I was so excited hearing you say “A 4th year Medical Resident, specializing in Rheumatology” 🌹 -I love your videos, as you can see I’ve been binge watching for a week, even re-watching them🦋

Fun to learn about you as a person, Siobhan. You make the world a better place!

“Hey guys! I’m Siobhan, a fourth year medical resident studying rheumatology.” The new intro is amazing! Couldn’t be happier for you Siobhan! All the best for the future :)

As a nurse, I'm happy to see a doctor that is so passionate about what she does and she smiles throughout the whole video. I'm glad the world has doctors like you! I just discovered your videos and I feel so proud of you! You definitely make the world better with your intelligence, skills and passion!

You are absolutely delightful to watch. If I lived in Canada I would want you as my doctor-your compassion, caring, intelligence, and love for what you do shines through in every video. Thank you for being who you are.

I’m just picturing every Canadian ICU with a glass case that says “break in case of emergency” and it contains a blakemore and a football helmet🤣

The football helmet is common practice in almost every ICU and also is common in well equipped ER's, but in the case of our local hokey ER I don't believe they would have them available ever!! A must for ICU' s and ER's!!

You are how I aspire to be- so sweet, always kind and composed

I can totally see you being an educator as well. I was in nursing school and majority of my professors were just reading off notes and never really explained things the way we would understand so majority of us had to relearn at home and in the library!

I love your enthusiasm for rheumatology. I just pray you keep that spirit. Too many rheumatologists in the US are so jaded and don't listen to their patients. I have been battling an undiagnosed issue for years. I finally got a rheumatology referral and was excited to go. I have a family history of autoimmune disorders and have all the classic vague symptoms. I spent about 20 minutes giving a thorough patient history and list of symptoms. He did a cursory physical exam, and then proceeded to tell me it was not rheumatological because my ANA was negative. He then, with a straight face, told me I may just have to learn to live with my symptoms without a diagnosis. That was it. I was stunned and disappointed.

A football helmet was once used on a patient in the emergency. He needed this procedure done and he was a football player who collapsed on the field and was rushed into the casualty. There was no helmet available in casualty, just the tubing. Patients relative suggested he go to the car and get his helmet which was used exactly like you did. It has become the accepted alternative to use in an emergency. Keep up with the videos. Love them. Thanks from Janet in South Africa.

It’s nice to be someone who’s a “high achiever” say you can’t do everything and you need to check in with yourself once in a while

I have watched SO MANY videos already, last video I watched she was on the 1st of residency, and now she's on the 4th.. time flies 🤪

Crazy how you’re at your 4th YEAR now, I remember when you were still in your 2nd year.. gosh time really does fly by

You have a very positive and calming presence, I’d be thrilled if someone like you walked in the door to help me. Thank you for giving us peace during this scary time.

You’re so amazing. Very articulate, smart, CANADIAN, and just so beautiful. We love you Siobhan!

My ICU has a hockey helmet in the storage room for blakemore tubes aswell!

We hit 700k!! 🎊 ☺

she is glowing in every video

I WAS AN critical care nurse and what you are sharing I have experienced many times. Scary the first time, but the need to stay very focused throughout focused my remembrance of horror are wiped away. You told us that action so clearly. Thank you.

Bananas to think about how I started my time at college with you as a FIRST year resident with a boyfriend! Now youre here almost in fellowship with a HUSBAND! So fun to be on this journey with you Siobhan!

As a "zebra" (I have a form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and premed student, I cannot help but feel excited about your choice of specialty. After years of chronic pain and other mysterious, seemingly unrelated symptoms (which were often dismissed stress-related, among other things), my rheumatologist was able to solve the mystery. Watching your content for the last few years has been so inspirational, and I am certain that you will be a force of good for so many patients.

I love the backpack idea! Thank you for being such an upbeat person, Siobhan. I have had several bad experiences with doctors, damaging my trust in them, eventho I know not all are the same: it’s hard to just ignore your own experiences.

A diversion here : The lead picture on this vid hits home for me. The last few minutes my Father, my age, threw up blood in the sink. He 🚬 and 🍸, always stressed. When Drs. Ask me what cause of death was I say, 'he threw up blood in the sink.' This is why I'm obsessed with sustenance. Never squared what the actual cause was. Thank you for the 'Ask the Doctor' presentation. Siobhan, be safe n' be well!

