What type of videos do you want to see more of? Day in the Life, Medical Mysteries, Patient interviews, What X body part says about your health, Mark and I chatting... or something else? Love hearing from you guys!
Day in the life, Mark and you chatting & outside the hospital activities you do! 💜
I miss the hospital vlogs, but I also like your videos with medical mysteries. Congrats for 1 mil🎉🎉🎉. We love you. ❤ And by the way I am watching you from Bulgaria (small Balkan county in Europe)
I miss some of the other residents & medical students from past videos. Do you keep in touch with any of them? The on call dynamics is awesome on some of the shifts
Medical mysteries and you and Mark
You and mark. I luv your video btw
Please understand that you’re not just educating people about medicine, you’re showing people what it means to be a good person. Your positive attitude, honesty, compassion, and sincerity shine through on every video. No matter what topic you were covering in your videos, people will naturally think “I want to be more like that person”. It’s like you’re modeling, but instead of clothing it’s about being a good human being. You are truly an inspiration.
How true BUT will 30/ 40 years of craziness untune & burn out that good violin MD lady?
Like so many other good doctors?
@@stevemitz4740 Siobhan will earn 10 million subscribers, she will be making millions from ad revenue, and will be a full time content creator
@@LSP1988 Did you know that USA's evil, 50 billion in fraud fines/ Big Pharma's iatrogenic medicine kills 684 to 2191 people each and every day? I.e. 12.5 to 40 million in just the last 50 years! [Fact!] (Depending on who you believe) I.e. the Johns Hopkins [low-ball] iatrogenic study or the well-documented book, Death by Medicine by Dr. Null!) (All with no prosecutions or jail time!)
The Bible tells us, “Death is the wages of sin, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” So who will you trust, USA's big government & big pharma, or God/ “Our Creator,” [as our founders put it, and trusted!]
Can you notice how those real facts can't sink into programmed confidence bios sheeple???
WHAT?!!! Who would send mean comments to such a nice, sweet person?😮
Jerks, jerks everywhere…
For real
Obviously you like something about her vids if you have been watching for that long!!?
@@monkeyx17 I feel the same, I've been dealing with Canadian healthcare for a long time and she reminds me of one of the many doctors I run into who pretends theres nothing wrong while I'm suffering immensely for years (edit: because of medical negligence and incompetence, not just the illness), it's insincere gaslighting and it completely disregards what we go through as patients
Probably jealously
A whole practicing doctor, violinist, and TH-camr....Im glad I found this channel😌
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
Like you said, don't have kids out of obligation. You will regret it. There's nothing wrong with focusing on your careers, traveling, hiking, etc. If that's what brings you fulfillment, then that's what's best for you.
More hospital blogs, please! Also, congratulations on 1 million subscribers!
More day in the life of and patient interviews. Also, Congratulations Siobhan!!! This is such an historic milestone for not only for you but all of us as well! Keep up the amazing work!!!
I agree. I think these are the videos that will help future generations decide if they want to be doctors.
I like the day in the life videos, I like to see mark in your videos it’s fun.
Then you'll definitely enjoy this video!! 😄
Congratulations!!! I can't believe I have been following you for SEVEN years! Your video's now even say: "From a licensed doctor in Canada
Learn more about how experts define health sources" - How cool is that!
You know, I started my Internal Medicine residency with you. I used to watch your blogs as 1st year medicine resident, when I was also in the 1st year of my Internal Medicine residency. Now I am an Interventional Cardiologist. And I think we have grown together. I feel so happy for you. How time flies....
Oh wow that’s so special to hear! Co grate on finishing your fellowship!
You and Mark are absolutely genuine and incredibly caring and compassionate. Both of you are not only gifts to medicine, but gifts to the world in general. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us!
The good fortune falls on the subscribers who learn from you. Another million need to subscribe.
