DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOCTOR: Internal Medicine

[@doctorbobby4543]

As an Anesthesiologist and new youtuber, this video makes me smile. It makes me remember medicine internship fondly. Blessings to you.

[@mmcase11]

I enjoy your videos so much. I have worked on a CTU unit for 25 yrs and still learn something new almost every shift. I love that you included talking to the nurse as part of you day. Sadly many doctors don't include this in part of their day.

[@itsheidi3093]

Your natural beauty is incredible, your personality is also such a breathe of fresh air

[@cole_sa1452]

Mannnn, I always love seeing the notification of you posting! ❤️

[@LittleArtisticNook]

Anytime I'm at my doctor's or having a test done and they ask if a student can be in the room, I always allow them. It's their way of learning(similar to when I did my student teaching) and my case with gastropraesis and other motility disorders is a tough one and this gives them great experience learning how best to treat me and/or handle my condition. So, awesome you're going to be a doctor, I wish you all the best of luck!

[@EyeonthePrize247]

Yes! I do the same thing! The supervising doctor always ask so timidly too which concerns me to think that it means many people say “no.” They need to learn and get their bearings and they can’t do that without patients to work with. Some folks lack of insight can be so frustrating.

[@aliciajytee3430]

Yay! Another video! I love seeing what’s going on behind the scenes, the things that us patients usually do see and understand.

[@iMoises56]

Your energy just brightens my day! Your passion for medicine is sooo motivating! Thanks for doing what you’re doing!

[@Mustacheebeth]

I am 21 & finally decided I want to become a surgeon! I felt like I was to late to do that but I’m so happy to hear you were also 21 when you realized you wanted to be a doctor! If you can do it, so can I! Love your channel btw😊

[@nightmare7219]

It'll be strange once you advance in your career and we don't hear "first year medical resident" XD

[@cole_sa1452]

Cece then be ready, she is gonna be a second year in a couple months I believe.

[@salemismail2226]

It's finely here!

2 yrs late, but I’m amazed at how different residency is at another country. Where I’m training as a 1st yr resident, I have 20 patients to myself during office hours (7am to 4pm) then during the hand over until 7am the next day, I have 2 floors all to myself after which I am back to my usual 20 patients until 4pm until I hand it over to another resident for the next 15hrs. I never experienced talking with my seniors or a hospitalist regarding our plans for patient care. I always end up calling the attending if I need to do something for their patient which is kind of a hassle especially for late night issues.

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

You are so pretty. So kind. I love watching your videos! Please, never change!

[@blueblueberry4973]

I'm considering becoming an SLP and was so excited to see you mention it! I would love to see a video on it

[@nombla1111]

I LOVE YOUr videos. I'm currently shadowing an internal medicine physician and it's amazing. The field is so broad and exciting. I hope that I can one day follow in your footsteps. Best of luck to you.

[@PinkSkittled80]

I spend a lot of time in hospital as a patient, and your vlogs really give a good insight to what happens behind the scenes. I'm in Australia, but I imagine the crux of it all is very similar!! Thank you for taking the time to make the videos and for sharing them with us all! Much love xx

[@lilaislovely]

It is funny that you mentioned House in the beginning. I was just watching the show before I clicked on this video. How fun.

[@vizuals5906]

Currently in premed and I watch all your videos. Completely motivates me and reminds me that this is what I want to do, keep it up!

[@hnhardin1217]

So neat to see the behind the scenes. I swear your freckles are gorgeous!

[@charlottedamico9521]

This video is really cool to watch! I love a day in the life of a doctor! It’s really Interesting!

[@FreeSkillsStyle]

Hi, thanks for making this video, it's great because when i'll do my rotations i'll know a bit more what its like in the hospital beforehand! Thanks!

[@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780]

It's very cool to see things that when you are a patient don't realize all that went into your day leading up to seeing us. I think house and E.R were the only true repentensations of it . Thank you.

[@strafe3849]

So how did you pick what type of residency you wanted to do ?

