Love how you show us different specialist you work with!!

As a speech language pathologist working at a hospital, It’s refreshing to hear a MD says to “learn” from us because we certainly don’t see a lot of doctors do that 😭😭 you are the best

Dietitian here! Thank you for letting your Followers see how teamwork is essential for great patient outcomes!

OMG thank you for including dietitians! Also thanks for explaining how Dietitians and Nutritionists are different! The majority of the public don't really understand that part. It would have been really cool to see the dietitian perform the NFPE (Nutrition Focused Physical Exam) to see how she came to the conclusion that the patient was malnourished but overall it was great!

It’s cool seeing what a speech pathologist and dietician does in the hospital 👏👏

Now that I just watched the video... I have NEVER thought about the swallowing process. It just happens so naturally! I have learned so much from this video and all your other vlogs. It is very interesting to meet new doctors and learn about their work. I am mostly impressed how you make me conscious about my body and my health. Thank you for that!

As a SLP who has been working in the field for almost 25 years, I appreciate you creating this video on so many levels! I am positive that I will be sharing this video with patients and families that have dysphagia! Wonderful job!

You should follow an Occupational Therapist & then a Physical Therapist around for a day too!!

As an SLP I’m so happy you made this video! People have so many misconceptions about what we do and why we do certain things, especially MBS (videoflouros). I love how you showed a clip for people to see the swallow in action! I love my job and the medical side of this field. Hopefully she doesn’t need a PEG tube and can rehab her swallow!

I get so excited when I see that notification 😀❤️

You will be an amazing medical leader. The respect you show to the whole health care team is outstanding. And you take the position and control of a leader and listen to the others on the team. A true role model for any aspiring doctor - not just young women.

I’m currently in my Master’s program for Speech-Language Pathology! Love watching the collaboration between you, the SLP, and the dietician! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Love when coworkers participate. Shows support for what you all are doing,helping others. Thank you for these videos 😁

The throat image/x Ray was sooo cool

As an SLP in the medical setting, I so appreciate this video!!! So many people have no clue what we do! Thank you for shedding light on dysphagia! It’s such a common problem that so few know about.

I am an Occupational Therapist. Have you considered doing a vlog with an OT and PT? Really love that you include other allied health professionals in your vlogs!!

I am a speech pathologist and I love that you show how our professions work together!

Can't wait for that 3rd year medical resident intro 👍

Thank you for shining light on what Dietitians actually do! I am in my clinical rotations now pursuing a career as a Crititcal Care RDN working in a clinical setting! Dietitians are licensed physicians and it was great to see us get the recognition we feel we deserve!

When I think SLP I think helping young children who struggle with speech in a school setting. It was nice too see an SLP's scope in the medical setting.

Thank you so much for stating that nutritionist and dietitians aren’t the same! I’m currently studying to become an RDN

Thank you so much for the clarification between dietitians and nutritionists! As I'm studying to be a dietitian I'm sometimes baffled by the lack of education one needs to call themself a nutritionist. This video was clear, informational, and fun to watch!!

As a speech-language pathologist, thank you so much for shedding light on our profession ❤️

As a current dietetics student I really appreciated the caption about the difference between registered dietitians and nutritionalists! I also love how much respect you show each health professional!

This is my favorite video of yours! I am an SLP who just got into PA school. It makes me so happy seeing other providers go out of their way to understand what SLPs do and respect their skills :)

I am an SLP and I absolutely LOVE that you filmed this and are bringing awareness to the field!! I also really appreciate that you highlighted that as a doctor you can still learn from consulting with an SLP or other professional!!

Lovely video Siobhan! I’m a UK dietitian and I think it’s great to see doctors taking an active interest in our profession, as well as our clinical role being promoted to a wider audience. Keep up the good work! ☺️ love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Okay but siobahn is literally goals. So pretty and sweet, a DOCTOR that had a nontrafitional route but managed to become a DOCTOR DID I SAY DOCTOR??? And her body is goaaalls

I love that you highlight different interdisciplinary roles in your videos and don’t just focus on physicians or even nurses. I think it’s super informative! You’re doing a wonderful job of educating others regarding the medical field 😊

I'm an x-ray technologist and I think it's so cool that you covered a modified barium swallow! Those were always interesting to watch when I was a student/working in the hospital. I love that you cover as many elements of healthcare as you can. Thank you so much for everything you do on this channel, on top of your already demanding job!

