Discovered this channel a week ago and I’ve probably watched 30 videos already. I love the insight they’ve given me into what hospital staff go through. In some ways this makes me want to work in a hospital and I’ve never had an interest in medicine.

[@MedBros]

I can't believe there's actually a "bang head here" sign posted on the wall for stress reduction! And it even has directions written at the bottom lol.

[@ViolinMD]

I know!!! Haha 😂 it’s not in a patient area though...

I love that you explain what the medical words and terms mean. Still being a senior in high school it really helps me, and kind of makes me feel like I know a little bit about medicine before I even start my pre-med/med school route! :)

[@AliceCullen151]

Very interesting. It's cool that your friend and your boss agreed to film a small part involving them. How is it with filming in the hospital?

[@ViolinMD]

Anna Nowak - I agree people have been great and really supportive! We all have the personal ethics around patient confidentiality which is so important!

[@AliceCullen151]

Violin MD :) Excellent work!

[@nayleenable]

@@ViolinMD you look like the volutter cousner where I ride horses

[@shaleykhan1703]

You work so hard but you still have smile on your face. That's amazing ❤️

[@steez_rocky4472]

I recently broke my finger and had surgery. Ever since then I have wanted to be an orthopedic hand surgeon. When I discovered your channel I wanted to become a surgeon even more. You make me believe in myself so much. You also give amazing tips. I love you so much! Keep up the good work!🦄😀 Omg she replied guys!!

[@ViolinMD]

Great to hear from you Zachary! Really happy to hear you are enjoying the vlogs and feel motivated to become a doctor!

[@steez_rocky4472]

Omg thanks Siobhan! Can I have a shoutout please

[@newchannelrandomnumbers6732]

I know this comment is from 5 years ago but you shouldn’t reveal your age online

[@jadecford]

hey siobhan, if it’s okay can you please keep doing more of the debriefs and patient encounters that i saw in a video not too long ago, i really loved hearing about the actual illness or issue that you had to face, because sometimes it’s like ‘i just went and saw a patient and now i’m going to see another one’ without actually saying what you had to deal with and i just find it all so fascinating so i would love to hear more of these! :)

[@EncryptingJava]

I am impressed that you can record, and do your job at the same time. Your very professional. Keep up your great work!

[@anniz2]

I really like learning what doctors and nurses schedules are like! I really do feel that they do not get paid enough for the amount of work they do!!! Also I subscribed just on the base that she is so nice and just an amazing person who clearly loves what she does!! Keep up the good work!

[@ViolinMD]

aw thanks Annie!

[@alessandra9324]

You are such an inspiration! Thank you for showing us your world as a doctor! I‘m a veterinary student(4th year - we have 6 years in total) from Austria and it‘s so interesting to see where similarities are between our jobs. I‘m going to do a semester abroad to South Africa and already so nervous because we have to treat there our patients alone (but also under supervision if we are unsure) and I can‘t imagine doing that in less than half a year 😄 I hope I will be such a nice and positive doctor (or dogtor?) like you are!! :)

[@kgames7343]

I love your channel. I work as an RMT and I hear from my clients all the time about what they have gone through in the hospital. Its nice to have this perspective, you are a breath of fresh air.

[@maddiecrozier2059]

I enjoy watching your channel so much! I am a Nursing Major in college now and it is so interesting how internal medicine with med school differs from nursing but also has some similarities!

[@ellyprusinowski9459]

I have been following your channel since the beginning and I have loved to see you grow! Your videos get better and better each time and I love watching them. I am a senior in HS going pre-med next year and you inspire me so much!

[@ViolinMD]

wow thanks for letting me know that Elly - i really appreciate it! good luck in your last year of HS!

[@2801km]

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who enjoys this type of vlogs and watching it till you fall asleep?

[@reese5497]

DANG CLIFF HANGER. I AM GOING TO BE thinking abou thtis all week! great video

[@ViolinMD]

Thanks Reese!!

[@megawowmega]

I absolutely loved this video. I like it when more people are shown, and we get to see another point of view. Hope to see Carol again. Keep up the good work!

[@DrAdnan]

It's cool seeing a full day as you go along. I worry about starting rotations in a few months. Idk how y'all handle the responsibilities of being residents and handling a lot of stuff on your own.

[@ViolinMD]

don't worry Adnan, you can always reach out for help and there is always a team around who will work with you! that being said the transition does feel big!

[@DrAdnan]

Violin MD that’s comforting, thanks!

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

Ahh, no, KZbin docs do cliffhangers now? What is this?! Anyway, very cool to see your boss in the vid- if they're willing, it's great if you can get the chance to 'interview' them about their experiences being a doctor. I am so loving this channel!

[@cheermaddie]

I think it's great that your attending was supportive of you doing this!

