I have rheumatoid arthritis, and my rheumatologist is a wonderful doctor. I'm so grateful for her. She is the one that diagnosed me, and found out the reason that I had so many problems that no one else seemed to be able to figure out. Until my diagnosis, a lot of people thought I was just faking sickness. Many people just look at you and say well you look like you're healthy. So I am grateful for people like you.

[@jennnnn911]

Can you explain what some of your symptoms have been? I relate to this and it was brought up to me that I should possibly look into it so jw.

[@denisehaddix6646]

@@jennnnn911 are you referring to my neurological symptoms? On my rheumatoid arthritis or my psoriatic symptoms? I have all of that plus I have problems with my kidneys and problems with incontinence that's with my bladder and my rectum. So I am not sure what you want me to talk about and I am willing to do so you'll just have to narrow down what your needing to know.

As a person with RA, I thank you for choosing this specialty. There aren’t enough Rheumy’s out there!

It is so interesting being a rheum patient and seeing a physician’s perspective on my disease. Thanks Siobhan, hope you guys are staying safe and healthy!

I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (diagnosed when I was two) and my Rheumatologist basically watched me grow up and kept me out of a wheelchair. This is amazing. Best of luck in your career!

I'm a trainee biomedical scientist and only yesterday I was looking into the clinical details of scleroderma - so this is really helpful ^.^ I'm in Immunology so we look at autoimmune diseases which I find fascinating

Have you heard of Takayasus arteritis?

[@srirachapasha]

I'm a first year medical student and I have been extremely fascinated with and intrigued by rheumatology ever since I took the module. It is such a privilege for us to get to see what we learn in med school applied clinically through your videos. Thank you Dr for sharing your patients' stories with us!

[@trigonometrisk]

My father has been a rheumatologist since the 1980’s. His only regret is that he has to retire someday. Great specialty.

[@tasholi]

As a nurse who works in a much smaller hospital I love that you all went on a hunt for your own supplies. Where I work it would 99% of the time be up to nursing staff to track down the supplies for the doctor.

The office supplies should be in alphabetical order.

[@angelinacarralez7056]

I was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2011. my coworker noticed my fingers had a blue tint and told me to go in. It’s so rare to see other patients like me. I couldn’t help but cry when I seen the beginning of this video. Keep doing great doctor work. It’s not easy to find ones like you. I have had nothing but awful experiences with kaisers all over California. In the process of trying to get coverage for UCSF.

[@AskBobnFran]

Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. The videos you present are very helpful.

[@leblade499]

I’m new to this community, only watched a few videos, I’m a med student in Turkey and can’t really see myself as a doctor 😅 but watching these videos gives me motivation because even though it’s obviously hard and is a high stress job it looks fun and I think she does a great job at balancing patient privacy and educational content as well as making it look easy even though it honestly is incredibly difficult. I’ve always been told real masters of their work make it look easy, though she may not be a “true” practicing physician yet I’m fairly sure with her love of the art of medicine and her determination will quickly lead to her success. Keep up the good work, you’re a role model for me and many others like me

[@joanhoffman3702]

When someone has a lot of experience and practice doing something, it can look easy to an outsider, but it may have taken years to get to that point. Here's a story I heard some years ago: there was a teacher who was know to be a highly skilled painter. One day, his students came to him and said, "Master, paint us a bird." The master swished his brush across the paper, and there was a bird. "So quick!" the students said. "Yes," said their teacher, "but it took me 20 years to paint that bird." There are many different areas of medicine to explore, and you don't always know which one is right for you. If you can, ask established medical personnel questions about their field. Read books by doctors who talk about their experiences. If you can find it, I highly recommend In Stitches by Dr. Anthony Youn. He's a plastic surgeon who discovered his passion during a pediatric rotation. He talks about medical school and residency. I work in a large bookstore and I recommend his book to premed and med students. Whatever you end up doing, do your best! Regards from the U.S.

[@nintando]

@@joanhoffman3702 Dr. Youn also has a youtube channel!!

[@leblade499]

@@joanhoffman3702 Thank you for your advice, I have read a few books by doctors and I love learning about their experiences and decisions that helped them develop into who they are today, it kind of drove me towards developing an interest in the surgical field, I will definitely search for the book authored by Dr. Youn, I watched a few of his videos and they’re also really interesting. The story you mentioned is actually really cool, it kind of puts everything into perspective when you think about you, it took me 23 years to be able to say I’m a 3rd year med student in Turkey, in maybe 10 more years I can say it took me 33 years to be able to suture that leg... makes me feel young yet old weirdly enough. I hope you have a happy healthy life!