I work as a dietary aid in a nursing home and I'm so glad you're getting to see "our" side of things. We honestly have a hard job. Making sure everyone's liquids and foods are the right thickening and consistancy.

I’m a speech pathologist in the school setting! It’s so exciting to see someone who is interested in our career. A lot of people think we just work with children who can’t speak correctly. We do SO much more than that! Thank you for taking the time to educate people about our field. ❤️

I am in a speech pathology program in Texas and I was ecstatic to see that you had a video interacting with a hospital SLP! Thank you for this!

I LOVE this! As a nursing major, we often talk about the different roles in a hospital setting, but it’s refreshing to actually SEE what is being done for the patient behind the scenes. I love the display of teamwork! This is what healthcare should be like all the time!

I love this because it shows how the specialists helped my mom when she had a bad trigeminal Neuralgia attacks that made her not want to eat or drink. She started off with a feeding tube than ending up eating up to advanced minced diet and foods like muffins! Thank you for all that you do for patients!

When I had a stroke I was lucky enough that I was already in the ICU so I recieved the care I needed right away. Thank you for these inspirational videos 😘

I'm so happy you upload a new video! You inspire me to be a better person and student!

My grandpa had a stroke two nights ago. His speech was all messed up and refused to go to hospital. My mom is a Doctor so she talked him into it. It was so cool watching all the doctors and nurses and hearing the codes thanks to your videos!

I can’t thank you enough for making this video! Us dietitians and other ancillary health professions do a lot of important work and it’s so wonderful to be appreciated by our medical colleagues! :)

LOVED this video! I'm studying to become an SLP at the moment. It was so great to see the field represented in this way, and how much you listened to and seemed to appreciate the SLP's opinion. Thank you!

Omg I love that you have such a positive attitude. Happy doctor means happy patient

Definitely more dietetics videos! I recently changed my major and want to learn more!

as a therapist who works on a multidisciplinary team, i just want to say i love your enthusiasm for learning about what other members of the team do & the respect you have for everyones role :) wish more doctors were like you!

I would love to see you follow around a social worker! They play a different role in the hospital than just medical professionals, so it would be interesting to see

I love this ! I am actually studying to become a speech pathologist and just felt a sense of pride seeing how rewarding my field is :)

I'm a nurse that is addicted to your channel! Seriously, I've only discovered your channel probably like 2 weeks ago and I cannot stop watching your videos. I wish we would be able to work together but I live in the UK, lol. You use little to no makeup but you are so pretty, your soul is beautiful and you have such a bubbly personality, despite being tired or worn out! Your videos always cheer me up. They are so educational and interesting, I really love to see the differences between the two countries and I am simply amazed at how open minded and comfortable people are in front of the camera, it's awesome :D ... In here you are not allowed to film in the hospital, let alone vlog and show someone's face on social media while at work, lol. But I am very happy that you can do that so please, don't stop uploading videos!!! xoxoxo

I watch quite a few medical professionals on KZfaq, and I gotta say you’re my favourite. You’re very humble, you don’t act like some sort of God for being a doctor! I love how you continue to learn, and show us how the hospital depends on the WHOLE team and that you all have an equally important role in how the hospital is run :) keep on kickin ass girl! ❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed this video! I had no idea how closely doctors worked with speech pathologist and dietitians or how important their jobs are! I would love to see more collaborations like these!!!

I love how educational your videos are but fun at the same time. As a doctor, it was interesting to see what is actually done when we order these investigations.

I'm an SLP. Thanks for this. The hardest part is getting patients to drink thickened liquids when they're appropriate and safest. Love Magic Cups!

Thank you so much for wanting to learn from other professions! As an SLP myself, I am constantly learning from ENTs, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, dietitians, teachers, dyslexia specialists, etc. - Because the SLP field is sooo vast, it is hard for people to understand what exactly we do...I feel like we probably don't even know what all we do lol! :)

I can’t wait until I’m a doctor too:)

Yay!!! I love how you actively try and showcase interdisciplinary care on your channel. It's awesome to see :)

GIRL I AM FANGIRLING SO HARD! I'm in my masters program to become an SLP and I love this video so much! Thank you so much for taking the time to work with these professionals and learn about their side of stroke care, especially regarding nutrition and dysphagia. It's a field that so many are unaware of but is SO vital to a patient's recovery. Love it!