I'm a nursing student in the NWT, and I've been watching you since high school (I'm now going into my 3rd year in the fall). Your videos have helped me SO MUCH to apply the information and skills I am learning to real-life clinical scenarios & patient presentations, etc. The medical mystery videos and hospital vlogs are my favourites, as those are always the ones I seem to learn the most from!! I love your channel and am so happy to see you getting the success and recognition you deserve. Thank you for all that you do both online and as a doctor in the real world; I cannot thank you enough for helping people every day despite the many endless challenges faced in healthcare. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Medical mysteries are my personal favorite. I have been in healthcare for 20+ yrs and always learn something new from you (and you make it fun and interesting again!) Thank you and congrats from VA!🎉
I’m a 78 yr old senior and been following your channel for a very long time. Your energy, and the way you explain the cases allows the average person with no medical training to understand and follow what you’re telling us. Violin is one of my favourite instruments. Also love the videos with you and Mark.
Congratulations such a great accomplishment! So happy for you. Love the channel!!!!!
Dr. Deshauer, on behalf of all of the physicians here with Protect our Province Alberta, thank you for your tireless advocacy for acurate and timely health information. Congratulations on your incredible milestone. Your work is critical in combating the firehose of misinformation out there and being a stewardess to create the Pillar of Health on TH-cam is so important.
Wishing you all the best!
I am so happy that I found you in your first year of residency! Congratulations! You deserve all this success ❤️
Thank you!!
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers 🎉 Siobhan you are amazing and humble person. I have been watching since day one from RN in Australia 🇦🇺
I would love to see more videos of you and Mark working together in hospital.
you come on this channel and leave no crumbs. All these years (through covid) you kept on not just educating, teaching, spreading awareness about important subjects, but also entertaining. you inspired me to be a nurse.
ive never been happier to stay with so long and watched every video ever.
Have you considered collaborating with TwoSetViolin? They always make jokes about how their parents wanted them to be a doctor but they chose music. Anyways, I am halfway through nursing school and just wanted to say thank you for the shadowing videos. A day in the life in hospital videos are my personal favorite. Thanks for always making fun and good content. :)
I had the same idea 😂 I thought it would make a great video as Siobhan went to university to study violin performance and chose to be a doctor. It would also be great if Brett and Eddie were introduced to the World Doctors Orchestra.
This would be so fun!
ONE MILLION subscribers!! Well deserved 👏💐
As a retired RN I can only hope that a good portion of your subscribers are MDs who are learning from your example how to be a CARING provider who LISTENS to patients and THINKS!!!
Thank you for being there. 🌞
I my name is Ada Hockey. I’m 18 years old. I was at Summer Academy and we wer4 researching someone who works in the medical field because I chose a blind Psychiatrist, but I thought Psychiatrist was the only field I could go into as a visually impaired person who has 20/1000 vision. But the AT specialist/TVI or Teacher of the visually impaired research some other specialties that I could go into like, Family medicine, Internal Medicine, and some others, but that’s when I looked up your channel and showed her that you are an Internal medicine and Rheumatology specialist. I told her that kind of interests me as well because you make it sound like so much fun. I want to work in Peds though. I also called over a resident Asistant at camp and she said that your the reason that she wanted to become a doctor. I am so glad that you have this channel and that you are so inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work. Let’s go and keep spreading the word and inspiring the next jeneration to become medical professionals.
Your thoughts on having kids are exactly how I felt and still feel. I was and would have been completely happy without having kids, but I love my kid now and couldn’t imagine life without them. It’s a weird feeling but it is definitely life changing so keep thinking about it!
💙💙🎉👏🏻🇺🇸From KENTUCKY. I have learned so much from. Don’t change anything, we love you both.
Kentucky here too! I love her. And now Mark too.
The editing of the textbook information on lupus to accurately represent people of color filled my eyes with tears. You should be so proud. 🥹
Yayyyyyyyyyyy so happy for you much deserved thanks for the consistent inspiration!!!!
My favorite thing about your channel is the behind the scenes, vlogs, and medical mysteries. I have an intense fascination with medicine but I cannot handle gore at all which makes watching things like House or Greys not feasible. I love that I can learn so much on your channel but nothing ever turns my stomach! Haha
First of all, congratulations Siobhan you deserve the 1 million subscribers. I think it’s just fabulous magical wonderful you really know how to captivate the audience if you will and I think it’s wonderful. Secondly, I’m not even sure I’ve been watching you for a while. I think ever since the pandemic, maybe a little bit more than that I don’t remember and you deserve it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is such a wholesome video. Congrats Siobhan and Mark on this amazing milestone, you guys absolutely deserve it!
