DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOCTOR: Hematology Rotation

[@TheAgeofFabulous]

As someone with one of those life long genetic conditions, thanks for respecting our privacy!!

[@ViolinMD]

Oh absolutely!! I just really wanted to highlight how important it is to learn from patients rather than assuming that as doctors we know more... definitely not true, especially with rare conditions!

[@nicky5078]

Violin MD just now watching this video. Very refreshing to see a doctor willing to learn from a patient and understand their perspective. Things aren’t always textbook and patients tend to do their research and understand their bodies better

[@holyknight9507]

Patients dont know their body and thats a fact. If we knew it best then we wouldnt go see a doctor. When ill, most doctors visit another a doctor as they believe that the other doctor can see and notice things that they themselves dont know. Im not a doctor but I believe that at least of med school curriculum has to do with real world learning and practise

[@LeahNicoleMusicToday]

@@holyknight9507 no, we know our body, we just cant write our own charts, nor can we prescribe our own medicines.

[@NurseLiz]

You are SO good at explaining things very simply and succinctly. You’ll make such a great teacher as you progress through your training (and even now)! Thanks for sharing these!

[@DuayFah]

As someone who has genetic blood disorder I appreciate the process the doctor go through to help their patients.... All your videos are very interesting to watch and I love watching them... I always learn something new when I watch your videos.🙂

[@ViolinMD]

Thanks so much Paritharn - I really appreciate it!

[@ummesalmatahir6745]

Same! 😁

[@rebeccamarilyn3935]

In the same position, and I also see a Hematologist every year at Juravinski! So interesting to see this specialty from the perspective of a then-resident!

[@resasarino7415]

Doc sana mapansin mo ako tanong q lng po doc bakit ang kamay ko parang wla dugo pag naka taas.. Normal naman po lab ko please sana mapansin mo ako

[@enteiraikou5845]

Yesss! A Resident that doesn't drink coffee. Finally! I once shadowed a doctor and I may have mentioned that I don't drink coffee and he told me that I won't survive school... that's why I tried drinking coffee afterwards but it just made me sick. So now I don't drink it!

[@MohamedAhmed-wc3pw]

Same coffee isn't my thing. I only drink it for fun these days. You just have to add some creamer and it tastes pretty good

[@leocardenas7306]

It's all mind games. It's all in the persons head. People drink coffee and energy drinks to be alert. I don't need both because water is my coffee/ energy drink. 💯

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Entei! haha you know what? I was told the EXACT same thing!! who knows, i still have 4 years of residency to go... haha

[@Inkling777]

Ah, you now have a opportunity for medical research. From what I have read, the caffeine in coffee is like many other drugs. Over time you build up tolerance and have to increase your dosage. In the end, you're drinking a lot of it but the effect has become so weak that you're in about the same shape as if you'd never started. That puts you in a terrible bind. Coffee does little to keep you awake, but the lack of it will make you sleepy. You've become addicted. ---- I'm like you. My stomach and taste buds find coffee too acidic to be enjoyable. That said, coffee does seem to have enough health benefits (i.e. lowering the risk of Type II diabetes) that I drink two cups mixed 50/50 with milk each morning. I see that as like taking a vitamin pill. www.healthline.com/nutrition/top-13-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-coffee#section5 Some of the data about the benefits of coffee may have a causation problem much like exercise does. Is it that good health in elderly people is because they exercise regularly, or is it that people who have good health are able to exercise regularly? It's hard to tell because you can't treat people like lab rats. ----- If you notice from my other posts here, I prefer to deal with sleep issues by putting a priority on getting more sleep rather than using stimulants. That's how I coped with 16 months of nights on pediatric Hem-Onc without taking a drop off coffee. I tend to be very caffeine-sensitive, so that had the added advantage that, once I was off work, I feel asleep very quickly-typically within two or three minutes. Coming down after a caffeine high is another negative for coffee drinking at work. There are also ways to catch up on sleep without setting aside 8-hour blocks. Search online for "power nap" for an approach that works well. Here's one link: www.wikihow.com/Power-Nap

[@carlosluque2346]

coffee is great for those times when whatever it is you do in life wants to pile it on and on, on a specific day.

