In all her videos she's always so smiley it's intoxicating!
Saturnite energy. No wonder her drive is great....capricorns work ethic and work
Hi! I'm a lab tech and I am sooooo happy and excited to see that you went in the lab to see what our job is. I'm so happy that my job will finally be seen by people because we work "in the dark" 😅 Nobody sees what our job really is and how important it is to patient care. I'm looking forward to this episode. Thank you for doing this 😁
As some one in pathology services yessssss
As someone who used to work in hospitals I know what an important job is you have.
Siobhan already seems like the most well rounded and grounded person. They deserve some down time and I hope they have a wonderful experience. 💕
Reflecting on life, enjoying the moment, and dreaming about the future is what makes us inherently human, what a beautiful vision, congrats!
I agree about the fragility of life. My wife has recurrent ovarian cancer and are preparing for when she passes. One of things we have started doing is spend much more time just sitting next to each other hugging and talking from our hearts, sometimes crying, sometimes remembering the wonderful life we’ve had together. Good for you for slowing down for a bit and spending quality time together.
How are you doing?
My wife has one chemo infusion left. She’ll have a CT scan to see if the cancer is gone this time. The cancer took about 6 months to return last time, so we’ll see what happens now.
@@madmoe4 I'm happy to hear everything is going well so far!!!!
@Madmoe how are things?
She is not good. She has been found to be platinum resistant now, which severely limits options. They are wanting to try an experimental procedure using immunotherapy. Insurance won’t cover it (big surprise) but the drug company has a special program we’ve applied for that drastically lowers the cost.
Well done to you and mark you both deserve it, all the hard work and sleepless on call nights you have put in paid off x...
Enjoy life
What initially caught my eye on your videos was your excitement and happiness when you talk. It is so rare these days. Good luck on your future endeavors!
This sounds amazing! And I’m glad you’re able to do this with such a supportive partner. Enjoy your hike and time away.
I'm gonna be 100% honest here Siobhan, this video honestly left me semi speechless. Not because I'm like sad or disappointed in any way because I am most defiantly not but because I'm just amazed about how far You, your TH-cam Audience and me personally have come in watching these videos as I think I have been watching your Videos for almost a year now and the amount of things I have learned from watching these videos is to me just amazing. Like through out this video when you were reflecting on your time doing call shifts I was kind of asking myself through questions as well. Like I may only be 17 and turning 18 in less than a month and you are undoutably older than me Siobhan but I think those questions are really really deep (obviously to me) and to be honest I almost feel like I won't really understand the value of them until I get older and probably graduate college and find a permanent job for my career. Anyway, this comment is long enough as it is by my standers so to finish it off. I'm really really excited and happy for you that you and mark get to go on a trip to Italy and possibly rome and I hope that you guys have an absoluly wonderful and eye opening time!!! You guys are absolutely positively 100% awesome and keep up the absolutely amazing work!!!! You guys have inspired us (Your TH-cam audience) so much and I can't wait to see what you guys end up doing in the future!!!
As some one in nursing school, I can officially say I hope you take this time for yourself. Enjoy your hike don’t worry about videos or anything but being in the moment. I can only imagine the stress of medical school. You have earned this time. Congratulations.
Hi Siobhan! I was so excited to see that you’d be shadowing flight paramedics. My uncle dedicated much of his life to the BC Ambulance Service’s Infant Transport Team, and flew thousands of babies from remote communities in BC to Vancouver hospitals. Hearing his stories put into perspective how crucial flight paramedics are in rural areas. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer in 2016, but I think he’d be happy to know the visibility you’re giving to people like him, who worked a lesser known job within the medical field. I hope you have a lovely trip and I can’t wait for what your future holds!
I love this idea. You two deserve this vision quest! I hope you come back refreshed and get everything you want out of the experience. I did 6 years of college (that was enough for me) and I was very fortunate to have an enjoyable summer, filled with a few fun-filled vacations and our (2 years later) incredible honeymoon.
I'm so, so happy for you Siobhan! I'm also very grateful to everything you've done for us, and your courage to tell the world about your life and experiences as a doctor. It's been an amazing journey to follow you on, and I'm hoping you'll love this next chapter of your life!
I can’t wait to continue to follow your amazing, inspiring, life! We are all so proud of you! 😊
I can't wait to see all the fun stuff you're up to! I am applying to occupational therapy graduate programs within the next few weeks so I'm absolutely thrilled to hear you'll be investigating a rehabilitation setting! Much love, Siobhan!