Wow🥰I found a doctor who’s vlogging in Canada ❤️I was actually hospitalized in Sick Kids for 3 Days because of Chest Pain. Just this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday....I AM VERY THANKFUL TO ALL MY NURSES, DOCTORS, PEDIATRICIAN AND MORE...ESPECIALLY MY NURSES❤️THEY WERE ALL CARING AND VERY NICE🥰BECAUSE OF THAT I WANTED TO GO BACK TO HOSPITAL😅I KNOW IT SOUNDS WRONG BUT I JUST MISS HOW CARING THEY WERE❤️😍ANYWAYS ALWAYS BE SAFE!?!?HOPE Y’ALL HAVE A NICE DAY

Hi Siobhan. I love that I came across your channel. I am pursuing med school and also graduated from IU as well. And the craziest thing about this video is I met Mauricio and his wife as I helped take care of him as a patient of mine in the ED. This kind of came full circle because his wife had asked me if I was a doctor or planned to go to medical school, and then said that I need to study with Mauricio because he has had many students of his go on to med school. What a small world this is and what a coincidence I came across both of you.

Oh my god she answered my question first!!!!!!

I am a RN I am a psoriatic arthritis and I love your channel..i work in a desk job now but I was a RN clinical supervisor in a busy hospital for 34 years and I love your energy...i miss being with the patients..i LOVED the GI bleed story...it was great...i miss those days,,, but I can't do that anymore because my arthritis and some other health issues but your stories are great..i love your energy it makes me happy

I could totally see you as a surgeon, but I’m so happy you found your dream specialty!

Oh, Siobhan. You are just gorgeous. Please don't ever lose your bubbly personality and spark! Thank you for giving us insight into your lives (you and your husband) and work And a MASSIVE thank you, and all drs, nurses and patient assistants and carers worldwide for dedicating your lives to help other people in the world. I spent a year in hospital after being given 0% of survival and going through absolute hell and back several times over and 99% of the people I had contact with were lovely. (I'm Australian 🇦🇺, just to randomly add). Never lose your shine. You have fans and distant friends you dont even know (lol) for life. Have a great day!

I remember being in the emergency room when I was a young fellow here in New Brunswick. I specifically remember seeing a football helmet in there. Just assumed a foot ball player was in there. Never guessed it would of possibly been for that

I was so happy to hear you say a 4th year medical resident! So happy for you, I love your channel! You have inspired me to pursue a career in medicine.

You are always so cheerful, I can only imagine how amazing your bedside manner is. I bet all of your patients adore you

A rheumatologist and dermatologist saved my life by catching my juvenile dermatomyositis so young!! people like y'all are so critical and important!! we need you!!

I’m so happy to see your smiling face, Dr Siobhan! Say hi to Dr Mark and have a wonderful day!

I’d love a podcast on internal medicine! Like ward rounds: presentations and treatments

Hi Siobhan

I am a nursing student from China working in Canada, and I am glad I found your channel and it is very informative. Thank you. I like your Violin playing.

I have been watching your videos for a while now and I got so excited when you said 4th year medical resident specializing in rheumatology! So happy for you! Love your videos!

We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an excellent video and we learned a lot. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

I love hearing you talk. Your voice makes me feel happy.

Thank you for going into Rheumatology. I've been seeing one every since I was a year old. It's a doctor that most patients have to drive far to see, either because of insurance or because there just isn't one near by. I know that Pediatric Rheumatologist are really needed and often even harder to see because of distance and there's not alot of them. When I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatold Arthritis at the age of 18 months back in 1977, my parents drove and an hour to the biggest city for treatment. I also remember getting blood work and x-rays there as well. I've heard of kids who have had to drive a couple hours one way if they lived really far from a big city, We didn't get a local Rheumatologist who would see a child until 10 years later. Even till this day there's only one Rheumatologists in a town of 96,000 people but she is out of network, my in network doctor is an hour away. I would say out of the many Rheumatologists that I've seen through out my life about three of them I've felt really happy with and they've all been women, again that's just my experience. I've have awful experiences with male Rheumatologists, don't know why. Again, thank you going into this specialty. I would love to have you as my doctor. Any child would too.