[@michalchannellife]

Girl, your voice relaxes me so much! Love watching your videos because of this.

[@zoking4526]

Michal Zelenjakovic exactly it’s very soothing

[@donnie9886]

As an aspiring nurse, these videos are so awesome and interesting!!

[@emilybueti4168]

I love these videos! It’s making me consider internal medicine in a whole new way ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@beth5868]

I watch your videos every Saturday religiously! Your videos highlight of my week!! I hope to go to med school so your vlogs are so motivational and informative, thanks for everything you do.

[@miwjada8459]

I want to get into internal medicine so very badly when I get to that stage in my life and your videos just make me so excited and hopeful for the future. Thank you

[@DM-kh5mf]

Good luck. Maybe i will make it too

[@emilys9218]

Haha this might be a weird question but whenever you’re asleep are you worried you won’t hear the pager? I’ve always wondered what would happen if a resident was a heavy sleeper and they didn’t hear their pager! Love your videos 💓☺️

[@COJ.Island]

😀

[@guyo]

I'm not her but as part of a medical team I usually try to nap at a very uncomfortable position, like sitting down or having 3 pillows on my head, so I could be easily waken up by slight noises. Basically, I'm just immobilizing my body and have some "rest."

[@annie8921]

Emilee Holland | usually it's loud enough to wake up a person :)

[@haninditabudhi6574]

Whenever we are "sleeping" during our shifts, we are actually in between the state of being awake and asleep. So basically any small noise will wake us up easily!

[@silviaoey7851]

Just continue sleeping and pretend the pager is just your dream.

[@MadameWinnell]

You are so informative. I feel like I get a a how to succeed in residency with every video haha . thank you !!!

[@guedesdescomplicando-med1682]

Perfect, already have one new suscribers!! 👏👏👏

[@enteiraikou5845]

Can you please make a video with a Physician Assistant if you guys have one in your hospital since it's relatively new in Canada compared to the states. Thank you!!

[@ErikaCM]

I just finished my medicine rotation and this makes me so nostalgic! I was thinking anesthesiology going in but I think I’ve been converted!

[@UniquelyPenny]

As a patient who has been the one being taught over it was odd. It was neat but always felt as I was a tool and not included. I have a feeling your personality leads to patient ease.

[@arubachic13]

Yay!! You mentioned Speech- Language Pathology!! This is my profession and it’s highly overlooked!! Maybe make a collab video with an SLP!? It would be great to create more awareness for the field and see the SLP+MD collab experience 🤗 Love your videos!

[@mvalentin1216]

I love your videos! I always learn so much from you, and you’re so approachable.

[@caribaez5711]

Watching your videos makes me want to be a registered nurse even though I was thinking to apply to respiratory therapist program. I like how the physician thinks so I prefer Nursing. I need to study for the entrance exam and I haven’t started.

[@bugibug2919]

loved this!!!

[@Ashlie258]

Another great video!! Thanks for sharing ♡♡

[@viridianstar]

I've been binging your videos and can't get over how much you look like Sutton Foster! More on topic, I'm a health communication researcher, and I really appreciate this "inside look."

[@joannedavies6005]

Hi Siobhan I love your videos 🙋‍♀️your always smiling & always happy 😀

[@asadsaleem2381]

love ur passion for medicine keep it up

[@seanshannon7741]

nice to see a fellow muso in medicine... as one myself the things your brain does while learning and playing music is awesome training for future medicine. There is so much scientific research to prove this all well. yay for music in medicine! haha...and great name btw haha

[@rajshreepoonam4303]

Yeah another video 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 I just wanted you to ask which was your worst dream in call shift? I love your T-shirt

[@lexil508]

I LOVE your vlogs!!!!

[@kaylaread9310]

Hi Siobhan! Would you do a video more on medical school and studying and exams? Thanks!!

[@MaddieoftheMoon]

Love this day in the life vids!

