This will differentiate you as a brand from other docs on TH-cam and IMO could lead to more divergent thinking for problem solving. However, your channel is awesome.

The pen story was wild! This was all super interesting. I’m a vet tech in an animal ER so we see this stuff daily (usually dogs - they find the weirdest things to eat). It’s almost always surgery to get the object out. So interesting what they do in human medicine! Also cool tip on the button battery! I learned something new :)
one of our cats bit off and ate my mom’s stud earring once. it had a bunch of gems in it and the sharp stud. we rushed him to the vet immediately but thankfully he passed it later without issues lol
My late cat loved nibbling on plants and flowers, and once she ate plastic pine needles that had shed from the Christmas tree... It came out the other way fortunately without issue.
@@rrrrye45123an MRI uses powerful magnets to take images. Magnetic objects would get pulled out of the body, ripping through flesh on the way. SpongeBob would have been forcefully removed from her
This is assuming that sponge bob was made out of metal, because it was made out of plastic, it will be no problem, I thinks that for the medical standpoint x-ray goes first, and if x-ray does not reveal anything then MRI goes second.
Thanks Violin MD. your videos are not only educational but pretty fun to watch. It answers a lot of our hidden medical questions.... like what happens when u swallow magnet!!!
I love how you made a video on this topic that was so positive and informative. I’m a mum and I’ve been terrified of my children swallowing button batteries ever since it was highlighted as a significant issue in our ante-natal class. Too many babies have been lost from that. It was nice to watch a video on this topic that empowers people with knowledge rather than depresses us with awfully sad stories. Love your work ❤
Love medical mysteries? Watch this next - one simple dietary mistake that destroyed this woman's legs and sent her to the emergency department! th-cam.com/video/kXvgYZeTcAg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! This was great content, as always. Years ago my friend was having dental work and the dentist dropped a drill bit in her throat. She reflexively swallowed it. After many days of daily X-rays, she passed it naturally!
Great case presentations/discussions, all translated from doctorese to English. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Kudos from this (retired) endocrinologist. Keep up the great work!
Years ago I tried to get someone to stop using wire bbq brushes due to the frightening accidents of them “hanging” around on bbq racks. Scared stuff! Scoffed at me and has never stopped using them
Really enjoy these videos. You have a great way of presenting the information, helping us understand it without an lot of "doc-speak". The marker in the belly for all of those years was incredible! Thank you and keep it going!
Excellent video! My friend’s child swallowed a plastic button once and the doctors kept telling her it didn’t happen as it wasn’t showing up on the X-rays. Well, she was proved right when the button ended up in the diaper a few days later. 🤣
Dr. Siobhan I could watch your videos forever, I absolutely love and cherish my time spent on your channel, I just want you to know that I think you’re such a fantastic human and I get so excited to see new content. I always learn so much, some stuff I already know and confirms my knowledge. I also work in healthcare but it’s so fascinating to learn how doctors assess and diagnose medically.
Hi Violin MD, I am a big fan of yours and the videos you produce. One question will will post more videos of you playing your Violin either solo or alongside other musicians please😀😀👍👍
It was such a thrill back when you announced you were going to be a rheumatologist. When will you post some RA stories? I was diagnosed with RA in 1987 and recently, rheumatoid vasculitis.
one of my friends from grade school has a son who recently swallowed a thumb tack. Fortunately, his bowels are fine and the thumb tack made it's natural exit without any further issues.
Not long ago we were at a friends dinner, it was a takeout meal and one of the guests found a barbecue brush bristle in her meal!! Good thing she didn't swallow it!!
Quite frankly, I love these medical mysteries because they are very thought provoking and educating. However they are also very shocking, I mean, come on, I would have never imagined someone swallowing a chopstick! Personally I love the story of the man who hiccupped for 3 years straight. Like, obviously that is really bad and I would not like that in the slightest however it is very fascinating and I am still absolutely shocked to hear that actually happened. Anyway Siobhan, you are awesome and keep up the absolutely amazing work!!!
Hi Siobhan! I am interviewing to be a medical assistant in a rheumatology office. I know you are a rheumatologist, do you have any advice for me ? This would be my first time in this specialty. I’ve worked in primary care and dialysis before but I’m so nervous for this interview!
We had a severely autistic teenager present to the emergency department with constipation. One of my colleagues was relieving the constipation with an enema and didn’t really understand what she was seeing when she got results. It turns out the poor kid had been eating pieces of foam from her school bus seat for maybe a month or two. Nobody knew how bad it would and didn’t figure anything out until she was in the ER.
Many years ago, while visiting Cape Cod, I was told the following story: a man was in the ER because he had a large zucchini stuck up his butt. After it was removed and the man was waiting for his ride home, the doctor put his arm around him and said, “Young man, you have to learn to chew your vegetables more thoroughly.”
I work with mentally disabled people and I have heard about 2 clients who are foreign objects. One was swallowing spoons and did it over and over again and the other one is eating everything: smokes,dirt,grass, stones,…