[@gcarmi]

Siobhan, you’re such an inspiration with such a positive attitude. Love your videos!

[@ViolinMD]

Thank you so much Gracie!

[@o0Theresa0o]

2:50 - "you can learn a lot from the patients themselves" THANK YOU! I think this may be my biggest pet peeve with doctors. I appreciate and accept your intelligence, experience, and knowledge. But that will not compare to a patient's lived experience with a disease/condition/illness. They will have a much more intimate understanding of what it's like, and may be exceptionally educated (because they spend a lot of time trying to understand their own condition). It frustrates me to no end when I meet a doctor who will not listen to what I have to say "because doctor knows best", yet, I am clearly the more educated on that particular subject. This also goes just in general. When I am telling you that I think something is wrong, I want that to be seriously considered. I know my body and how I feel better than anyone else. Don't assume I am a hypochondriac - just listen, and use my input as a valuable source of information.

[@Inkling777]

Here's a suggestion you might find helpful. As you move deeper into residency, your time will get shorter and your responsibilities will grow. As a result, you're likely to find yourself torn between getting needed sleep and find enough time for exercise. One fix is to find ways to make double-use of your time-turning some of your work into exercise. You know better than I what that might be, but that could include: 1. Taking stairs rather than elevators-and take them fast. 2. Walking quickly even when circumstances don't dictate speed. When I worked on an adolescent unit, I attached a high priority to listening carefully to anything teens said. When I wasn't relating to them, however I moved at a very fast walk. The time saved on the latter helped justify the former. This is that applied to exercise. 3. When you've got 15 minutes to get somewhere that's 5 minutes away, don't arrive early and sit around. Take a longer route, perhaps one with stairs. 4. When you and someone need to talk, suggest doing so while walking. 5. Combine exercise with reading by listening to audiobooks and podcasts as you walk or run. Record training sessions and listen to them later as a refresher. You'll pick up more the second time around. You might also see if your smartphone has a pedometer function or get a pedomenter to carry with you. Some set 10,000 steps a day as a goal. If you know how many steps you've taken at the end of your work shift, that'd let you tailor the time you spend at exercise. www.thewalkingsite.com/10000steps.html --Michael W. Perry, medical writer

[@megster0723]

I get so excited when I see you have a new video!! You are such a bright and positive ray of pure sunshine!! I just found out that I got accepted into nursing school earlier this week! I hope that when I'm an RN I get to work alongside doctors who are friendly and positive just like you! - Meghan

[@madelinelajoie9127]

I’ve been binge watching almost all of your videos! Whenever I’m breastfeeding my newborn and I’m tired at like 3am, I watch your videos because for some reason knowing other people are awake at that hour working motivates me to try and stay awake too lol! I’m not even pursuing medicine nor do I think I ever will but all your videos are so informative, fun to watch and I love your attitude and positivity! Props to you for doing what you do, anyone can sure tell you love what you do!

[@RocioMartinez-qe1he]

There is one word that keeps popping up in my head while watching your videos; INSPIRATIONAL! That little self talk was the best!

[@korenbrosnac4335]

Nursing student here! I have been watching your videos since before I got into nursing school. I have always appreciated how much time you took to teach about certain diseases and topics. Now that i am in nursing school, I am able to understand what you're talking about more, and it makes it more fun!

[@kstadlerova]

I´m considering hematology as my specialty because hematologists have literally saved my life and this was a super interesting video! Thanks!

[@Achristian888]

I’ve been working as a doctor for 9 years and I don’t drink coffee... btw the gym talk happens to me everyday so you’re not alone! Love your videos :)

[@ViolinMD]

haha oh man it can be such a struggle... but i'm also happy when i go! Good to hear you are still surviving without coffee :)

[@aprilkyle431]

I hate coffee but I love tea😍❤🍶🍵

[@emmeliahostrawser553]

You are so kind and patient! And you explain things so clearly. I could easily picture you as a teacher.

