David P 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity!”)

Just a little side note if anyone is experiencing a stroke: It's always best to call an ambulance rather than driving yourself or have someone drive you because not all hospitals are stroke certified. This means there might not be a neurologist available or the hospital may not be equipped to handle stroke cases. Ambulances and paramedics are trained to know the nearest stroke certified hospitals so they can get you where you need to be so treatment isn't delayed! Depending on the type of stroke, the timing of treatment is essential as certain medications can only be given during a very specific window as in the cases of ischemic strokes and thrombolytics etc etc. Great content as always Siohban, keep up the hard work and thank you for being a wonderful doctor to your patients!!

I love that you explain in detail each patient problem, your solution, and rationale for it. This is so great for learning!

You are so amazing at explaining things! You would be such an amazing teacher! Your positivity radiates!

Siobhan, I love how your cover these important and common health issues. I feel like my IQ and HQ (Happiness Quotient) go up when I watch your videos!

I had a stroke bc I was born with 29 weeks and was super frail of course. This resulted in hemiplegia. Luckily I came out fine thanks to the amazing staff at the NICU

So much respect to you! You guys do such an amazing thing saving lives and helping people and just dont get enough recognition. You all deserve so much praise! I have some medical issues myself and have been hospitalized many times and had great experiences except 1. Thank you for all the hard work you do! Will keep watching!!!

Seriously how are you always so positive and enthusiastic about everything good or bad ? Great for you! It seems like you’re a great person!

Siobhan! As a previous anesthesia technician that has been debating heading back into the medical field recently you have totally motivated me! Thanks so much for your great videos!

It seems like every time I watch you, you have a new thousand subscribers. So happy for your success.

Really enjoying the videos. Thanks! Wow, that phone has seen better days.

I'd like to hear more about the outcomes of the patients - like a follow-up with if it was meningitis or not, or a follow-up on why that lady was confused. It would be nice to know what happened to the patients after you treated them, how long they had to stay in the hospital, if more complications developed, etc. Thanks!

I love these videos! I am a radiology tech student, so seeing this side of the workings of the hospital is fascinating. I admire your sunny disposition and positive attitude. I know how hard that is sometimes surrounded by some patients who aren't exactly friendly!

Thanks for the disclaimer in the title screen, I always wondered about the patient confidentiality when you would discuss with your team members about cases on camera. Great video as always!!!

Seems like you work SO hard !! You seem like a good leader, awesome work :)

You said “so far we’ve already had 13 consults!” And I thought you were going to say “13 coffees!” And I was horrified lol

Question: I semi local hospital we went to for a tumor my son had behind his eye, the Dr would speak all his notes into a recorder, and I asked a nurse what was he doing. He explained the Drs do that so someone else can type up their notes. Do they do this where you work? Or have you heard of this?

I was also told that I have a 3.3 mm near my pituitary. What could cause me to get a pulmonary embolism? Now they tell me that I had three in the one big one was the one they were concerned about. I still have two left that’s why I’m on Xarelto. my tremors are crazy and I don’t know why I tremor. I feel very strange ever since the pulmonary embolism. Can’t stand a long time either.

I had a stroke this past July. It happened in a hospital. I had gone to the ER for severe shortness of breath, which turned out to be the result of congestive heart failure. I went into AFIB, and the fluctuations in BP caused a small hemorragic stroke. I don't really remember much, except my husband noticed I wasn't making sense when I talked. I'm okay now, except for some balance issues and a loss of dexterity in my left hand. My doctor tells me I should get more exercise :-(