I'm so excited for the next round of videos. Best of luck on your journey through Europe and on the locums you and Mark take on while you're there. Still mind boggling to think you're a board certified specialist now!
I've been watching for a couple years and I am so happy for you!!! Your personality is beautiful & very inspiring. Go Siobhan!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Take time for yourself and grow & thrive!! Don't worry about your subscribers here ... If you don't want to share we will support you and be here for you when you get back!!
Yaaaaaaaaay! Congratulations! I can’t believe I’ve been following you for so long back when I wanted to go to Med school. I’ve taken a break on school to pursue my business but watching you along the way has been beautiful. I feel the same way lol trying to figure out life more now than ever because I feel like I’m close to 30 and want to make sure I’m fulfilled and not just working until I retire. I want to enjoy it 🤍✨also it’s crazy you’re going to Italy. My neighbor and I talked about taking a trip two days ago.
Same here. I can't believe some us have been subbed THIS long
mozeltov that is great
@@MiguelRPD congrats i am very happy for you
Congratulations Siobhan! I’ve loved seeing your informative, inspiring videos over the years. Hope you and your husband enjoy the hike and take the time to grow, reflect, have fun, and relax after years of hard work👏🏻💪🏻💕
I’ve followed you for years, and I have been so excited for you since your passed your specialist exams! You earned it!
Your viewers respect you for who you are, in and out of medicine. This sounds like an amazing adventure! Whatever you feel like sharing, we will appreciate it! And whatever you don‘t want to share along the way- that‘s okay too! We will cheer you on every step of the way!
Congrats on passing your residency! May you have a happy and fruitful medical career!!
That vision quest sounds incredible!!!! I love watching your videos you’re so inspiring Siobhan!!!! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the world of medicine!!! ❤️
Happy to hear you’re doing this for yourself! I’ve been watching on and off for a while now… since you were a student, and it’s so insightful and especially inspiring to see your journey💖
I don't know what to say! You're phenomenal Siobhan! 🥳💜 You and Mark deserve this. Enjoy your accomplishments and have fun ⛰️🚶♀️🌎🚶🏼
I'm so excited for your (and your husband's) future, both as doctors but also in your personal lives! You both certainly deserve a break, relaxation, and fulfillment, and I'm so glad you two are working to prioritize that. I look forward to seeing any videos you do choose to create and share. Your videos make me feel excited to discover my passions and work hard to create a better world for others as well as a better life for myself.
I’ve been following you for a long time and I am so excited to see where your journey takes you!
Congratulations Siobhan! ❤️ have a fantastic time hiking, it’ll be such a beautiful journey for you both xxx
I'm so excited for your journey, enjoy every moment and i can't wait to see your coming up videos. You are amazing. I still remember your night shift videos and your pager going off all the time while you were trying to get a little rest.
I'm glad you guys are taking time for yourselves! Only share what you want and when you really want to, not if you feel you should. It can be a written post, a picture, maybe even a 5 second clip that you're not even in it's just the scenery. If you never share anything from this adventure that's okay too. You can't pour from an empty cup so it's really important to remember your goal in all of this. We'll still be here when you get back.
First of all, congratulations on everything! You definitely deserve a break after such a long marathon. Your smile is so contagious from how happy you are about your upcoming journey! I just hope we get a glimpse of your amazing life.
This is so insane, I am a medical student and I have been following you since you were in your 3rd-year residency, and I am very happy for you for achieving this great achievement. I am so proud of you for what you have gone through during your residency and also excited for your next journey 🧡 Lots of love from Cambodia
I was just watching your old on-call vlogs for some inspiration and I see this on my notification - My day has been made! Huge congratulations on successfully completing residency!!
Congratulations! As a lupus patient, I appreciate you dedicating your life’s work to help improve our lives.
I’m so happy for you! I hope that y’all are able to see all that you want to see and enjoy yourselves as much as possible.
Congrats Violin MD!
God bless you!
The world needs more doctors like you.
Siobhan, I am soooo happy for you and your husband. I’m so excited to see new adventures! Congrats to your hard work and achievements. Can’t wait to see more ❤️
This sounds incredible! You have some pretty great intentions going into this big trip. Congratulations, you've earned it!
I'm so incredibly excited for you Siobhan! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your videos never fail to inspire me!
Congratulations!!!!!!!! I can’t believe I’ve been following you since you first started the residency. Your journey helped me to get a more realistic idea of the healthcare field and now I’m going to pharmacy next year!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and looking forward for your future videos!!!!!