[@hewa984]

Hi doctor, Thanks for your videos. I graduated from medical school exactly 10 years ago. Your videos remind me of myself. Its very refreshing really listening to you. It almost feels like a movie that I have seen it before. AND, like you, I do not drink coffee. AND I bought a violin literally two days ago. I wish you all the luck. Keep us updated doc 🙃

[@CarterSullivan]

This was my favourite vlog by far!! I work on a haematology unit and am planning on pursing PA school next fall to work in haematology, specifically BMT/leukemia. Keep up the amazing vlogs, you're so inspiring to so many of us, especially fellow Canadians!!

[@ViolinMD]

oh wow that's so cool to hear! Thanks for watching Carter and best of luck!

[@madismiles247]

a good tip for being motivated to work out after work, you could take your gym clothes with you to work & change before you go! so there’s no reason to stop home first!!

[@ViolinMD]

yeahhhh i totally agree! I used to do that when I had a car, but I never want to carry it when i'm walking... maybe i should do that though

[@Trble1]

I’m A Sickle Cell Anemia patient myself. Thank You for EVERYTHING you do🤗😘👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dae-anachristie9492]

Quanshay Murphy same here sister. I’m trying become a hematologists

[@o0Theresa0o]

Also, I think you're some sort of super-human or alien. You have a ridiculous amount of energy, discipline, and positivity. I admire you enormously.

[@ferielber485]

The energy I get when I watch ur videos is amazing great proof that positivity is contagious thank you lots of support n love

[@ViolinMD]

Really appreciate you saying that - thanks Darkish Girl!

[@h2ogurl1234]

I really love hearing you say that doctors should listen to patients. I've spent a long time fighting for people to listen to me and it's incredibly frustrating

[@foreverjeyri]

I just binge watched all your videos!!! I love your channel and especially the vlogs that take us on your journey in your medical rotations!! So awesome and it's like we're living residency through you haha. I'm a nurse in a Toronto hospital and you inspire me to wanna be a doctor!

[@meganotoole3079]

I’m a tea drinker also. I love how relaxing it is but at the same time it gives you a little boost of energy. Well at least for me! I wish you were my doctor! You seem so sweet and bubbly!!

[@marianneblack2688]

I love seeing the residents. It is a longer appointment but I love have all the thoughts and ideas rolling around especially with my illness! 5 minute videos are never enough- i could watch you all day!! Keep up the good work!! 💙

[@ViolinMD]

Aw thank you so much Marianne! Its also wonderful to hear your appreciate for residents being involved in your care!

[@lindsaycarter4930]

Hey that's the walk over bridge that connects the Fontbonne Building to the hospital !!😀. I was born at St. Joe's hospital 43 yrs ago and had my kids there along with 2 surgeries . I also volunteered there when I was in high school 😊. I love that hospital .......by far my favourite hospital over the Hamilton Health Sciences ones...... The General & Juravinski .

[@Jessica-tx9tx]

I am an elementary school teacher.....but my mom was in the medical field. I find your videos fascinating because I always wish I could have gone into the medical field looking back. Thanks for sharing!

[@stardust111100]

As someone who has had hereditary spherocytosis their whole life, thank you for showing how awesome hematology could be for those who don't deal with it all the time and think "oh it's just blood stuff"!!

[@christalmccollim]

I have been anemic for about 10 years. They have no idea what is going on. I've had 2 picc lines. 1 for 4years & 1 for 2 days that caused a blood clot. Now I've had a port for 4 years. I've had 32 blood transfusions! I wish we knew what's going on. This video is amazing.

[@karenknaus221]

Love your sweet and kind ways!!! You are awesome! A blessing to all you meet and especially your patients! Keep up the great work!!!😍😍😍😍

[@k123kxox]

I love your positivity!! Your videos give me such motivation. I'm hoping to become a nurse and I'm currently working on my pre-reqs for an advanced standing nursing program. I'm hooked on your videos and love when you upload! Also its always exciting to see a fellow Canadian on youtube!

[@AugustAdvice]

When I was in elementary school I wanted to be a doctor, I'm 25 now and didn't go down that road, but curiosity had me watching your videos and to be honest I don't think I could handle it. It showed me how hard it is to be a doctor (obviously we know this) but how chaotic it can be. I totally don't say this to sound discouraging but I definitely commend you on being able to do it because wow that's a hectic job.