I've been watching for a few years now, and what drew me to this channel and continues to set you apart from other medical channels is your day in the life videos. There's something fascinating, as a non-medical professional, about seeing how a doctor moves through the day, while still getting a deeper insight into some medical conditions that I know less about and seeing the diagnostic process. I also loved the attempt at doing a week in the life, where we can really follow patients' trajectories throughout their care. Keep it up you guys! Here's to the next million subscribers!!🎉🎉
How about interweaving violin practice, solo or duet, into day-in-the life video vlogs? The Organized Soprano inserts clips of her operatic rehearsals and practices into her vlogs and I love it (her main content is decluttering/organizing). Dont try to do whole concerts or a separate violin channel, just share snippets that showcase your talent and introduce us to specific composers and their works. Thanks❤
I would love to see more day in the life vlogs and more week in the Life vlogs I would love to see a morning routine video with you and Mark ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Huge deal. Glad you made it. I hope it pays you well in all ways.
Silent subcriber here, I can't believe I have been watching your videos for 7years rooting for you to become the best doctor! Good for you!
these are the kinds of people who are meant to be doctors. You are intelligent, kind, patient, and we need more doctors in the world like you
What I love - Siobhan’s joy and big smile, and let’s not forget her dimples 😊. Siobhan your personality and positive outlook on life is why I watch. I feel your joy along your husband Mark - a huge Congratulations 🎉on 1 Million subscribers!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏💐💐🎻❤️.
Congratulations. You have truly earned this. Stay safe and well and keep it up as you can without burning yourself out. We love you both.
I've watched your channel since the pandemic, but my 8 year old has recently stated that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up, specifically a pediatric hospitalist, and wants to learn about being a doctor every day. We often watch your videos in the evening and she absolutely loves the Day in the Life videos and Medical Mysteries! She feels like she's already learning how to be a doctor! Oh, and she's learning how to play violin. Thanks for all that you do, and congrats on 1 MILLION subscribers!
Siobhan, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Well deserved! Thank you for everything you do as a doctor and as a youtuber. I've learnt a lot from you ❤
Love this channel. So wholesome. A dose of medicine for the soul. Thank you Síobhan and Mark. ❤
Don't change anything.I appreciate the variety. Blessings
I’ve been a subscriber since your 2nd year of residency. I’m truly so proud to see how far you’ve come since then. I have seen you in your 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year, 5th year, and now you are an internal medicine and rheumatology specialist! That’s so crazy how fast time flies! You have taught me so much and have you made me realize that I want to go into the medical field after HS. I’ve been watching your videos ever since 6th grade, now going to be a senior (class of 2025) I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me! Thank you for showing us a little bit of what your everyday life looks like. Congrats on 1 Million subscribers, you deserve this and so much more! Continue to put a smile on others! ❤
Congratulations! You deserve 1 mill subscribers & more! Love how you’re so genuine & you’re passionate about your line of work & that is hard to come by these days. The world needs more people like you. God bless. Love from NZ!
You're amazing. One of the few people on TH-cam where I watch your videos in their entirety. You are so smart, interesting, and so engaging and wonderful to listen to!
We love you, you’re an incredible person and a huge inspiration!!! Congratulations to this milestone 🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾
Congratulations on 1 million!! You have already touched so many lives and have so many more lives to impact! Everyone needs a Siobhan in their lives ❤
Your curiousity, commpassion and sense of community make you both amazing doctors. We need more of you in Canada. Come to Atlantic Canada - we have great trails/hiking opportunities.
Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉
I always watch her videos and get a lot of answers at time and it’s really nice to have someone who knows their stuff!! Congrats Siobhan!!
Aaah! I'm sooo so excited for you! Thank you for helping educate and entertain all of us and taking us on your journey through med school! Can't wait to see what awesome videos you'll share with us next.
Best of luck!
I love watching both of you interact and the love that is so obvious between you. I have also loved your true optimism and care you exude for your patients. God bless you and don’t ever forget to be human!
Congrats Siobhan!! Love your channel, so well deserved, and you are such a kind and awesome person and role model for us all!!
