- Join me as I spend the day with flight paramedics in helicopters!! As a doctor I don't usually see patients before they arrive at the hospital with a medical emergency, so it's fascinating to see this process! Plus riding in a helicopter is a pretty amazing work environment!
Huge thank you to Mike, Evan and Ornge for this incredible experience!

Once upon a time I was the Fixed Wing Chief Pilot for a very prominent Air Ambulance operation that killed no less than five people and cut another guy's hand off in less than a year. And based on that experience my advice is this... NEVER get on a helicopter unless you are bleeding out. I repeat. Never. Unless you are bleeding out and about to die anyway.

"Internal Medicine and Rheumatology Specialist." I smiled when I heard that. I really love watching your journey! :)

Same I’m so proud of her love watching her x
She must’ve been a kindergarten teacher or a children’s tv host in a former life. She’s just so pleasant
Right? It's so awesome to hear that after all those years!
To Dr. Siobhan (Violin MD) and to the first responders I thank you for your sacrifice, service, and devotion in all that you do and have done for those who are in need of medical help, Thank you!
Air Ornge is a common sound and sight here in Norfolk County, Ontario. Countless lives have been saved by the accessibility of emergency care through Air Ornge and their skilled paramedics. We are so grateful for ever single flight they make here to assist trauma victims.
Same here in Haldimand County.
we're a common sound from fort severn to ottawa to windsor to kirkland lake, whether its the fleet of AW139 helicopters or the 8 PC12 airplanes

My dad was airlifted to hospital when I was 10. He fell off a 20+ foot ladder flat on his back at a construction job. The doctors at the hospital thought he wasn't ever going to walk again. We later find out, he broke his spine in 2 places but had NO damages to his spinal cord.
Thanks to the spinal treatment from the paramedics, he walked out of the hospital. I'm 20 years old now and he can run and walk better than ever.
I have so much respect for air ambulances and thank them for taking care of my dad and keeping him calm during the flight to the hospital.
Is this truth or it ur useless sharid and showoff
Is this truth or it ur useless sharid and showoff
That’s great to hear hope your dad is doing better
So cool seeing the whole process our patients go through before they come to our ICU. We work very closely with Ornge paramedics! Great video, & hope you're enjoying your trip!

I wouldn't want to go there and make the trip....
My friend's newborn was flown from a small hospital to Toronto and this made me tear up. I appreciate them more than I can describe
My brother (an Emergency Specialist) doesn't go out on the helicopters as much as he used to, but he absolutely loved working on them. It helps if you're a bit of an adrenaline junkie! Now he controls them from the ground mainly, but will go out any chance he gets. I can't even get on a helicopter such is my fear of heights and flying. I hope you enjoyed your day with the crew.
Cool coment! :-)
I love how humble you are and respect the other medical professionals that help the team run smoothly.
In Australia we have similar issues - we're a huge country with hundreds of kilometres between major capital city hospitals, creating a challenge for accident and emergency treatment in rural areas. The Flying Doctor, a charity that's been going for decades, flies to injured or severely ill patients in remote areas and evacuates them to hospital, but there's never enough money to help everyone. We also have medical evacuation helicopters that sometimes have corporate sponsorship because that's the only way to fund them. The staff of all these services do an amazing job!
Cool video. Most folks don't know that flight paramedics are elite healthcare officers. They are ready for almost anything. The helicopter is a great tool to get them to the scene swiftly. Aorta dissection? Hope the guy made it.
Thanks for the videos!!👍❤️
Omg! Thank you so much for highlighting the important work ORNGE does…. these guys are amazing. I was an ambulance dispatcher in Lindsay and frequently spoke to 7799 on the radio. I also live in Peterborough and worked at PRHC! You rock. Thank you for this insight. 😊
As an ER nurse I have a tonne of exposure to the ORNGE crews; am always impressed by their skills.