[@Metalmandy8]

Ahhh the suspense! I can't wait to see mooooore

[@sophiaterry5962]

Yeye

[@tristanau4019]

G'day Siobhan, another wonderful video! I loved the format and different look at the ICU. The sign was hilarious and one I need here at my work. It would be interesting to do a video comparing what you and Carol have in your bag (is there a difference between 1st and 2nd year?) Very best wishes!

[@candylane1415]

Can you do a video with helping people decide if they either want to become a nurse or a doctor. It would help a lot, I’m stuck in that boat right now.

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Candy Lane - hmm that’s tough! I’ll think about how I can best help... since I’ve never worked as a nurse it’s hard for me to give a balanced opinion! I’ll think about it!!

[@thesarasiablack]

Violin MD here too I’m stuck in a boat 🙏🏾

[@Thelivinglifeshow]

Guys it’s an easy choice. Either you’re smart enough to do 12 years of school or you aren’t.

[@janedont63]

Me too

[@hayley9546]

Ahhhhh!!! I love seeing other people!! So fun, well, as fun as working in the icu can be.. lol thanks for another great video Siobhan!!

[@medivuiekkroswik3847]

Waiting for your vlogs every week is like waiting for a new episode of my favorite TV show. CANT WAIT FOR PART TWOOO 😆😆💖

[@StefBarber]

this remains one of my favourite videos (both parts). Love the connection between you and Carol.

[@megster0723]

I love watching your videos Siobhan!! You radiate so much joy and positivity and that brightens my day sooooo much!!!

[@marianneblack2688]

Each of your videos gets more creative! I like this style! And your hair is aaaamazinggg! ❤️

[@CarterSullivan]

It's so amazing to see Canadian medical KZbinrs, and Canadians in general!!! I'm heading into my last year of undergrad in Ottawa and am really looking into McMaster now after watching your videos.You seem really happy with the experience and really looking into PA school at McMaster or U of T. have you had any experience working alongside PA's yet? I know it's relatively new to the Canadian healthcare system but would love to know if you've come across any, since your area of Ontario has the only 2 schools in the province!

[@ariahynes7760]

I think that it's so interesting to see what it's really like in the hospital, and also from a canadian perspetive. So yeah, keep up your good work on youtube (even though you must already be so busy with residency!), it's really appreciated!!🙂

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Marianne - thanks for reaching out! Luckily you have time to explore lots of things in medicine... but I’m clearly biased that internal medicine is worth pursuing!!

[@mrsLemontree]

I am addiccted to your videos! Every single one is so interessting and they kinda keep me motivated to study for the exam we have to take in my country in order to study medicine! Wish me luck and keep on doing amazing stuff! Greetings

[@ramzimatar1710]

Enjoyed this, your videos are very capturing, well produced and are very interesting. Siobhan, would you be able to tell us about a medical case that you have been a part in, where the diagnoses was very difficult, and maybe shed some amateur science behind it, and maybe how you've learned from that experience......btw...If i ever do a day in a Civil Engineer's life, would you watch it? lol!

[@kathleencraigie4703]

SO.....you are just in your FIRST year following med school,....as in INTERNSHIP..... right??? Saw one of your other videos that seem to indicate a possible specialty in Cardiology. which, as a lay person, has been a area of fascination for me ever since I was growing up..... , same for hematology and immunology..... SO FASCINATING....and I just LOVE ANYTHING connected with the E.R. - Emergency!!! LOVE watching TRAUMA-LIFE IN THE E.R. They even did a few shows from DETROIT RECEIVING HOSPITAL.... Years ago, i read a book called, INTERN by DR. X. It was fascinating to me!!! YRS. BEFORE CABLE T.V., let alone the internet.... I just love watching your videos, love being able look around a real live hospital in a way most patients would never get the opportunity to do.... I would be bugging the medical staff to no end if I was ever to be in a hospital overnight for any reason. I live near DETROIT... Look up WILLIAM BEAUMONT HOSPITAL in ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN.... They have become a major cardiac oriented hospital.... . Look up U-M HOSPITAL.., ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN....

Hey Siobhan! It's SO COOL to see what's it's like working in a real hospital! It's silly but I absolutely LOVE Grey's Anatomy, and have become very interested in becoming a doctor or surgeon. I'm really interested in becoming a neonatologist, but not sure if that will ever happen, I know it's a ton of school!! I'm only 14 so I have time to decide of course, but seeing your videos wants me to become a doctor even more!! >ellie from new england❤️

Definitely remember when I was in the hospital one time I woke up in the middle of the night and it was hard to breath and stuff and there was a group overnight shifts I think some were students but they had the most store bought light ever and looked at me and stuff felt kinda creeped out but watching this I understand now