[@sophiam6463]

My goal is to become an oncologist but I also have a passion for the cello, your videos have proven to me that I can fulfill both of my dreams!

[@mathewtruong2722]

Your videos are so inspirational!! Love the energy you bring! thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to make them

[@barbaraa5538]

Yay THANK YOU! I am not really motivated to study right now, and I decided to go on KZbin and hope that there is a new video from the doctors/med students that I am subscribed to, and you posted! Time to go ace my math work!

[@ViolinMD]

awesome - best of luck with your math work Barbara!!

[@FlyingwiththePhoenix]

Siobhan - I am an ITP patient! Loved seeing that in your notes! Hematology is sweet. 👍

[@moontree93]

I'm still so much looking forward to hearing and seeing what you have to share about Hematology.

[@katp3154]

I wish this video was longer. Your vlogs are so interesting. I love watching them! Best of luck 💖🙏🏽

[@cb8459]

I love getting to catch up on your vlog each week!! :) I am going to be studying to do medical reception work, which I know is not even on par with the same aspects as you have to study for, but I still find it so cool hearing all about it all! :) Plus, you seem like such a kind & genuine person!

[@leocardenas7306]

I also do not drink coffee in the mornings. Water is how I start my day. Keep up the good work, videos are awesome 🤗

[@ViolinMD]

Thanks Leo! oh wow that's pretty hard core... i still love the little bit of caffeine i get from my tea :) hehe

[@dianam.ibarra8000]

Greetings from Austin,TX, USA. I love your videos. Thanks for the new one.

[@michellesunshinestar]

I don't really like coffee myself, strangely it makes me more tired. I love tea though too, especially caffeine free!! Sometimes nighttime tea helps me sleep.

[@donnie9886]

Love these vlogs! I want to become a nurse and can’t wait to work with amazing doctors like you!

[@anarecendiz343]

Wow, you are an inspiration! I just found your channel today and I already subscribed. You helped me today to talk to my professor, something I’m always scared of. I feel so motivated to study for my test tomorrow

[@rebekahmckean3216]

Thank you so much Siobhan for another very interesting video! I think that the fact that you dedicate your working life to caring for people, whilst doing something you love is a beautiful thing. I was wondering, when you first started in the medical field/at med school, did it take you a while to get used to the blood aspect of things (obviously prevalent in haematology) or were you ok with it from the beginning? Your videos make me so happy, even when I’m having a tough day. You inspire me so, so much so thank you for that 💙

[@medivuiekkroswik3847]

Love the new background beat in this vlog😆

[@ViolinMD]

yay!! I had fun with it this week - thanks for mentioning it!!

[@janewanjiru1396]

[@ViolinMD]

aw thank you!! yeah this one was shorter than usual... i'll try to make the next ones longer!!

[@colleengoodman7638]

I agree! I love your videos, but this was so short I didn't get much out of it. I'd rather see a week vlog than a daily one that didn't really cover much!

[@xchurricane]

I love having your videos on while I have lulls at work. I'm a meteorologist, so another 24/7 type job!! And Yes, I would love for a few longer videos about day in the life!! Or even a week in the detail of day in the life vids!

[@northernberry]

I've been watching your vlogs for a few months now and recognized St. Joes hospital in the background! So cool to know that we live in the same city ☺

[@belasilva9167]

[@shay-lakailani772]

I really love your videos. I’m currently doing my Phlebotomy training for my CCMA @ Hawaii Medical College and watching your video and seeing how Much you love what you do makes me want to go all the way and become a doctor. I’m just not sure if I can handle it. Any motivational tips on pursuing your education?

[@erickmartinez5513]

i really enjoy these videos! thank goodness for your channel. love you lots-from california

[@ViolinMD]

Thanks so much Erick!