I love this video, as a nurse it is so great to see how all these team work to come to a final plan. Addicted to you channel. Thank you for your amazing videos!

This is wonderful! (fellow Speech and Language Therapist in the UK here) Thank you for raising awareness of our role and swallowing deficits x

I am a stroke survivor and I loved hearing how you handled this situation!

Seeing the food going down was awesome! You’re literally the best doctor on KZfaq you’re always learning and showing us new things

So inspired by seeing the respect you have for various disciplines needed in the hospital. I am currently in school and my overall goal is to become a registered dietitian. It was amazing to see and I would love to see more with RD's!

more of the SLP!!! I am super interested in that field!!

If I ever go to the hospital in Canada, I hope you're my doctor :)

I’m also a clinical dietitian (in the Netherlands) and this video is pretty accurate and relatable. The multidisciplinary consultation is so important in these situations. It’s nice to see how this works in Canada. A lot of people think that dietitians only treat people who are obese, but it’s so much more than that! In fact, the most patients I treat are malnourished. Treating these patients, who also often have a cormobidity that you have to take into account, is very challenging!

As an SLP student this was awesome to witness and the scope of practice of an SLP in a hospital setting. Awesome work!

I'm currently studying to become an SLP, so watching this process of collaboration within the hospital setting was so exciting! Swallowing is a complex process but it happens so seamlessly for so many of us that we often take it for granted. Thanks for this, you're such an inspiration!

Amazing video Siobhan! So insightful! My mum is a speech pathologist in the school system -it’s interesting to see how different the job can be in a hospital setting.

I love that you stay a student! There is always something new to learn, and I love that you truly enjoy the process. I wish you all the best! 🥰

From a fellow RD, I ove that you highlighted the difference between a Registered Dietitian vs. a nutritionist! Also love that the MD tried the barium test and ONS supplements. I could see the hesitation with the barium! Totally understand though lol

I love how cognizant you are of other health care professionals and the role they play in developing a patient care plan! As a hospital social worker this is sooooo much appreciated and I hope you teach this skill to your colleagues because it’s unfortunately not always something other doctors are aware and respectful of!

I'm an SLP and I can't thank you enough for showing our field in this wonderful way!!!!

This is awesome! As an RD, I truly love working alongside my SLP colleagues - they bring so much value to the team.

Occupational Therapist PLEASE! Our title is so ambiguous even doctors are deferring our orders to physical therapists for things out of their scope. Advocate for us!

I'm an SLP undergrad and I'm so glad you did this video! So insightful!

I have cerebral palsy, and due to several episodes of uncontrolled postoperative pain/bad doctor experiences as a teenager, I developed PTSD. I HATE hospitals, I can't even smell that institutional disinfectant smell without having a flashback. That I'm even watching your videos is a miracle, but I'm obsessed, and with every one I watch the trauma responses go down. So, thank you, Siobhan, so much. These mean way more than you know and have a positive impact beyond what you might think. xxx

I always appreciate when you do videos with other disciplines. It helps me understand what my students who want to go into those fields are going towards. :)

You're sooo well spoken! 🙌🏽 Pls. continue to inspire us! ☺️

I love how you experience the things your patients have to go through. Makes you empathetic and credible when you talk to them. Keep it up, Doctor!

i love how you are trying everything. Many doctors do not. It may seem like something small but when a patient knows you have tried it; it helps.

Hi Siobhan, I am a pharmacy student studying in the US. I just got done with the GI/nutrition module at school and it is so awesome to see the process (including things to monitor: such as refeeding syndrome, etc. ) in clinical practice. Thank you for the education! - Ivan

I’m a nursing student and I love your videos! You are truly an inspiration 💕🙏🏽

The biggest mistake any professional can make, is to disregard or look down on other disciplines such as us speech therapists.. Thanks for the video! ♥️

As an RT i cannot tell you how incredibly helpful these vlogs have been! It really wraps everything up into one coherent bundle that i can digest. Thanks so much and keep it up!