I love to stay positive and this channel really helps me do that! I've had so many negative experiences with doctors who aren't interested in their job and never try to help figure out what is wrong with my health. But you both remind me that there are still doctors out there who really want to fix the problem, not just put a patch on it and get rid of you! Thanks for giving me hope and for the beautiful, bubbly personality that always puts a smile on my face!
Been here since “first year medical student!” I’m not in the healthcare field at all, but I enjoy learning from your videos. You present information in an easy to understand yet educational manner. Congratulations! 🎉
Hi. Mark, you are the coolest! Thanks for sharing Siobhan with us ❤. 1M - You're TH-cam famous
Congrats Siobhan! Thank you for everything you and Mark do!
Love everything you do! Congrats on 1,000,000! Holy smokes! Shows what a bright and beautiful soul you are!
Congratulations, I have watched you work so hard and grow so much not only as a doctor but an amazing caring person. You deserve all the best life has to offer!
Congratulations! I only discovered your channel a year or so ago and immediately subscribed. I love to read case histories and medical oddities and mysteries, and your presentation is so much fun. I'm also a big fan of symphony and opera, so what's not to love?!
I'm a retired RN and my first thought when I came across your channel was, "What intern or resident has time to do a blog?!" There's a lot that goes into creating content, filming it, editing it and I never met a resident who wasn't dying for an extra hour's sleep. Every July 1 when I was floor nursing, I'd see these cocky yet terrified young medical students, now newly minted MDs, suddenly taking nonstop call for days in a row and meeting/conquering their worst fears. (The smart ones knew to ask the nurses for help. I know we seem intimidating and 'been there - done that', but we want to help you succeed and introduce you to what's realistic and what isn't.).
So a big thank you from San Francisco for taking us along on your journey. I've enjoyed going back and looking at earlier videos and watching the progress and congratulations for getting through the grind - both of you - and surviving it with grace. ❤️
Try the Vancouver Island Trail. It is 800 km long.
And an idea would be to record some background music for your videos with your violin.
1:09 - Or, if you are in Canada, from Hamilton to Windsor.
I love watching you guys so much! Can't help but smile along with you every video, I am so keen to see all your future videos
Congratulations! Very well deserved, it was great seeing the intro progressions over the years!
I’m so so happy for you, you deserve this so much. I think one content you can highlight for your channel is understanding how important vital signs are, assessment.
Hi Siobhan! I’ve enjoyed your videos for several years now, and I loved this one. :) Congratulations on reaching 1M subscribers!!! You have been so fun to watch and learn from. I’m now studying Human Biology and Health Sciences with hopes of becoming a nurse someday. I personally really love when you share medical vlogs, mysteries and patient stories. But I also love the chatty videos too. :) all the best!
You gained my following a few years ago with not only the great content but also your charismatic personality and contagious smile. You are so calming to watch and makes one feel that if they were ever sick, they would 100% pick you to be their doctor. Congratulations on the one million subscribers!!
Since 2 of my grandsons entered medical school, I have been obsessed with all things associated with becoming a doctor. Your You Tube videos (especially "a day in the life of...") are so far and above those of other medical you tubers. The way you share your patient experiences from patient complaint to outcome is, to me, what makes you stand out. Every medical student should be required to study your videos as part of their training.
Beside all that, your physical beauty and personality are amazing.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 🎊 👏 🎊 👏
One million!!! Congratulations! Your online family is so proud of you.
I'm a music teacher and often talk to my students about your violin/medical journey. Music is not a large part of the culture in the area I teach, and seeing people like you who are passionate about music, even though it's not their profession, is really impactful. I'd love a video specifically about how music impacted your journey as a medical provider and if you were willing to play in it, I'd likely use it as apart if my recruitment materials to get kids involved. You've already inspired many of my students and I'd love to expand the impact!😊🎶
I really appreciate hearing that, it means a lot! I have saved this comment and added it to my list of future video ideas! I have A LOT to say on the topic… very close to my heart and I even did some research in the area that I would love to share. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Siobhan! Been watching your videos for many years and always look forward to them! Congratulations on 1 MILLION subscribers! 🎉 Love all the types of videos you make, but especially enjoy the day in life and medical mysteries videos! But, let's face it, all your videos are amazing! 😁 Thank you for being yourself and I'll definitely keep watching your content! 💜
Congratulations and go IU!