I’ve been watching your channel for years and as a Paramedic I was SO excited to see you shadow these two! I’m a street medic but still, super cool! Maybe you could ride along with a ground crew one of these days as well. I feel like what we do is sometimes not entirely understood by both the public and the rest of the healthcare system at large so it might a good education opportunity! :)
You are very appreciated for what you do.. I was in the fire department and served as a EMT B a bit.. But I got out of it I had way too many Spontaneous Pneumothorax’s due to pulmonary blebs.. Had surgery to attach my lungs to my chest walls but blebs still came back.. The one Pulmonologist ran tests thinking a couple diseases could cause them to come back but tests came back good.. I’m tall and thin played basketball it usually happens to thin people.. Plus I had asthma as a kid and severe allergies.. That may play a role into it.. I was actually training one day with the fire department had my gear on mask and air tanks on my back then bam 💥 the sharp stabbing back and chest pain hit me.. My fellow firefighters transported me to the hospital and sure enough it was collapsed.. Chest tubes hurt very badly they are not fun you can’t sleep good or anything with them in.. Felt like a dog on a leash being hooked up to the inflation device.. I will say from my experience when they put the chest tube into my pectoral area above my nipple that hurt the worst I said some choice words.. Actually going into between my rib cage wasn’t that bad of course I was doped up.. I got a lot of scar tissue and pain from it.. Can’t scuba dive or sky dive ever.. But I’m thankful I’m doing good now..
My daughter had to be rushed by helicopter when she was diagnosed with Leukemia at 14months old. I was terrified but the helicopter pilot and emergency personal on the helicopter made me feel at ease. The pilot even came in with me and sat next to me holding my hand for the time the ICU was trying to figure out everything. He said when they cure your daughter tell her she gets a free helicopter rode anytime she wants.
My Sweet Mom was a Volunteer Nurse for over 55 years after starting out as a Candy Striper while still in High School. I remember her always talking about a certain Hospital that she worked at because she was involved with the Medevac Helicopter Team. She never went out on the runs but her stories of them and her enthusiasm about them reminds me of you Siobhan! This was such an exciting video! Cheers From Ohio
Can I just say I really appreciate you showing the whole day as it was not just the highlights.
So many content creators would chop and change to only show the exciting bits but the reality is that things don’t go as planned, things get cancelled or we can’t do something for various reasons. I really appreciate how genuine and authentic you are!
i agree!
I joined the same station on Toronto Island last year as part of my EMS fellowship, and I have always been fascinated by what they do as flight paramedics.
Was quite phenomenal to see Peterborough being considered a “larger” hospital!
It's so interesting to see all these different "sections" of being a doctor! Thank you so much for vlogging all the way through!!
I absolutely loved this video! I went to medic school with plans to become a flight medic. Unfortunately, a few weeks before graduation I became pregnant and spent the next 9 months in the hospital from complications. I never did get to fulfill my dream, but loved watching!!!
I’m currently in my dietetic internship so it’s so interesting to learn how these professions work. It really makes you appreciate everyone’s job no matter how small you think it is
Excited to see this! I am a Child Life Specialist and would love to see you shadow one of us some day. 🤞 Our role is such a powerful part of pediatrics, yet so few people know we exist!
adore childlife specialists! 💜💜💜 some profound childhood memories.
What's a child life Specialist? I'm in hs lol I'm still trying to figure out what kind of doctor I want to be :3 ❤️
She did! In the video titled "HEARTWARMING: Day in the Life of a DOCTOR (ft. pediatric rheumatology)"
@@bethsadventures2791 they work with pediatric patients to explain procedures, tests, surgeries, etc in ways kiddos can understand. They do way more than that but that’s a big part of their job.
@@bethsadventures2791 We work with kids to make the hospital experience less traumatizing for them. So explaining procedures and diagnoses, supporting them during procedures, reducing the use of restraint when possible, creating positive experiences for kids who are hospitalized, as well as psychosocial support at end of life.
I'm a helicopter mechanic, we re-torque critical bolts either after a few flight hours from being replaced or either as a periodical check.
Glad you had fun! I’m an Ontario Paramedic so I work closely with Ornge on a bunch of calls. I love working with them 😊
The excitement and joy on your face and in your voice truly reflects the unique experience this was for you!
I always enjoy listening to the first timers descriptions of the various facets of flying EMS. I started flying EMS in the 80's, and retired in 2010. I was a helicopter pilot. Good luck in your chosen profession 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love this flight paramedics. I’ve been save three times because of them. 2 for a heart attacks and 1 going into a Cardiac Arrest. I’ve flown a total of 5 times in a helicopter and once in a jet. Each and every time was an emergency and I am so very lucky and great full to be alive. I owe this men and women so much and I thank them for everything they do. You’re awesome Siobhan and we love you hun. Thank you for everything you do and stand for. Sending love from Colorado Springs CO.
As a former nursing student (had to leave sadly) I love your show. Your kindness and understanding are paramount skills. Never forget to listen to your patients or loose your empathy. Good luck in your career!