I’m currently a first year SLP completing my CF, and I miss the hospital setting so much. During my internship prior to graduation, I worked in a rehab hospital with a great deal of patients with dysphagia. I completely agree with the shakes and “ice cream” desserts tasting great, but a lot of my patients were simply discouraged about not being able to eat regular foods and drink thin liquids at the moment/anymore. It was tough for them to come to terms with their new normal and the only way they could drink their morning coffee was with two packets of thickener in it. At that point, it just doesn’t feel the same in their mouth especially if they already have sensory deficits. Not to mention, puréed macaroni and cheese or turkey and gravy doesn’t look appetizing. I found that just acknowledging their struggles really helped their buy-in to trying the thickened liquids and our swallowing exercises and strategies.

i want to be a paramedic but for some reason im absolutely obsessed with your videos! theyre so interesting and i find myself making notes most of the time haha :)

This is so cool! I'm glad I found this video. This gives an awesome insider perspective into how these professions function together in a healthcare setting and what each professionals role is. I want to be an SLP so I really appreciate this :)

I'm still in high school, but one day my dream job is to be an SLP. I love watching videos like this which show different aspects of the job. It just happens that my name is also Christina. I'll take it as a sign from above that I'm on the right path.

I saw your video a few years ago and made me want to become a speech pathologist. Now I’m in my second year of college pursing speech pathology. Thank you! 😂

I always get excited when I see your videos!!! I learn many things !!!❤️❤️

Thank you for showcasing an aspect of the path of SLP 😍😍 . Speaking from my own experience as someone who is pursuing the path of becoming an SLP, everyone always asks me what the field is and what SLPs do and so this is truly a great depiction of one of the many things SLPs do ❤️

I’m a decently new RN on a med-surg floor, and I honestly had no idea that this is what dieticians and SLP’s do! So interesting and informative, I’m loving these types of videos. Keep it up!

Congratulations on 300,000 subscribers! This channel has so much more potential then others. Keep up the good work Siobhan! You deserve it girl, ❤

I'm late to the show! I have been binge watching your videos for the past twenty four hours! May I offer a patient's view of the SLP? Twelve years ago after a right side CVA, my SLP during our sessions together discovered that although I could read a written very well, I was demonstrating an inability to comprehend what I was reading. SLP's help stroke patients to relearn to think clearly, follow instructions. Re- use our mouths correctly. Tongue exercises to help swallowing .They do too much for one video. Love your videos!

I’m in my last year of undergrad for speech pathology! So happy you filmed this! Love your videos 💓

Oh man, these videos are my happy place. You're so bubbly and personable and sweet and it helps push off the depression. I got so excited when I saw that notification, I needed this so much today.

Thank you for this awesome video! I'm in the midst of my dietetic internship (currently in the ICU of a major hospital) and you've shed a (much needed) light on dysphagia! Your videos are brilliant, and I can't wait to dive into the research you've put out on using KZfaq as an informative medium. Thanks for all you do for the healthcare world! Xx

as someone who aspires work in dietetics and has seen many speech language pathologists during my treatment (cleft lip and palate), this title really caught my attention! I loved seeing the test! unfortunate but very interesting...

Amazing! I love seeing the interaction between different health care professionals! Medicine really is a team sport!

LOVE THAT YOU GOT TOGETHER WITH THE SLP. I’m studying to be an SLP, and feel that people often forget that we play a role in hospital settings ! Love this ! Thank you

These videos with all the different health professionals are brilliant Siobhan. It's amazing how many people it takes to get a patient well again, would love to see more. Kudos to you all for the work you do

I was 40 in March. I had a cryptogenic stoke on March 11th, 2019. I was in the ICU in Barrows Desert in Phoenix for 7 days. I, luckily, had a thrombectomy that saved my life. I’m now back to work part time and only my speech is impaired now. (Most won’t notice my speech impediment). I couldn’t swallow at first. I had suppositories for medication. My swallowing and physical deficits can back fast, but it was the thrombectomy. I understand how crippling this life could be. I pray for your patient and love your videos! I’ve now had 5 surgeries. Loop recorder implant, PFO closure, endometrial ablation, and cardiac ablation within 4 months. It was sad and chaotic. I’m so glad to be back to my normal life (mostly).

Thanks so much for doing the video about SLPs! That’s what I plan to become so it’s helpful to have an insight on what they do in this setting!