So excited for all these videos! I hope you and your husband have the best time hiking together and make the best memories! xx
you are so awesome - I watched you in downtime during my entire nursing school journey. Share what you want! we would love to see your views and experiences but you never have to share more than what you want as far as the personal aspect. So happy for you - your hard work is paying off!! enjoy your time with your husband!! Your time in the rural villages and temporary places will be life changing I'm sure!
I cannot express this enough, this is such an awesome and important move for you guys! When you’re young without kids, now is the time to go out there in the world and experience the most you can! Learn as much as you can- this journey will take you to places you never thought possible. So excited for your next journey!
You did all that education and experiences with grace, diligence, and patience. Well done!! You deserve this transition trip and more.
Wow, so exciting! I wish both you and Mark nothing but the best on this amazing and well deserved new life journey!
Best of luck to you and Mark!! My family and I did the Inca Trail in Peru and that was the most difficult and life changing experience I've ever had.
Congrats on everything! Hopefully you'll take us along with you but either way - enjoy your time over there! :)
I stumbled across your channel several years ago and found your enthusiasm for medicine and path to becoming a doctor compelling. Congratulation on finishing the grueling schooling and training. I know it's not easy always being so upbeat and positive but you have always been a refreshing stop in the morass of TH-cam content. Best wishes.
So exciting!! It's been so inspiring going along with you as you worked towards accomplishing each goal. Enjoy some time finding again your joy and passion, I am sure it will serve to make you a better doctor by taking care of your own needs before committing to attending to others. Stay safe on your travels!
Your plans sound wonderful! I did L.T. in a small outlying hospital that was part of the Mayo Clinic system while waiting to sit for my jurisprudence exam for Texas licensure (offered only twice per year). I loved seeing how other places do the same tasks, and the people I met there. You two stay safe out there!
I can't wait for the the videos on other professions! I love your docs videos, but these are just awesome, how much respect you have for their expertise is great and I love learning so much
Wow! That's all so exciting! I'm really looking forward to seeing all you have in store for us! Be safe, have fun, and be blessed on your journey!
Hi Shiobhan!
I'm so excited and happy for you. You inspired many people such as myself to get into medicine (I just passed into the university this month, thank you for motivating me for the months of painful studying for it through your vlogs and videos).
Please enjoy your hiking adventure and greetings from Switzerland!
As always, you make me smile :) I will be waiting for you in Bulgaria, check out Rila & Pirin mountains, 7 Rila Lakes especially! I am also so excited for what’s about to come next as content in your channel. Thank you for all insights & inspiration ❤️
Oo thanks for the suggestions!!
Congrats! Sounds like an awesome trip! I’d love to see more of Mark being a doctor too!!
I love you so much Siobhan!!!! Thank you for being such a light and inspiration!!
I am so happy for you! I've also felt this way about finding a purpose for life and knowing myself again. I'm glad I'm not the only one 😌
Always excited when I see your notifications. I'm so happy for you!! And wish you all very best for your future ahead 💕
I'm so happy for you! Have as much fun as you can... cause you truly deserve it. Can't wait to see the content you've prepared for us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are a role model in every sense...!
Congratulations on finishing your residency. You will be an amazing doctor. Be safe and have an amazing time abroad. You both deserve that “break” so much. Thank you for all you do for all those in your community. Love from Minnesota!
Thank you for sharing this adventure, these years have been amazing. You are a very good person and a hard working too.
I am glad you’re taking the time off to be happy. It’s a privilege you have earned with every exam you have taken, skill you learned, patient your word’s have comforted and colleague who’s work you have used your platform to draw attention too. After such intense work in recent years you deserve to play your violin and exercise and spend time with Mark. I hope you feel comfortable sharing small bits of your hiking but I will fully understand it if you want it to be private and I will look forward to seeing you back when you feel ready for TH-cam again. Thank you for sharing your plans.
I’m an OT and very excited for you to shine light on this lesser known but valuable part of the rehab team. I also work in neuro-rehab! :)
I came here to say the same thing. Hi fellow OT!
Siobhan, you are so amazing. You have such a clear thought pattern and are so mature. I am so proud of you and LOVED watching you grow over the years! Have a great time with Mark. You both have earned it.
So so excited for you and all that’s coming. Love following along and learning from you. 🥰
so absolutely happy for you!! rheumatology is so fascinating 💜💜
I’m so happy for you and your husband that you two are taking time for yourself. I hope you have an incredible time. As curious as I am, and would love to see the journey, I fully respect your choice to not share it. I hope it feeds your soul with all the things it needs ❤️
So excited for you! Very happy you are taking us with you and your husband. Being with the flight docs should be so interesting. I am grateful to learn new things as you go on your journey! Thanks for not leaving us behind. Happy Trails and Travel!!!!
