24 hour call shift: day in the life of a doctor

What Your URINE Says About Your Health: Doctor Explains

Shocking cause of deadly meat allergy: medical mystery solved!

I think it's so important that you mentioned how you only film people who have consented to be in your videos, even if they're just in the background. It really shows the level of care and concern you have for everyone at the hospital, not just your patients.

You two play violin together!? OMG! Cutest couple ever.

[MsStina]

I've been here long enough to know that violin was what initially connected the two of you. Feels like an eternity ago.

Welcome back Siobhan and Mark! It’s good to see you both!

An ambulance was once called for me because I was feeling incredibly light headed and couldn't stop shaking. When the paramedics arrived, they checked my blood sugar, and could swear I remember hearing a gasp. Turns out I was severely hypoglycemic. The paramedics debated whether to administer glucagon seeing as they’d never given the shot to someone conscious before, reiterating their disbelief that I was awake. Fortunately, I managed to eat tons of sugar tablets and stabilize, but the thought of enduring a 72-hour fast after a couple seizures is so scary! I hope the girl who went through that is okay now and recovering smoothly.

I missed watching your videos! They always bring so much joy into my day as your work ethic is amazing, you are extremely caring and well-spoken and I admire that you are so knowledgable!

[jamespaddle]

Dr. Deshauer, you are amazing! As a medical student, your videos have been so helpful during my medical education. Ex : just the other day, my teacher told our class of a strange case involving a man with a red rash, swollen legs, joint pain, subdermal hematomas and a restricted diet. I answered : "did the patient have scurvy? And the doctor replied : "yes he did". Thank you for all of your videos Dr. Deshauer!

the doctor's orchestra sounds like something i would love to do! I'm a freshman studying neuroscience and I'm also preparing to give my grade 5 violin exams. I had no idea something like this existed!!!

[becsterbrisbane]

Gahhh, I'm actually invested in that patient now! You gotta find out what happened to her! And welcome back!

[Toongeek]

Yay! I was hoping these would return someday!

[madeleineoshea]

I’ve missed your videos so much! I’ve been rewatching your old videos when you were still a resident - and seeing this new video made my day!

Best Wishes

MY FAV DOCTOR DUO IS BACK 😭😭♥️♥️ missed you guys so much.

[rosieaustin]

Hi beautiful Dr!! I used to suffer with hypoglycemia and it got to be a daily issue and what healed it for me was cutting out sugar completely and now I only get it once every few weeks maybe and only if I’m trying to lose weight by fasting it’s been three years now and I have zero cravings for sugar It’s been totally worth it! 🎉

[sarahharris]

As a Type 1 Diabetic AND who has a large history (past and present) of seizures, this was so cool to watch!! Seeing things from the inside and kinda opposite of what a T1D diagnosis might be was interesting!! Great to see you again and glad to have you back!!