[@bellairmennaputeri9181]

Hey Siobhan! New subscriber here, I love your vlogs. I also have one of those life long genetic blood disorders, so naturally I've always been fascinated by doctors (obviously bcs I almost always hanging around the hospital for monthly transfusion). It's really nice to see what you do. Keep up the good work! :)

[@strawberryswirl92]

You have so much motivation! I try to go to the gym after work but it's so hard haha.btw I used to work at the pharmacy in that hospital :)

[@jrabriss07]

I live in Buffalo, NY and I'm going to school for Medical Technology and graduating in May, and one of my favorite parts of the lab to work in is Hematology!! Don't forget about your lab friends! :)

[@omgislala]

I'm not even a med student but really like watching your videos! Makes me want to get into medicine

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Laura - so glad to hear you are enjoying the videos!!

[@cynthiaejiogu8442]

Say it out loud! It’s cool to see things you only read about it School! We have all thought it in the healthcare world

[@kaylakarn5034]

As a Medical Laboratory Scientist, it's nice to see what is going on on the other side of our results!

[@ViolinMD]

Oh cool! Thanks for reaching out Kayla!

[@alaina516]

I love your videos! I’m in nursing school right now and I love it for the most part lol

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Lane - glad to hear you are enjoying nursing! Thanks for watching!

[@shereenryn9446]

You always excited and cheerful omg 😍

[@sarahhayden5231]

Hi! I'm in love with your channel! You've actually inspired me to become an internal medicine doctor! I have one question... when you are on call in the hospital... do you sleep in your scrubs? Obviously if they are gross you wouldn't but I figured if you were asleep and got a code blue there would be no time to change.

[@aslireality7164]

I will be studing medicine this year and I've playing violin for eight years, so I see myself when I look at you. Maybe I'm your part who lives in Turkey. (Sorry if I said something wrong, English isn't my native language)

[@noorrandhawa1536]

I was watching calculus videos, but then I remembered you posted :)

[@KasiaZ]

I prefer tea as well! For autumn winter it is great with lemon, honey and slice of ginger or raspberries that I did in a jar in the summer are now perfect tea add on! :)

[@JorgeDHarrison]

I'm also a violinist and a physician. And actually I want to be an hematologist. Nice video 👍

[@yousefelh3177]

Hello, I've got a question, since the majority of people that enter med-school tend to have a science related degree prior to medschool such as biochemistry, biomedicine, etc.. but you had a music-related one, did you struggle in the beginning in terms of knowing basic biology and chemistry? 'I actually don't drink coffee' Got me shoooooooook. Great video!

[@courtneyschaump]

Yousef El Hussainy I’ve wondered this too!!

[@jwaren789]

I'm a 4th year med student now and no. She would've had to take the required classes for med school which would entail the classes that science majors would have taken. If she hadn't taken these classes, how would she have taken the MCAT? The reason people can be any major and go to med school is that they have also completed the bio/chem/physics/organic chemistry/biochemistry etc classes. You can't just decide you want to go to med school out of nowhere and just get accepted without putting in the work. With students who have already taken these classes, it is still rather competitive just to get into a med school. Having a good GPA and MCAT is only the basis of being a barely competitive applicant. Sorry for sounding harsh but I feel like I explain this to many people on the daily. When med school begins, you dive right into biochemistry and very complex topics that might've only scratched the surface during undergrad biochem. If she didn't know the basics of even the lowest level classes (general bio and chem) how would she have gotten into med school?

[@catherinestratton5836]

McMaster (her school) only requires CARS from the MCAT

[@katvtay]

J Waren Catherine is correct that Siobhan’s school did not require the science portions of the MCAT. You must be familiar with some North American schools that don’t require it. Also not all schools require biochem. I can’t remember if Siobhan took it. I’ve seen plenty of med students who didn’t who say they wish they had. Obviously, everything else you said was on the mark. Med school without those completed sciences w/ labs… Impossible.

[@cancersuxbigfatones]

My son had ALL. It was diagnosed early because a hemotolgist looked at his cells and saw 1 kinda weird cell. She advised me that it could be something or it could be nothing. Glad I did the Bone Marrow aspirations. Hematology is a cool subject. On a side note, have you ever had a patient with Good Pastures? I was diagnosed in 09'. I'm Stanford's first living donor transplant using IVIG. Have a great week.