About a year ago my Dad had to be transported in a flight like this after he was in a fire. He spent 41 days in the Burn ICU. He survived thanks to people like these flight paramedics! They were his angels!!
Absolutely "Angels of the Sky"
I am retired from emergency services in the US, have had to call upon Chopper Evac many times in 30 years.
Thank you for what you do,
God Bless and Stay safe
Oh wow… this seems like such a fun experience. I’m glad you got the opportunity to try this out!! 🥰
My Dad, (a Special Ops Rescue Paramedic and IC with NSW Ambulance) used to work for CareFlight. This sort of stuff is right up his alley! He'd love this video! Congrats on your graduation!
I was fixed wing pilot for Ornge for just over a year. I have some videos on my channel, of the fixed wing pilot side of the operation. Definitely one of the most rewarding jobs one can have in aviation. I had the pleasure of working with Evan in Thunder Bay some years ago. All the flight paramedics are true hero's, they're all the best and I enjoyed working with them all so much. The people there were the best part of the job.
Hi and thanks for sharing this Dr Shioban. I had a horrible car accident (the other driver fell asleep behind the wheel) and was air lifted to the trauma center. I had my eyes closed when paramedics were working on me (so not to panic) and didn’t realize I was air lifted until they told me later in the hospital.
Hi Siobhan! Great to see you spread awareness through your videos!! It's inspiring, however I would love if you could add captions to your videos. It would be really helpful! Can't wait for the next video, take care!
I've watched your channel prior to becoming a Paramedic student and it is so cool to see how far you have come as a doctor. I still remember your videos when you were a student and this is so amazing to see how far you have come!
I'm also so happy you spent the time with Ornge to understand/learn/show the full circle of care including those who work in Critical Care Paramedicine. I hope that you eventually get a chance to ride out with a Paramedic service in Ontario so you can see what it really is like to jump on a PCP/ACP truck! Maybe one day, I might even bump into you when I graduate from school and get on the road!
All the best Siobhan, absolute class!
Violin MD it looks , and sounds like, you really like emergency medicine... Love the "Apocalypse Now music" when viewing the helicopter!
Orange transported my son 7 years ago after he became critically I’ll. Thanks fully they got him to LHSC in time to save his life. We never met “;Bob” his air paramedic but I would have loved to say thank you some day. ❤
Love your videos! I’m watching in England, and it’s awesome seeing both the similarities and differences in the way the healthcare systems work! Hope you’re having a fantastic hike! Xx
Here in Australia we have the Royal Flying Doctor service, which offers a vast range of healthcare services from emergency response and transport to the most remote areas in the country, to mobile primary health care clinics in remote towns. They also do a lot of teaching and consulting. Since the outback is so vast and sparsely populated, the Flying Doctors truly are a vital part of living in rural Australia. Primarily, they operate fixed-wing aircraft, with special upgrades to allow them to land in makeshift dirt runways as well as an incredible amount of medical equipment. These planes can carry multiple patients and doctors at the same time as well, which is so important if something major has happened and help is hours away. They also recently bought some helicopters, but they are only in limited use at the moment.
Siobhan should come and do a ride along with the RFDS that would be awesome
Would love to see a ridealong with the RFDS one day!
What an adventure!
I watch this show called real responders all the time and I absolutely love what paramedics do!
I used to live in the flight path of my local hospitals helipad. Hearing and seeing those Ornge helicopters coming in always gave me chills.
I'm so excited for the upcoming videos! They're even more interesting as a Canadian (and former Ontarian) nurse! Keep em coming!
When the doctor realizes the paramedic’s scope of practice. :-O
Made me smile.
Congratulations on finishing your residency! I bet it must feel amazing to be an attending after all of those years of hard work! I love your videos and your passion helped sparked my interest in continuing my nursing education and becoming a FNP so that I may be a primary care provider. Keep up the great work doc!
What a delightful surprise! I dispatched ambulance in Hamilton for almost a decade in the 90's and later worked for CritiCall, so I've had lots of interaction with the crews on 799 and agents at Ornge. I'm now in a whole other line of work these days but all paramedics, air and ground, hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for showcasing them! ❤️🇨🇦⚕️
Your smile is such a blessing, must be so comforting for your patients! ❤
You truly are an awesome person. I’ve been following your journey and you’ve come so far. Congratulations on all of your recent and future success!!
as a scribe in the ER, i adore paramedics! they’re so dedicated to what they do, they’re all so cool and hilarious, and they tell THE best stories you will ever hear! i have such a deep respect for what they do and i really hope to shadow paramedics one day!