I started watching your videos as I was editing medical papers because it was great medical content from someone living close to where I grew up, and imagine my surprise when you ended up at Indiana, where I went to undergrad. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Hi Siobhan!
I've been watching your TH-cam videos since I started community college and this Fall I will be starting my Masters in Behavioral Neuroscience! On my way to a Doctorate!! So much love!
I would like more day in the lifes and Mark and you chatting. I love you and your videos so much!
Heartly congratulations 🎉
Your videos got me through a tough time in 2019 I appreciate you so much! I would love to see more of the day in the life videos! Congrats on one million you deserve it!!!
Congratulations Siobhan! 🎉You’ve helped and touched so many people! I’ve learned a lot from the knowledge you’ve shared. Thank you for that. Love all your videos, especially the medical mysteries! Already looking forward to your next video! ❤
Congratulations to you both! I have recently become a medical coder and have been following your journey for a few years now and you definitely helped me understand more about pathology and kept me interested in the field of medicine. Maybe some more day in the life videos but maybe some of the more mundane things you have to do too. Like a real glimpse of how you document cases and some of the burden it might be to have to document things so specifically and dealing with insurance/lawyers. How your general feelings/relationships are towards medical coders and do you feel their presence in healthcare is necessary and helpful? Congrats again whatever content I’ll keep tuning in!
Amazing accomplishment! Wonderful people, couple, doctors, and you-tubers! Look forward to every video. RN in upstate NY
Hi Siobhan! Congrats on 1M subscribers! I love this Q&A video! I'm so glad you felt honest enough to say that you aren't sure if you are going to have kids. I'm not sure why society assumes the natural progression for every married couple is to have children. Not everyone wants kids, or can even have them. I think it's sooo important for people to not make these kind of assumptions. It's ok to not want kids, and you don't need to feel bad about it! Thank you for all of your content. I have learned SO MUCH from you! Love to you from PA. ❤🩺😊
Congratulations! You are absolutely deserving!! A truly special human 🎉💕
I've watched you for years and you're so amazing and such a genuinely kind and caring person. It's been lovely to see you grow and learn!
Just hearing your voice is so calming!
I can't wait to watch the next episodes. It's educational, entertaining, intelligent, thrilling like a detective movie, and at the end of it all, we understand what really happened: it's so interesting! Thank you so much for offering us such a brilliant content. You are a very talentend woman in so many ways.
As for your content going forward, just keep doing what you're doing! I LOVE all of your content. I truly love the Medical Mysteries, and hearing from patients. Also, a Day in the Life is always so fascinating! We just love whatever you want to show us. ☺
Medical mysteries and case studies are fascinating to me but I like all your videos. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers! ❤
You are a joy!! Love your medical mysteries & enjoy every video. God bless you.
Siobhan (& Mark) - congratulations on achieving such an amazing achievement. 1 million subscribers is a huge effort. I truly do love your videos, whether it’s a day in the life or explaining different medical conditions. I love them all. I would love to see the occasional video of you playing the violin
Patient stories please!❤
oh my goodness!! congrats. what a massive moment. You're amazing
I appreciate all that you share with us. You bring so much positive energy to the medical community. This is one of my favorite channels ❤
I would love to hear more medical mysteries. They are very fun to try to figure out. Much love.Patt L
Your channel is wonderful because you’re genuine. Keep being you!
Congrats on 1M subscribers!! I love your videos. It shows your passion and enthusiasm. ❤Medical mystery and patient interviews would be my choices.
@ViolinMD Congratulations on this milestone!! I have been following your journey since you were a first year internal medicine resident, and your content has truly inspired and reaffirmed my decision to pursue medicine. As I begin medical school next week, I would like to thank you for always putting up such quality content, and being the channel I look forward to watching every weekend!!
You are one incredible human Siobhan! Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge with us over the years. ❤️
Congratulations, love all you videos, especially the medical ones!
Congratulations! I love all your videos. Keep doing what makes you happy!❤ sending hugs from Adelaide South Australia!
Congratulations! So happy for you! I love your channel. All the best to you!
Congratulations!!! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos…I think variety is always good as it generally has something for everyone!! Finding a way to incorporate your music would be delightful! Looking forward to your future videos!! Thank you for your commitment and willingness to sharing your lives with your viewers!