[@myanichols3446]

Found your video on a Fry Life video. I'm a hemo patient, and my jaw hit the floor when I saw my clinic. Maybe I'll see you around. :)

[@esthersong978]

Finally a new video 😍😍😍

[@ViolinMD]

heheh thanks Esther!

[@nicolelee8472]

Love the new editing style!!

[@thejojoroll7437]

I'm an RN and I made it through both nursing school & now working as a straight night shift nurse without drinking coffee or tea. I don't like the taste of either. Every now and then, I'll drink a little bit of caffeinated pop to get me through, but I usually don't need any caffeine to get me by. :)

[@roksolanasenuik3310]

So beautiful and smart. Love you!!

[@anavee1813]

Your videos are so interesting to watch keep up the hard work 💙

[@markw3455]

I just came across your channel, so far I really enjoy it. Nothing wrong with not drinking coffee, I prefer tea as well. My family always asked me how I survived college without coffee?

[@samuel-olivierguay1029]

Very interesting video! I learn a lot, thank you!

[@michellesunshinestar]

I eat at 5: 30 and I'm not a senior citizen. But I was at a senior home once to regulate my psych meds. Hot dog night was my highlight!! The one roommate had her daughter bring her fried chicken once a week, and they gave me some, it may have saved my life!! My mom and dad took me out once a week too. I got to know the person at the front desk, I would go talk to her (she was more my age). I heard the place shut down because of a broken air conditioner.

[@sfappetrupavelandrei]

Regarding the coffee/tea stuff I wanted to tell you that it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I'm a software developer which is also a coffee fueled job but I don't drink coffee so I drink a lot of green and black tea.

[@minam611]

Gotta have that Tim Hortons! Love your videos.

[@jessicak2530]

Yes, finally a doctor who loves tea over coffee!

[@ViolinMD]

oh yeah!! I swear i could make a video about my love for tea haha

[@fry6344]

Your vlogs are super fun 😀

[@taybae5437]

Hi. I'm Taylor, I'm 13 and live in The Atlanta area. I want to be a Hematologist who specializes in hemophilia, VWD, and Inherited Platelet disorders. I actually have an inherited platelet dysfunction called Delta Storage Pool Deficiency which is quite rare. I appreciate your videos letting people know what it's like from a doctor's viewpoint.

[@fishercat503]

Former lab tech here. I loved hematology and clinical chem. You should try getting the lab in some of your vlogs.

[@nikolaschobel6804]

I'm actually scared of hospitals but I love your vlogs!! :)

[@yo8islate]

Oooh I'm quite liking this different vlogging style! Also where did you get that cute mug from the intro?

[@ViolinMD]

oh great, glad to hear it!! mmm the mug was actually a present from a friend!

[@alondramulero5915]

Lets get Siobhan to 100k by chirstmas this year!

[@esrum20]

Just subscribed :) my mom has been a nurse for atleast 25 years and but have never had a inside look:)

[@jer2dabear]

I've had Hemophilia all my life, so I've seen my share of Hemotologist :) or I should say I see my Hemotologist way more than anybody else. Also I just started Hemlibra which is an amazing new drug. I have Factor 8 deficiency less than 1% and I just take treatment in the stomach every 2 WEEKS!! It's crazy how far it's come.

[@andreajlmoore]

Haha..hilarious...I have to trick myself with self talk everyday if I want to exercise, eat better, not nap...etc... glad to know I'm not alone =)

[@ViolinMD]

oh definitely not Andrea!! haha "not nap" - love it!

[@buffoon99]

How do you have such white teeth?? Tell me your secrets!!

[@ViolinMD]

hahah I do use white strips once in a while... maybe not drinking coffee ;) hehe

[@AmyLouiseYT]

I'd love to see more vlogs specific to this topic if possible.

[@DoctorNikkiP]

lol I can totally relate with your gym struggles. That's why I started doing Taekwondo--it's an activity I'm excited for and it also keeps me moving :)

[@emilymarguerita2781]

You are delightful.

[@privatebrowncake]

I am an intern currently at hematology department and I prefer tea over coffee too also the gym part I totally feel you It's been over a week for me since I went to the gym cause of exactly what you described 😁
