Day in the Life of a Doctor: Night Shift ON CALL in the Hospital!

Makes me so happy to hear you say you are a specialist!! I've been watching your journey for such a long time!! You got this Siobhan! 🥰

Being responsible for 150 patients and covering 5 pagers is exessive. Was this happening in the "before" times too or is this due to the shortage of medical staff we're experiencing in Ontario now? This is really scary. You are an exceptional doctor but doing this on all calls can only lead to burnout.

Doctors and nurses are beyond essential. You guys are human beings, and won't ever be perfect. As a cancer survivor, I've learned many things that I feel medical personnel should do differently. The thing that is most healing for patients is to treat them like human beings, whether they're there for something minor like a broken bone or something massively major.

And this is your first shift ... what a crazy one. It's not difficult to see why SO many Doctors and Medical Staff are suffering burn-out. Your dedication, intelligence and enthusiasm are amazing. Just don't forget to take care of YOU.

As a patient you don’t see the behind the scenes work the doctors put in - people think they’re just not coming to see you because they can’t be bothered. I wish everyone could see this video to see there are so many things going on, so many other patients and some are more urgent, if you’re not getting seen immediately that’s a good thing because it means you can wait whereas someone else can’t! I’m amazed by how Siobhan does it all with a smile on her face, I definitely couldn’t stay so upbeat if I was that busy!

It is really lovely to see you in full action and that you are now an attending physician. You sure have a lot of responsibility. Thanks for sharing insights into your work life with us. Would be nice to also see your husband again in a video with you occiasionally.

How many patients did you end up seeing? I was out of breath watching you hustle. I would feel so relieved to have a physician like you taking care of me or one of my loved ones.

You inspired my brother to be a doctor/surgeon he is now studying at The Royal College Of Surgeons in Dublin,Ireland in neurosurgery

That's a lot of pagers! So much responsibility, and you are 100% up to the task! Good to see you, Siobhan!

I have been following you since your first year of residency. This episode exhibits new confidence, which also shows in your production quality. How do you look so fresh-faced after a sleepless night on call? Maybe you should develop a line of skin care products 😀

I started tearing up when you introduced yourself as a physician. I’m so proud of you - thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

this is a good time to remind everyone to keep an up to date living will. you never know when you’ll be too sick/incapacitated to make your own decisions

I work as an overnight CT Tech in the ED, I LOVE watching her videos and getting to see the entire picture of the process, especially when it involves patients needing CT scans 😜 Still so educational and fun to learn about!

I have been watching you since the very first call shift and now it is crazy to see that you are now specialist! It has been an honour and an amazing journey and how far you have progressed. Keep up the good work~

I’m so excited and proud for you and through you, I can only imagine my future in the next three months. I can’t wait to see what life holds for you and me.

Yes! So exciting to watch your fist shift as a staff physician! Stay safe Siobhan! 💜

Wow congrats on your first night on call as an attending, Siobhan! I can't imagine how busy and hectic it must have been but I'm sure you did amazing! Can't wait to see how you keep growing from a resident to a staff doctor! 😊

This is a perfect way to start my Saturday afternoon. I'm so used to hearing you say "medical resident" and now you're a staff physician. So awesome!

I first started watching back when she was a first year Internal Medicine resident! It has been such an amazing five years to watch her journey to becoming a staff physician! Again, congratulations!!

So proud of you when you said internal medicine and rheumatology specialist I finished my residency in neuropsychiatry few days ago and still in shock 😅🥹 Planning to specialize in psychiatry Wish me good luck ❤️