I wondered what the football helmet in our surgical icu was for, and now I know!! I’m an icu pharmacy technician and have ALWAYS wondered but haven’t ever had the courage to ask!

We all love you Siobhan! ❤️💜

Working on a team alongside medical students, residents and fellows- I can say you seem like a truly wonderful doctor. The Canadian medical system is lucky to have you.

Siobhan gives total Winnie Cooper vibes. She is natural and beautiful but also the "girl next door"-completely approachable! She rocks it!

I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning and to hear you say “4th year..” is just awesome! Also, the backpacks are an awesome thing to recognize fellow med students. Hope you and Mark are staying safe!

I am so glad I found this vlog. Seeing someone so dedicated to the medical profession and such a caring, positive person makes me hopeful for the future. Being in the USA means we are not very aware of what differences exist between US & Canada re: medical training. I spent 47 years in a hospital Lab with specialty in Blood Banking and we had very little actual interaction with the physicians. I have always thought that patients would be better off if all departments worked as more of a team. Thanks again for your awesome videos.

when you said listen to your inner voice, i closed my eyes and idk how to describe it but i directed my attention inwards and felt my inner self glow and so much anxiety that i've been carrying today went away. i appreciated that :)

My goodness you are one amazing human being! In every way possible. Just so humble and hard working! Well done! There needs to be more people like you in this world! 😊

Hey Siobhan, since you have had time in internal medicine I was curious if you've ever had a patient with Dysautonomia? I have "general Dysautonomia"; POTS, IST, OI, NCS. Here in the US there are only a few medical schools that teach about this autonomic disorder so finding a doctor who has ever heard about it is like finding a needle in a haystack. I have found the only doctors that have heard of it tend to be in internal medicine. Thank you for the life saving work you do! Stay safe on the front lines.

I am so proud of you Siobhan!!!! I feel like a proud Mom watching you achieve all of your dreams. I still say you need to move to Oklahoma so you can be my Rheumatologist.....You can bring Mark. There are plenty of Obstetric patients here too.

You are so calming. I came across your videos while I was fighting covid and they were such a Good source of info and much needed distraction❤️thanks so much and I too will be listening for my inner voice!

I am currently a Nursing Student. Atm doing pre reqs. Hoping to become a ICU or ER nurse. And maybe in the future a Nurse Practitioner. Your passion for medicine has made mine grow founder. And get more and more excited to hopefully start nursing school soon. You literally are a idol of mine.

So proud to hear you say 4th year medical resident! Been with you since the 1st year. The ICU at the hospital I precepted at also used a football helmet for securing the blakemore tube.

I can't even say how delightful her video, her character and her career and hobbies are. Stay safe girl. And stay amazing.

Hey, I saw the violin piece that you and Mark did together. I can't believe that he also plays violin.

Thank you so much. You really touch my life in many ways. Listening to our inner voice is so important. You are such an inspiration. Thank you!! I got my TKR knee replacement surgery. The LONG road to recovery. Much love Cheers.

Loved rheum! One of my favorite rotations. Had to learn sooo much. Definitely solving mysteries! It was so fun incorporating so many organ systems, studies, imaging all for one diagnosis. Glad you found what you love!

You’re so fun to listen to and watch! To call you smart is a huge understatement. We need more physicians just like you!

stay safe Doc !

Your videos have kept me sane through a lot. I decided to accept the call of being a surgeon a little over a year ago and I didn’t have an overwhelmingly supportive group surrounding me. Your videos have kept my hopes alive and I really appreciate you showing what your path in medicine has looked like. Thank you.

I hope this doesn't get lost in the comments but it might. When you were talking about the best piece of advice, I instantly thought of my grandfather (May be rest in piece) who said, very similarly: your inner voice is God whispering to you. You just have to listen.

I have Ellers Danlos Syndrome do you see that a lot. I had a cardiac arrest a little over six years ago, and have lots of aches and pains but I'm dealing with everything pretty well. Thanks for all your videos they are entertaining.

I’ve said this before...you’re so sweet and so bubbly. I wish every dr I met had your temperament. Thanks for sharing Mark with us!