[@drjennale]

Our inpatient hours are horrible! 5-7 for long call and 5-4 on short call. 6 days a week, no call ... so I guess the no call part of it is good 😑

[@stevedavis2342]

Jenny Le I have a question for you as an internal medicine attending are the hours more normal than what I see for you guys as residents?

[@drjennale]

Steve Davis attendings usually come at 7 and off at 5ish. But they’re always staying later doing paperwork. I think the biggest difference is that they have 7 days in and 7 days off. While as residents we work the whole month

[@ViolinMD]

Wow 5am start?? That would be so draining!!

[@stevedavis2342]

Jenny Le oh wow thank you very much for the info I’m a big fan of you and violinmd your videos are very informative. Another question what made me you guys decide to be internal medicine doctors?

[@user-lu6yg3vk9z]

Violin MD Question: Do u smile when u are pissed off?

[@LirraAcroChannel]

You are so inspiring! I love watching your videos- they give me motivation to get my grades as high as possible and study for the GAMSAT (graduate admission test for medicine in Australia)! Thank you🙂

[@keanokeonskokok]

This vlog is so awesome!! I love it that it's so informative and i actually learn alot!!

[@laurensie7712]

I am a pharmacy student in BC and pharmacists here are definitely not considered allied health professionals, they are seen as a more intrinsic part of the healthcare team/system. Interesting how different roles are perceived in each province!!

[@iheartpinkandsparkle]

Hi! Have you done an OBGYN rotation yet? That would be my favorite. Also how old are you? You look so young!

[@ainokantola1793]

Would love to see a video where you talk about working with the allied health professionals! I'm a SLP student and quite keen on the idea of working in a hospital setting so I'd love to hear more about the work you do together 😄

[@karinaloveslucky6160]

Siobhan, how did you know you wanted to be a doctor? Like when someone asks you why you went into medicine, what are your main reasons? ☺️

[@crazy._.potatoesowo9468]

Ya

[@crazy._.potatoesowo9468]

That’s whah

[@karinaloveslucky6160]

When do the "on calls" end for you? Once your residency is over, and you start practicing do you still have on call shifts, and are they still as frequent? 🤔

[@rakimd5461]

Karina Loveslucky I’m pretty sure it’s not as much for an internal medicine resident maybe more on calls for surgical or obgyn residents but I’m not sure

[@yuri5648]

Всё носишься,ну да,тренируй ноги,неплохо так у вас,чисто и с умом.

[@ceeq3997]

2 months of call?!! how could anyone survive that? (in case anyone thought what you do is easy....😏). great vlog, as usual.

[@FlamesFanNumeroUno]

Could you please make a vlog on any tips for prepping for med school interviews, how you prepared for it and your experience through it all? :)

[@ViolinMD]

Yeah sure I can do that! Are you in he states? When are Med school interviews?

[@FlamesFanNumeroUno]

I'm in Canada but I'll be applying to a few American and Canadian schools this year!

[@cs_025]

I honestly wish your videos were longer... lol really enjoy watching them 👍🏼

[@samy7789]

how did you complete all your prerequisites in time before applying to med school, since you were a music major? thanks for all the great vlogs!!

[@Supersexymodz]

More vlogs! Longer too! Awesome content. Keep up the good work!

[@srujanmims]

I love internal medicine. They are the doctor’s doctor!

[@faitharooo]

Dr. Chakrabarti! Like in the show iZombie? ^_^ When I see your videos in my subscription box I get so excited! I find your days endlessly fascinating, so thanks for taking us with you & making these.

[@robinsmanatee]

You inspire me to go to medical school!

[@Georgeツ]

Possibly the hospital I'm always admitted to because of my GI issues but I'm not 100% sure. The hospital has a new side and an old side and fortunately, I'm always on the new side. The clips you showed look like the old side. However, a lot of hospitals look the same. It would be so cool to bump into you!

[@TA-yf8wg]

Hey Siobhan, I noticed that you do a lot of teaching. Is this optional or a mandatory component of your residency program?

