VLOGGING IN HOSPITAL: WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A DOCTOR

Join me for a week in the hospital, and find out what a week in the life of a doctor is like! This week, I start with a 24-hour call shift in the Intensive Care Unit, then I transition to a new rotation in hematology (blood disorders), attend lectures and then finish the week with an overnight call shift.
I’m Siobhan, a first year internal medicine resident, and this channel documents my journey as a junior doctor.

    My heart goes out to you. When I see how hard you are working and trying to keep up with the crazy schedule. As a patient, I can share with you, that it makes the patient more comfortable knowing their Doctor is getting enough rest. I have been with Doctors who had not slept for days, and that is when things happen.........So my humble opinion in when to video, I would say.......when its possible and not so much worry or concern that it HAS to be done on a particular day. You're amazing and I know you're also a precious soul who truly is concerned for her patients. Much love to you, and keep up the Amazing Work. P/S Do you know the meaning of the term, "Bucket List?"

    I LOVE your videos!!! You are such are inspiration. I love to watch you get more comfortable in yourself through learning and experiencing new things. I know at the beginning of ICU you were nervous about the pressure of really sick patients. Now, after you’ve experienced the ICU, you are sooo much more confident in your abilities to take care of other patients. I’m only in high school now, but I’ve spent some time shadowing in the hospital and trying to experience as much of the reality of medicine as I can. So far everything is as amazing and brilliant as I thought it would be. My sights are set on Surgery and I can’t wait for the future.

    Recently discovered your video and find them very educational. If I ever find myself in the hospital, now I understand so much better how things work and what different people may be doing. I second all the other positive comments posted by your viewers. And may I add, kudos to your viewers for their great comments. It's such a refreshing change from the snarkiness and negativity found in comments in so much of social media.

    it is very motivating to see how you experience the hospital now in resisdency. I still have one year to study and exams before I can start rotations and sometimes it is just too much studying, hanging above the books and memorizing as much as possible each day. So it is a great motivator on Saturday to see you in one of your videos. I like both, a day and a week in the life of a doctor! Thanks for sharing!

    I accidentally found your channel while I was looking at the difference between Guillian Barre Syndrome and CIPD since my nuero changed my diagnosis to that. I don't know how it showed your channel. But, while watching your videos, it shows the heart that you and most of my Dr's have. Thanks for sharing and I love it when you build up those you work with.

    The Night Manager it's a short series but it's awesome. You are seriously wonder woman I barely have enough energy just to go to work, you work very hard in a high intensity job, study (a lot), make good eating choices and all with a smile on your face. I know we only see a few minutes of your day or week but you seem to just radiate positive energy and for someone like myself with a few undiagnosed medical issues watching you is a great pick me up. I find your daily/call shift vlogs more detailed and informative but I did like knowing how your week worked both are great I think ultimately it'sgoing to be a what works for you decision :)

I feel like n the week in the life is overviewed a lot and its not as in-depth. I love your day in the life because it means we get to follow you throughout and you can talk about the shift as you go through it. Thanks for you awesome videos

Anyway just a thought, God bless you more Siobhan!😊

    I really enjoyed your Week in the Life videos but I’m sure it’s more taxing on you to film and edit everyday. I just enjoy that you’re letting us have a glimpse at something everyday people don’t usually get to see. As for a new show, have you watched Dexter? I was obsessed. So good!

    Love your videos! You're a hard worker and an inspiration. An uplifting and fun show I like to watch is Fuller House on Netflix. Such a cute show! It will keep you laughing!!