I once got a kinked feeding tube stuck in my esophagus. The J portion of my GJ tube migrated from my jejunum to my esophagus during a vomiting episode and got lodged there, while being folded over on itself. It was barely visible on an x-ray. I was admitted to the hospital from the ER. I was in excruciating pain, but it was the night before Thanksgiving, and Interventional Radiology wasn’t available due to the holiday. The doctors left the tube there for 36 hours before IR took it out. I’ve never forgiven them for disregarding my pain and leaving it there so long.
Fish bones are scary stuff, they can be extremely sharp and at the same time elastic enough to find the path of least resistance through your soft tissues once they perforate. There was a story a while back about a person that had a fish bone perforate through the back of his throat and into his spinal column, causing an abscess inside his spine that then led to a brain infection.
I put a patient to sleep years ago for a thoracotomy. He had a tumor, thought to be cancer, in his right lung. When the pathologist revealed what the frozen section was; it turned out not to be a tumor, but a small gear shift knob! There were no scars on his chest due to a vehicular accident. We were all amazed with the "diagnosis"! This happened 50 years ago, and I remember it like yesterday! Imagine going under anesthesia for lung cancer and then waking up and being told your tumor turned out to be a gear shift knob! Wow!
A prof of mine at university (studying med) told us about a case where a small child inhaled a lego piece (I imagine a really tiny one) and nobody noticed. Years later the child developed a severe cough that wouldn’t go away, on X-ray they saw something that they thought might be cancerous but further examination revealed the Lego piece which was then removed, cough resolved.
Hi doctor, my father underwent angioplasty 6 months ago, he is coughing (dry cough) since last 10-12 days.. Almost all the time... Why is this happening, any possible reasons? Please reply ma'am
Lipomas do not show up on XRay or CT or Sonogram. How do I know? One got loose in the folds of my abdominal wall. Intense pain could not sit up for months. No one believed me because nothing shown on the scans, but you could feel it on my body. Finally a dr cut it out and said it was larger than 2 golf balls stuck together. Thank you for bringing awareness to things that do not show up on imaging. That could have saved me months of pain and thousands of dollars.
My uncle was having abdominal pain & thought he had a kidney stone, as he gets them often. Went to the dr & nope, it was a small bullet that was in the deer meat he had eaten the day before! Needless to say, he chews his food thoroughly now.
what i am wondering is what medical checks for pancreas problems should i have done with my annual exam. plus what other non typical biomarkers i should ask for..
For the button battery/honey thing: It's a good tip! But rushing (!) to the emergency room is the priority! If you don't have honey, or the child is refusing to eat it, then just skip it. Where I am ingesting multiple (especially strong) magnets would lead to a recommendation for immediate surgery. (If not still removable via endoscopy of course) If you're not sure whether whatever somebody swallowed might show up on an x-ray and you can get a second one bring it to the emergency room! They can x-ray the object to see whether it shows up or not. I have a picture of an x-ray of a baby that swallowed the moving parts of a zipper, the slider with the pulltab (pulled off his playpen...). Luckyly it was already almost out. Sadly it's not possible to add pics to youtube comments, because I still find the thought of a zippable baby amusing. :D
the doctor who chose not to immediately remove a needle made a huge mistake. such a sharp object is guaranteed to perforate the bowels. the odds of this not requiring surgery were extremely small from the beginning, and it could have easily gone much worse.
I’ve been walking around with either a piece of windshield glass or a wad of chewing gum in my right lung’s bottom lobe for almost ten years now. It showed up on X-ray after a bad car crash, but was not a priority since I had more dire complications from the crash that needed treatment. Anyway, after being unsuccessfully treated for asthma several month later …after all, I was wheezing, must be asthma..a pulmonologist did testing that ended up showing the foreign body on a scan. Oh, that is why inhalers etc never helped! 12:55 Referred to hospital for a bronchoscopy. They saw whatever it was I had inhaled in the crash, and tried to pull it out but it was stuck. A second attempt also failed to remove it. A third attempt was made in which a surgeon would cut in from the side…but there was some problem with anesthesia and the attempt was stopped. It was decided that the object was clearly with crumble glass or (my opinion) a wad of chewing gum, not going anywhere, so leave it be. I was referred to a cardio thoracic surgeon who said he’d flat out remove the lobe, but I didn’t want to deal with another major surgery (had a lot of repair work done already on abdominal area after major seat belt trauma, etc) . I figure I am like a box of Cracker Jack, and whatever is in my lung is the prize. While one doctor insisted it had to be a bit of glass from the wind shield, since it was oddly shaped and hard, I still think it is chewing gum. Anyone who has ever tried to clean gum off the bottom of a desk where it has sat for months knows how hard it can get!
I wish you were my rheumatologist. I have definitely got an autoimmune disease. The one that my GP thinks I have is Lupus but she isn't a rheumatologist. But my ANA is negative so it is proving difficult to diagnose. :( I just want answers, treatment and relief! I have been suffering for years and to be honest it is making me sicker than my cancer is. I am almost in remission but feel sicker than ever. I have been in the ER multiple times with no answers. You would probably find my case fascinating.