[@AlexRodriguez-yl1qv]

I️ wish I️ could find a primary doctor like you!

[@jodystepnowski695]

I’ve given permission a few times for students/residents to talk about an ill kid in the hospital, and been happy to be part of the learning process for doctors in training myself, too, a few times. Makes sense, it is in everyone’s best interest to have well-trained doctors!

[@StefBarber]

I had a med student on a virtual appointment with one of my specialists. She wanted the med student to learn about not only about my complex health conditions but who i am in-spite of it all.

[@Mika-qf8pz]

3 exams to go 😊😊, perfect timing doc

[@tifacambridge9495]

Hey Siobhan I love your videos ♥️

[@sudosara]

Hi, I love your vids! Even though I have no intention of going to medical school myself, I still like watching your vids because you have such a positive attitude. I was wondering how you manage your personal life with such a busy schedule? What are your thoughts on having a relationship/family while in med school, residency, and beyond?

[@rachelkimiko4208]

I’m a big fan of your channel and videos! I love the behind the scenes take you give your viewers! Im also from Ontario and I am aspiring to be a physician. I was wondering if I could message you to ask you some questions about your journey and get some advice? Thanks!

[@ryanjones8283]

I just came searching for you and what did I see? '19 seconds' ago last posted :o I love your videos. Keep it up! You have so much energy and motivation. I bet this is going to be another amazing video

[@lsb4167]

Was he describing TN? Trigeminal Neuralgia. Crazy. It’s so not widely known and yet our family has experienced it twice. My daughter. Bilateral. It’s awful. The worst pain ever. Love ❤️ your videos.

[@victoriacampbell9365]

I am curious. I just graduated with a music interdisciplinary studies degree and have grown very interested in the medical field. I plan on going into teaching (went through the entire music ed program except for student teaching) because that was my plan before I became ill. I deal with multiple chronic illnesses but am on the steady and/or upslope to having everything managed. Are there doctors who still work and have chronic illnesses themselves? If so then what is some advice for someone who has chronic illnesses, but is interested in the medical field?

[@omgkutsu]

From an SLP, thank you for giving us a mention!

[@lexil508]

Can you do a video on the difference between MD, PA, and NP? I think that would be great.

[@femalesneakercollector7201]

Lexi Despaux PA and NP work under the MD. To be a NP you have to get a RN first. PA requirments are based off the school

[@lexil508]

femalesneakercollector I know the basic differences, I just like hearing more from someone who’s around them first hand. I’m trying to decide between the RN route to eventually get to NP or just going straight for PA.

[@guyarchibald2226]

What about DO

[@gregbelizaire8075]

Guy Archibald DO is essentially the same as MD in the sense that you’re a medical doctor. Different philosophies and slightly different training but both are physicians

[@victoriadowney8985]

Some schools have an accelerated 5 year PA program which is direct entry. If you're curious check out King's College in Pennsylvania!

[@lukasloukota8352]

I'd love to have this nice medicine students' educational programme in my country - because our students start work at hospitals from 3rd year at school, I think. (It's based on medicine students' community opinion.) This looks very interesting and helpful.

[@NurseLiz]

Loved all the WOMEN in your residency group! Nothing against the dudes of course 😉

[@justarandomgal2683]

I actually love it when I see male nurses. Nothing against female nurses. ^_^

[@michaelmeier8909]

So, girls that ''LOVE'' female doctors and male nurses.... coincidence or inferiority complex?

[@justarandomgal2683]

michael Meier Just because you may think nursing is some lower profession, does not mean that others do.

[@michaelmeier8909]

@@justarandomgal2683 Oh, so the general (and legal) consensus that doctors are higher ranked than nurses does not exist! Damn, you got me. Alert the social justice warriors! Relax, personally, I don't mind a bit of an inferiority complex on a girl(... it's not gonna suck itself, you know!) although it does kill the hope for any serious relationship. Here's a free medical opinion: don't get too worked up over comments on the internet. Have the nurse help you with the paperwork.
