I don’t even know how to start the process to become a doctor, and probably don’t have the confidence to actually go for it, but it’s awesome to see firsthand how it is for someone else. Thank you for uploading! 🙂🙂

[@scrumptious9673]

I read your comment saying you may not have the confidence to go for a career change. When you’re ready and you get an opportunity then totally consider a career in something you’re really passionate about. If you’re really passionate about a career in healthcare looking after others, and you’re ready for the challenges then definitely look at what’s out there. If you work hard and put your mind to it, you can go places. Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

[@angeemima]

same with people who work on ambulances! they pull those long shifts too!

[@anherogirl]

well, the call room/sleep room seems to be a nice setup for them:)

[@MarkTheTvGeek]

That 24 hr shift is already a blessing. Most residents in some hospitals (and in most countries) work for 24-36hrs every 2-3 days. Surgical residents usually work longer. It’s exhausting. Siobhan has a really good hospital setting for residents (excellent SOLO callroom, accessible fast food/cafe, and ample amount of patients). In where I work, we’re lucky to have 20 consults/admissions in a day. And we’re lucky if we even get to sleep for 2-3 hrs. Being a doctor is definitely the best and the worst job. But i would still choose this field everytime :)

LMAO Patient: WORST ABDOMINAL PAIN EVER. Doctor: so i think its acid reflux. LOL

[@cookie5172]

acid reflux can actually be crazy! I work as a lifeguard in a rec complex and we had to call an ambulance for a woman with severe acid reflux because she was showing similar symptoms to a heart attack. It was only when we did a follow-up call that we realized what it actually was. Never in a million years did I think it could be that bad until that happened!

[@amberarnold5795]

Acid is crazy. I went to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack( pain down left arm with numbness) it ended up just being GERDs.

[@deliriumi]

I've actually had such severe stomach pain from acid reflux I started crying from the pain and I've never cried because of any pain before

[@23Jpro]

I suffer from GERD and I get the worst and I mean the WORST Epigastric pain it feels like someone punched me in the gut. I literally cannot function when I get these episodes. Luckily my PCP has me on Daily Omeprazole and it’s controlled. And I’m an Undergraduate student looking to get in to MED school or PA School.

[@JilliMcW]

I already had an acid reflux (due to a lot of stress) and gastritis (due to taking an ibuprofen without eating beforehand) and to be honest it is the worst pain ever! Especially with gastritis, you can’t even eat yogurt without having really bad abdominal pain.

We are so lucky here all of our MDs electronically put in orders.

Hi Siobhan, I'm an Italian med student who watch lots of med vlogs from foreign countries. I have a question for you: I noticed that it is a common practice to organise 24h call shifts (or even longer!) and I am really concerned about it. In Italy no one would ever have such a long shift (I think that the longest shift is about 12h here) but it seems that we are the only ones who do not follow this shift organisation as it is shared by USA, Canada and even in South Korea! So I wonder why this 24/36/48h shifts aren't considered a threat to the patients' health. I think that it's physiological to be tired and less ready to treat a patient if you get a call in the middle of the night after having already been working for 20h (ok, they may not be 20h of continuative work as it depends on the numbers of calls but every shift is different...). Have you (and the physician community as well) ever thought about the possibility of asking for a reform of the shifts organisation? Aren't you afraid of making mistakes that could be avoided with shorter shifts? Are you all enough protected (talking about insurance policy)? By the way, I really enjoy your channel. Thanks a lot for the contents that you create to share with us your experience! Ps sorry for my English, I tried my best! Giulia

[@tangoz811]

Giulia Arrigo you should try it..and see for yourself

[@GiuAChannel]

aLaa aLi I would never have the chance to try such a long shift as here the law restricts the weekly and daily amount of working hours. That's why I was looking for an exchange of views!

[@GiuAChannel]

NSDM thank you so much for the clarification!

[@GiuAChannel]

Muffinsart we have call room and nightshifts even in Italy... The main difference is that the doctor who is on call, works from 8 pm to 7 am (generically speaking) instead of having a 7am to 7am shift! That was my biggest concern about this organizations.