Those teams are fantastic throughout the world, saving lives; awesome!
I spent 21 years as a Mobile Intensive Care paramedic in NJ. So excited you got to have a glimpse of our world! I was a "street" medic, i.e., not aeromedical. In NJ we have a tiered response, meaning BLS (ambulances staffed with EMTs) and ALS (non-transport chase vehicles staffed with paramedics) are dispatched separately, and ALS only gets sent to calls which are life or limb threatening, or if an on-scene emergency services provider (police, fire, EMS) specifically requests them. We are specialists, unlike in most other states where medics run a mix of BLS and ALS level calls. The medics are also required by state law to be based in and employed by a hospital system. The one I worked for had an ED residency program, and the residents were required to ride a certain number of shifts with the street crews and do 1-2 shifts with the flight crews. Most of the resident docs were excited to have a "day off", although many learned that we work pretty hard and under some rigorous conditions at times. We loved having them ride along because we found they treated us more respectfully after their ride alongs, and we had better rapport.
The emergency care they provide is so essential. They are also keeping the patients calm to🤗🤗
I am a medical lab technician and I love watching your videos to see how the rest of the hospital interacts! I would love to see you shadow a lab technician and see the behind the scenes of bloodwork results!
I watched your video since you were first year medical student and to see you reach up to this stage really motivates me!. You're such an amazing personnnnnnn!!
That was amazing! I’m doing my Advanced Care Paramedic training right now and want to specialize as a flight medic and I was as excited as you were for the entire video! I just discovered your channel and I love it! Thanks for taking the time to share your journey and experiences
I have so much respect for everyone that works on a rescue helicopter.
Years ago our cousins had a house fire. One of the children was severely burnt. We honestly thought he wasn't going to survive.
Thanks to everyone on that helicopter that night they got the family to a bigger hospital. The child is now an adult and alive and kicking now. I think that if we didn't have the helicopter rescue the boy wouldn't be here today.
They save so many lives. I feel for them because of all the trauma they deal with. It must be very hard to try put it to the back of your mind and deal with all the emotions etc away from work.
Thank you for posting this video.
One look at the smile on your face and all your enthusiasm and I knew I would enjoy your videos. Best of luck.
Thank you, God, for people like these.
Omg, this is an amazing video. I used to watch your videos years ago before I started my journey to becoming a retrieval specialist (the dr’s on board those helicopters).
I’m hoping to do it through post-graduate medicine after I finish my paramedicine degree.
Your video gave me those cute excited goosebumps! I can’t wait!
Being a first responder for years it is still amazing to complain on scene care and hospital care…you have to be prepared for anything anytime. Great experience for you. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome that you did this and see what the medics do. I’ve met so many doctors over the years that have no idea the things Medics can do and would not respect them.
Hi, Siobhan! Long time channel lover here. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. It is great to see, and your videos have been an inspiration through some tough times (cancer treatment and the pandemic as a HCW). Happy to report that I am applying to medical school soon and intend to specialize in EM.
Love your content! Especially as its Canadian. Would enjoy seeing a video that describes how much sleep you get in a workday/week, the types of food you eat, how you manage keeping in touch with peeps in your life, person chores, etc. I've always been curious how you manage these every-day tasks while working. Cheers from New Brunswick.
I loved this!! So cool! Thank you for sharing Doctor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a fantastic and informative video! This is so interesting and even though I am from another country, I have even more appreciation for our local helicopter teams. I live near a hospital that has them and I do see them quite often, once my dear friend was transported with one after a car accident on a highway and they were able to save her life.
This is seriously one of my favorite types of videos you do! It’s so awesome to see all the different aspects of medicine. Thank you for doing this 🥰
I’m currently in high school and this is my dream job (flight medic) so I was so excited to see this video!! Thanks for bringing us along!!
I got irrationally excited when I recognized the PRHC. I'm glad the patient got the care they needed.
Cant believe I have been watching you for YEARS and I still havent subcribed (which I literally just noticed as I was typing this and fixed that)... I have loved the journey and just hearing you say
"Internal Medicine and Rheumatology Specialist" is a huge deal to me. Keep up the amazing videos! Love it!
Both my dad and my niece had to be airlifted to a hospital (seperate times) but both my dad and my sisters (nieces mom) said the medics in them were by far better than even the doctors in the hospital and how the did such an amazing job.
These guys do such great work.
