to see them.

I’m so fascinated by the medical field! It’s not something I think I could do myself but I love watching your videos. I always learn something new! I plan on going into the art field or psychology field, but the medical field will always stay near and dear to my heart.