[@MsStina84]

[@BhappyD]

I hope you have a wonderful vacation! Enjoy your time off, it's very well deserved! Loved this video, just like I love all of your videos. I get to live out my inner doctor through you lol! I have Mitochondrial Disease, which for me is progressive, degenerative, and ultimately terminal. I'm 24, but it's a miracle I'm still alive. At this stage, my disease is severe and affects nearly all of my organs and body systems, some are in failure, others close to it. I lost the ability to walk nearly six years ago, and the last few years I have become mainly bedridden. I have a J-tube for all nutrition and 24/7 meds, but due to my GI tract barely working anymore in terms of both motility and absorption, TPN is on the horizon. Anyways, for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a doctor. Perhaps it was because I grew up surrounded by doctors and hospital life, or perhaps not, but it has always been my passion. At the age of two I somehow figured out how to mute the tv and watch surgeries (and memorize them), much to my parents surprise 😂 haha! I became too sick to continue going to school (which I loved, and was always passionate about my studies) and had to finish out my junior and senior year of high school at home teaching myself everything (in addition to the times I did my schooling from home sporadically throughout all my years of education). I was accepted into college, but ultimately was forced to turn it down. But that doesn't stop me from studying medical literature and textbooks any chance I get. Medical channels like your help me to feel not so disconnected with my dream. In fact, yours is my very favorite, as you explain and film things so well that it truly feels like I'm there with you! So I just wanted to say a *BIG* thank you for all you do! It's amazing that you are so passionate about sharing your journey with all of us, despite your insanely busy schedule. You have no idea how much your videos impact my life. All of your patients are truly blessed to be in your care, as I know from experience how rare it is to have a doctor just as exceptional and caring as you! You have that rare light that just radiates onto others! I wish you nothing but the best, and have no doubt that you will accomplish anything you desire! God bless you! 💗🙏🏻💗

Even long trained physicians carry reference books and ask peers, but really it’s all about experience and repetition. Honest, you’ll see a lot of the same things over and over again, or you’ll see others see the same thing five times. Putting everything down helps. Write constantly. Read constantly. Soon it’ll be like anything else- like listening to a familiar song, only it’s the way your pt is breathing xD

Reference books and retention of the information you actually need. When you hit residency (disclaimer, I only work with docs, I'm not one) you learn what you need to retain and what can be safely discarded. For example, surgeons need to have a deep knowledge of anatomy, but not necessarily as much about endocrinology, or neonatology, or crit care. You learn the most from the people in residency who teach you hands on

Samantha Zoma I’m guessing it’s like regular school, where you study and take notes. Doctors and nurses don’t tell you this but they sometimes have to look up conditions or get other doctors opinions.

Samantha Zoma don’t be fooled by those TV doctors in your dramas. They only exist in very small percentage 😂 but from experience, i usually surprise myself when i face trouble. everythung suddenly comes back to you.

You relate with me so much rn - you're my hero! Working in a hospital system *_and_* living the life of a night shifter. Rarely do ppl understand what that life is like until they've lived it - living our lives *_opposite_* of the daytime/regular business hrs ppl. Sometimes, I do wonder though - how did our parents/previous generations do it _before_ 24-hour supermarkets, superstores, ATMs, etc. Even still, there are still something's that need to be done in the daytime, and having to disrupt your regular sleep schedule around it is so painful sometimes. And if you're on-call and happen to get called in that night, or your normal day off, well... *_damn!_*

[@kellynorman9270]

I too feel that pager life! I just work in a totally different line of work. Mine is only for the protection historic buildings and objects though instead of actual humans. In fact seeing yours go off made me look at mine in instinct. However, love the video and will probs now get sucked into binge watching the rest.

[@frammus]

I’m an RN. How do I find docs as nice as you to work with?

[@michaelmeier8909]

Do doctors in your hospital also manage to sleep during their shifts? Most hospitals are much more undermanned than hers.. maybe that has to do with it?

[@renelikukk4868]

Move to canada.

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

You are such a nice Doctor..if only the 99.9% would be as kind and compassionate as you are..maybe we would be happy to go to the hospital! it seems like this is in your blood!!