Sounds so very exciting! Hoping you enjoy your trip. You’ve worked so incredibly hard for so long. Thank you for enlightening us with your experiences! 🌺🌺🌺
I'm really excited for your video about stroke rehab! I'm an occupational therapist at a sub-acute rehab facility and it always surprises me how few people know what my job entails. Working in a rehabilitation setting is so rewarding and I wish more people knew about it!
I know what you do for patients. It’s incredible. My partner has leukaemia and then crashed with GBS twice. He learnt how to feed himself because OTs looked for ways to adapt spoons etc, to shave, to live and then to regain his Independence Day by day and that’s thanks to people like you. So sincerely thank you.
I did two different 6 months trips through Europe when I was a little bit younger and a little bit older than you. It was the best thing I ever did in terms of getting a broader perspective on my life and the experiences i wanted to have moving forward. Saw some amazing things and met amazing people who I’m friends with to this day. You will have the experience of a lifetime and you both more than worked hard enough to enjoy it before the next chapter begins.
You left me teary-eyed. I am incredibly proud of you! All your dreams are coming true! Congratulations Sibbion, you deserve to live your dreams. Have fun, and I can't wait for the next chapter, Doctor👏👏🌹
So excited for you, Siobhan! I wish the best for your hike and am excited to see your next videos! You rock!
I already miss “Hey guys I’m Siobhan a 5th year medical resident” 😭😭😭
Same😭
Why did I read Siobhan as Sebastian
I'm a lab technician at Stratford General...and I am SO EXCITED that you will be sharing experiences from these different roles. Especially the lab as we are all feeling awfully forgotten about right now.
I'm a lab tech too and I'm very excited! We often feel forgotten... I feel that it is worst now with the COVID. On lab tech week this year, my government said something like "thank you for your hard work with COVID testing". Like what?? We do waaay more than that and people don't even know 😂
Thank you for your service
@@karinegendron2695 thank you so much for what you do
I'm so excited about “our” new journey! Thanks for taking us along the way. I can't wait for all of it.
I think it is absolutely wonderful that the two of you will be taking this time to nurture your souls and to enjoy the present moment after you both have worked so hard for years.
15 years is a crazy long time, I don’t think I would have the patience 😭so proud of you!
Only halfway thru the video but I just want to say- SO ecstatic to hear you are taking a career break/travel break! I recently finished some school in January and did the same thing myself and I’m just now getting back to re-entering the workforce full-time. I learned so many things about myself through this and found my personal (partial) answer of what makes life fulfilling. Still on this journey, today and everyday, redefining my personal definitions of joy, success and overall happiness/health (:
Enjoy your time together! Make memories! A world awaits, 🍻Cheers!
Also, you are very lucky to have a partner that is willing and wanting to embark on such a journey with you! What a great life moment together.
Congratulations to you both, you both deserve it and stay safe on the hike very proud of you both! 💜 x
Congratulations 🎉 I can't wait to see how everything turns out, thanks for sharing your journey!
I would love to see how this hike is going to look like and what answers to this important questions you will find. I was thinking of something similar myself and I'm sure I'm not the only one in this yt community. So I believe you could help a lot of us with sharing your personal story in the comming year 😊
I’ve know multiple Doctors personally through my life. Its so interesting to talk to someone and know that they’re objectively smarter. It doesn’t make me feel bad its just like, “yep, thats a high IQ”. Thats a feeling that’s reinforced when watching you. Thoughts and feelings expressed eloquently through words. I think the things that you say are things most people feel but also lack the ability to verbalize it or to consciously reflect on.
I think that anyone is capable of becoming a doctor and that IQ is a very small factor in deciding intellectual ability. If you have a true passion for medicine (or whatever you want to be), and put in the effort and study time, you’ll be able to become whatever you’d like.
@@thatguy720 not to be argumentative, but of you took a random sample of doctors, tested their IQ, and then compared that average to the national average, the doctors would score higher. IQ tests aren’t perfect but its a standardized measurement. IQ I think is a good indicator of how quickly one can grasp new concepts. So in theory, someone of average intellect could become a doctor, but they’d need to apply themselves more. It’s also possible that intelligent is directly correlated to the ability to focus. Improving the ability to study.