Hi Siobhan when will you do more day in the life videos...I love watching your videos❤❤❤
Should have SOME music in SOME MORE episodes. Could pick an appropriate piece or passage of a piece or compose a little piece you think relates to the video being discussed. This will differentiate you as a brand from other docs on TH-cam and IMO could lead to more divergent thinking for problem solving. However, your channel is awesome. Your freckles are awesome-er and your passion is awesome-ist. AND, thank you for becoming a doctor!
The pen story was wild! This was all super interesting. I’m a vet tech in an animal ER so we see this stuff daily (usually dogs - they find the weirdest things to eat). It’s almost always surgery to get the object out. So interesting what they do in human medicine! Also cool tip on the button battery! I learned something new :)
Oh man I can only imagine what you see animals ingest!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like to know brand name of that pen to buy a bunch of them.
one of our cats bit off and ate my mom’s stud earring once. it had a bunch of gems in it and the sharp stud. we rushed him to the vet immediately but thankfully he passed it later without issues lol
My late cat loved nibbling on plants and flowers, and once she ate plastic pine needles that had shed from the Christmas tree... It came out the other way fortunately without issue.
Thank you for including the case references in the description.
No problem! They are great cases to review!
It's a good thing they did an X-ray....If it was an MRI with Sponge Bob..they would have gotten it back without surgery
oh my gosh... a terrifying thought!!
Can you please explain why, I didn't get it
@@rrrrye45123an MRI uses powerful magnets to take images. Magnetic objects would get pulled out of the body, ripping through flesh on the way. SpongeBob would have been forcefully removed from her
This is assuming that sponge bob was made out of metal, because it was made out of plastic, it will be no problem, I thinks that for the medical standpoint x-ray goes first, and if x-ray does not reveal anything then MRI goes second.
MRI would never be the first imaging option for foreign bodies for that reason exactly!
Wow! The button battery! 😮 Mind Blown!
As a critical care nurse I really appreciate your amazing videos! Awesome!!😃👍
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for everything you do. 😊
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
The things we see in people's colon (mostly older males); I could write a book about them.
Is THAT where all my socks have gone!?
These case studies are a great way to learn about anatomy and physiology.
Thanks Violin MD. your videos are not only educational but pretty fun to watch. It answers a lot of our hidden medical questions.... like what happens when u swallow magnet!!!
Dr. Deshauer, I hope you and Dr. Mark are fine! Missing your videos!❤
I love how you used the Friends couch scene to prove a point. That’s one of my favorite episodes.
I love how you made a video on this topic that was so positive and informative. I’m a mum and I’ve been terrified of my children swallowing button batteries ever since it was highlighted as a significant issue in our ante-natal class. Too many babies have been lost from that.
It was nice to watch a video on this topic that empowers people with knowledge rather than depresses us with awfully sad stories.
Love your work ❤
When you mentioned giving a child who swallowed a button battery honey, I immediately posted that on Facebook. This is a GREAT tip for parents!