Omg! The larger hospital you dropped the patient off at, is my local hospital!!!!! So cool. As a chronically Ill patient I have spent a lot of time in that hospital haha
Really awesome video! You flew into Lindsay, it's one of the only hospitals for at least a hour to two hour radius, while bigger then Minden, it's definitely smaller then any hospital near the Toronto area. I am glad you spoke about access to these services . It was and is definitely terrifying to hear some of our emergency access was/is even more limited during COVID for multiple reasons. But it's good to know how capable and fast Ornge works . Thanks for sharing!
I know this is Canada due to how they say - out.... These men & women are superhuman. They are critical to the health care chain of treatment.... My hometown has Healthnet here at our local airport. That service can deliver a patient to the nearest Trauma Hospital in minutes. The drive would take over an hour with good weather and light traffic.. A pilot for this outfit told me they can make the trip in 21 minutes. Faster with a tail wind. Impressive!!! Life saving!!!.... A much needed service to the community. It is expensive, but how much is your life worth?? These flights have a trauma nurse and a combat trained paramedic. He is a former Army medic.. These folks are unreal in what they do everyday!!!! Very well trained and professional during the worst of times.. YET, they deliver day in and day out.... Thank you all!.
Excited to see the whole video😊
Thank you for calling out the inequity in remote and rural communities, having grown up small town I saw and felt the impact personally. More access for all! ❤️
Hope you’re having the bestest time ever on your hike!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She has the cutest smile ever!
I am glad to see doctors shadowing EMS agencies and providers. I feel we can both learn a lot from each other when a doctor rides on my truck. They can teach me more about medicine and how what we do in the field translates to what happens in the hospital, and how we can work together better. Then, in turn, I can teach them about the challenges of working in an uncontrolled environment and trying to bring the ED to that environment.
So much learning on both sides, and I feel it should be required for all doctors and EMS providers to at least have an experience in the other world to learn what each other does.
Oh buddy I'm so excited for you. I've been watching your content for years and it's so awesome to see you getting into something so badass!
That was fun informative n the smile n freckles!!! That made my day!! Cuteness overload on this episode!
you never cease to amaze me with your videos. thank you for everything you've done
Thank you Siobban for another great informative video. I have been following you for quite a long time on your journey. I love how you explain everything. I wish I lived near you because I would definitely check to see if you could be my rheumatologist. Can’t wait to see more videos and would love to see a video on you and your husband. I imagine he is ready to start into his practice as an obstetrician. Good luck to you both!!!!
I'm glad you pointed out which is the doctor and which is the helo.
Never would have figured that out on my own.
I’m actually a vol firefighter so I deal with flight paramedics a lot and they have got to be the coolest most humble people ever thank god for them they help make my job a little easier
I've got 14 years of air ambulance flying (fixed wing) in Ontario and Quebec...still have friends working at Ornge. Good bunch of folks.
That's an awesome helicopter, the LifeFlight helicopters i used to watch land next to my hospital looked quite a bit smaller; they still folded everyone in. 👍🏾
Such a fascinating job, flight medic. Thanks for sharing. So cool!
Wow! I've lived the last decade mostly in those rural communities where we might get life-flighted to a bigger hospital and have never seen this side of it! Such an incredible thing.
you really inspire me girl! never stop doing what you do❤️
I just love watching your channel you are so unbelievably nice thank you for sharing your daily life with all of the people that follow you
Love that you used Ride Of The Valkyries
This is so cool. I’ve recently became a volunteer firefighter and we do help with med calls and what we call Dart rescues with helicopters. This was super cool to see. ❤
Hi iam a internal medicine andRheumatology specialist , every body watching you from the start feels like a proud parent ! 😄
I used to get my con-ed credits with a medevac crew, it's great! We also have rapid infusion sets la;r;get; bore tubing but I've never used them pre-hospital.
O gosh! I had goosebumps for you!
Thank goodness ❤️ for all that do this type of stuff. Amazing! Thanks for the interesting information.
I remember when the intro used to be I’m Siobhan a first year medical resident. So amazing to see how far you’ve come!
Air ornge is amazing, I had to be air lifted to a different hospital and I was scared because it was my first ever time on a plane but the did a awesome job at keeping me calm throughout the trip and I got to see the beautiful view from up high
I really love watching your journey! :)
Heros all around. I know the criticality of an Aortic Dissection. Thanks to a good crew saved a two plus hour drive into an hour flight & emergency surgery (6 hours worth). That was three years ago & we have cherished every day since.