I am so touched when you mention ” Follow your inner voice” - yes indeed it’s a best advice!

Like, I teared up when I heard how you and Mark met. It's like it's out of a movie but, it was REALITY for you! :')

I so admire your smile and how you always seem so happy! It’s nice to know that you have chosen the field of Rheumatology. I live in the USA and unfortunately it’s very difficult to find someone in that field that seems Confident and knowledgeable. I suffer with an autoimmune Disease called Sjogren’s and very few rheumatologist in my area seem to have an understanding of what that all involves. I wish you the best of luck. I’m sure you will bless many Patients along your journey. Much love, Tracy

I love this Q&A video. :) Your voice has a soothing, story-teller quality to it that I find very comfortable and comforting. You actually made me tear up with that last answer; never lose your love for your passions! ❤🎻

i love your personality so much. Siobhan u are so amazing, thank u for keeping spirits high in a crazy world!

I love how positive you are.

Hi Siobhan! Finally the new intro I love it and been waiting for it! Purple is my favorite color too! Stay safe! 💜

"HI, I'm Siobhan, a 3rd year medical resident" *meme of the person laughing* "HI, I'm Siobhan, a 4th year medical resident" *lasers come out of his eyes*

Mark is a natural on camera. Love your channel

I really love this video. That is super great that you and your husband both love playing the violin. It also touched my heart to hear when you told about your former professor.

I really liked the way you did this q&a with you taping the people asking the questions. Can you do more like this please

Yay! Love your videos. I start medical school Monday! I started my channel because I loved seeing your content and wanted to be able to look back on my journey in a similar way. Great video as always!!!

How amazing does that sound! Remember when it was I"m a first year resident' ? You've worked so hard and shared your long journey so well that it doesn't actually seem that long, it's flown by It's been a privilege to share it with you, I'm sure we would all agree and are very proud of you Siobhan.

Having Lupus myself, it’s refreshing to see someone so excited about rheumatology 🖤 i sure wish I lived closer to you!

I wish I had you as a teacher when I was in my graduate program. You are so descriptive and exciting to listen to! ❤️

When I worked in the ICU 25 years ago we used a football helmet with the Blakemore catheter. Thanks for another great video!

Holy molly fourth year medical resident holy molly good work thank you for keeping our family and all we love healthy @Violin MD

Honestly can’t believe it’s been 4 YEARS since you started medical school Keep it up

Hi Siobhan just wanted to say I have been watching since the start of your channel. It warms my heart to see how much you love your work in the medical field but also how much you care for your patients. Keep up the great work!

It's nice to see such a beautiful smile on your face. Keep smiling dear Lot's of love

This channel has changed my life. Siobhan, you are the most positive person! Your enthusiasm for life and your profession is inspiring and I strive to emulate that in my life and career. Also, congratulations on entering your 4th year! 😁

Looking forward to this! Congratulations on hitting 700K subscribers Doctor!

I just love your personality. I wish you were my doctor, every time!

Waiting for that violin duet with Mark 😊❤️

Your one of my fave people ever. Your so kind and actually care about people. I go on call shift video binges all the time and love then so much. Ur awesome

One of my seniors from my school managed to get into medical school, so I recommended your channel to her!

No way!! You studied with Mauricio ! I am a pianist but I remember accompanying and meeting a lot of his students when he was doing masterclasses in France. We must know so many musicians in common. He is the most delightful man and I learnt so much from him not only about violin but about great musicianship ❤️ !

I remember when you said I'm a second year resident. Time flies.

You are such a bright shiny human in this seemly grey world atm so thanks for shearing your smile today! I wish you and mark well, be safe! 🤗💖

Your positivity is so amazing and addicting to watch! Thanks for making such great videos about healthcare.

I just found you and enjoy your videos. I'm a retired nurse practitioner and also play the violin. It's good to know a young person like you is going into medicine in Canada. Greetings from South Carolina!

Love Siobhan all the way from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️

omg i love your videos you seem like the sweetest person

Siobhan! Been watching from the early beginnings! Congratulations on breaking 700 thousand subs!

I'm so glad to hear you say a 4th year medical resident great job keep it up you've made it so far