@@sherbthesuperb3905 I 100% agree with you on that. But I also believe that IQ isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something that you develop over time during the years of the most rapid learning (from when you’re a baby throughout middle and high school). Im sure genetics is an aspect of it as well but yes, theoretically anyone can become a doctor. Doctors would definitely score higher in IQ AND EVEN MORE IN EQ! than the average person, because the average the person doesn’t work as hard as and challenge their brain as much as a doctor would.
The reason that I say IQ isn’t necessarily a big factor in how sophisticated someone is to become a doctor is because there are so many doctors with mental “obstacles” such as ADHD or ADD which are conditions that pretty much eliminates all attentive properties and the ability to focus. These people usually score less than the average IQ score (100), but are still able to study and withstand the rigorous workload that pre - doctoral students must complete. Like you said, they are a good indicator of how quickly someone can grasp concepts, but that’s only one skill a student may need to learn.
Thanks for chatting! 👍
@@thatguy720 I didn't read everything because your first sentence opinion shows me enough that you have no clue of what IQ comes from. IQ is definitely a mix of nature and nurture. Meaning that you are born with a certain IQ(depending on genetics and conditions while being in mother's womb) and is also affected by the environment as you grow up. But, it is almost 50/50 where you are less likely to ever have high IQ if the conditions in mother's womb or genetics were bad no matter the living conditions.
@@josephdahdouh2725 If you read my entire comment you would see that I addressed later on that there’s definitely some aspect genetics in your intelligence quotient. I do indeed understand how IQ works, but you aren’t exactly born with a specific IQ. There are genetic factors that influence your IQ score but I also believe it heavily depends on your environment.
Saying I have no idea where IQ comes from is an ignorant move. Also, it’s far more agreed in the scientific community that IQ’s aspects are far more Nurture than Nature. There have been numerous studies done to prove this and you also just said something that sounds like you think womb development is nature rather than nurture. Genetics is only pre-developing, meaning that once you start gestation in the womb, that’s NURTURE. Regardless, I hope you have a great day.
I am so happy for you!! We are so excited what happens on your journey and what other exciting things you discover about yourselves along the way
Amazing! All the best on your wonderful trip! You choose what you want to share with us. In the mean time, we will wait to see what you two have learned from your journey and your new adventures as practicing doctors. So happy for you both!! 💓 Safe travels...
My friend did the hike through Europe thing. It led him to get his PhD and now he works with the CDC. 💜 I think this is a great plan!
Great aspect on life. As a composer, strangely, I see many talented musicians pursuing medicine, like yourself. If you ever want new music, I would be happy to provide you with the music that I have written for violin.
I am currently getting my Masters degree in Music for Film and Television.
Anyway, congratulations on all of your dedication. It's amazing and such an honor how upfront and honest you are with your journey.
I love that you want to work in remote indigenous communities, there’s a lot of help we need. You’re inspiring.
I love to hear that you want to go to remote hospitals! I was doing some work in remote communities last month, and the need is unbelievable. I was only at the hospital for an afternoon but the need I saw had me speechless. Best of luck Siobhan! I’m so happy for you!
As someone who went from pursuing music to clinical psychology, I’ve always seen you as a beacon for my future. Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse of your journey.
Girl I remember watching one of your first videos when I was 11. I’m almost 17 now. I’m just blown away by the amount of passion and accomplishment
That’s awesome for both of you! You definitely need a break & recharge after all that school. I’m excited to see where you go and what you discover!
Congratulations you have worked hard to get to this stage. Your a true inspiration!
My best wishes to you and Mark,looking forward to seeing your ventures
Wow Siobhan, you have accomplished so much! Congratulations 🎉 I am so happy for you and your husband on your forthcoming adventures ☺️ can’t wait to see all the new content. Thank you for sharing these times with all of us! You must feel so proud of yourself 💜✨
Yes yes yes!!!! Great news! So so happy for you guys.
Congratulations Siobhan! I’ve loved seeing your informative, inspiring videos over the years
I've been watching your videos the last couple of years and I think your energy for life is inspiring.
So proud of you! I can’t wait to follow your journey.
Truly crying. I am so so happy for you. I'm on my way to medschool from a non-traditional route and have been on a long journey to get there and ask similar questions all the time! So good to see you taking your time to find you 💕
Dear Siobhan, although it would be wonderful follow on your journey backpacking, there are countless youtubers who have documented these things so if you need this time for you and Mark-take it! Congratulations on your title. It's such a massive achievement and what an inspiration and teacher you are to us all!