I have watched several of your videos, and it’s clear you are an amazing young lady. Dr.,! Oh, how we need doctors like you.
Dr. Deshauer, can you play Cello?
Putting in mouth is what children are made of a standard kiddo thing 😂
A lot of these things are true of our pets too. Which actually makes me think a collab with a vet somehow could be interesting
Can u make video on Shingles Virus
Ooooooooooooh; Whos stuck in the trachea, unable to move?
_SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!_
Wow, Dr. S. This is an incredible video. So many things happen. This brings awareness to all. Thank you for this and all of these videos.
Never a dull moment in your line of work.....hope all is well..thank you for all you do🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
😂 Siobhan! You're so funny! Another phenomenal video! 💗
Wow, I had no idea about the button battery! I always learn so much from you. Thank you, Siobhan! 😍
Gotta love these medical mysteries ❤. Thanks, Siobhan, for putting the case reference in the description 🫡
Please more content on strange microbial infections and parasites. It is so fun to watch.
‘Doctors shouldn’t dismiss patients stories’ THANK YOU!!!!
What a relief ! I thought poor Spongebob ended up as a contraceptive !
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
If this video doesn't make you more diligent, I don't know what will. Great!
Thanks Once Again For The GREAT Content !!!
5:31, ya Kitimat-Stikine
Really fascinating, thank you for sharing these stories.
Love your videos and potentially life saving tips!
Love a good Saturday morning medical mystery! Good stuff as always, Siobhan!
You are such an incredible storyteller, i love your videos!

I love it when I get a notice that you have a new video 😊
Gosh! These are fascinating stories, but terrifying 😅
one of my friends from grade school has a son who recently swallowed a thumb tack. Fortunately, his bowels are fine and the thumb tack made it's natural exit without any further issues.
Such an awesome video! Educational and fun to watch!
Thank you for the great content!
This video really pushed my boundaries for squeamishness, but it was still really interesting. Looking forward to your next one!
Tiny explorers are a kiddo thing
Really annoying how youtube wont let the images of internal organs be shown.
Overexposed toy story 😅
What are the death rates of swallowing foreign objects in Canada? A most intriguing episode; thanks!
Not long ago we were at a friends dinner, it was a takeout meal and one of the guests found a barbecue brush bristle in her meal!! Good thing she didn't swallow it!!
Keep it going! Very nice video format!
I can't get over the creative use of stock video in this one 😂
Quite frankly, I love these medical mysteries because they are very thought provoking and educating. However they are also very shocking, I mean, come on, I would have never imagined someone swallowing a chopstick! Personally I love the story of the man who hiccupped for 3 years straight.

It's why I use foil, on the grill... seen to many story's about wires
My uncle was having abdominal pain & thought he had a kidney stone, as he gets them often. Went to the dr & nope, it was a small bullet that was in the deer meat he had eaten the day before! Needless to say, he chews his food thoroughly now.

Hi 👋 😊
the doctor who chose not to immediately remove a needle made a huge mistake. such a sharp object is guaranteed to perforate the bowels. the odds of this not requiring surgery were extremely small from the beginning, and it could have easily gone much worse.
Wow

I was referred to a cardio thoracic surgeon who said he’d flat out remove the lobe, but I didn’t want to deal with another major surgery (had a lot of repair work done already on abdominal area after major seat belt trauma, etc) . I figure I am like a box of Cracker Jack, and whatever is in my lung is the prize.
While one doctor insisted it had to be a bit of glass from the wind shield, since it was oddly shaped and hard, I still think it is chewing gum. Anyone who has ever tried to clean gum off the bottom of a desk where it has sat for months knows how hard it can get!
A phone! I can’t even swallow pills !!
Love is not a kiddo thing 💘 as child is overcared with toys purchase by parents
Swallowing a cell phone would almost certainly void your warranty. ("Stomach acid *is liquid damage, ma'am. Also, ew.")
1. Plastic objects don't always show up on X-rays
2. Don't dismiss unlikely stories
But you forgot #3...Don't poke at your tonsils with a pen!! 😋
