Day in the Life of a Doctor (Ft. Septic Shock)

Join me and my husband Mark for a day in the life of a doctor in the hospital. We’ve flown up to Sault St. Marie, Ontario to help with the doctor shortage. Learn about septic shock, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia (high potassium) and some very unusual heart rhythms!

Thank you to the Sault Area Hospital, Hali and Sydney and to the entire medical team for making this video possible.

It must be so special to work in the same field as your husband. The amount of mutual understanding must be huge. CANADIAN POWER COUPLE

Ok so of course we all know she is a literal angel on earth, but can we talk about how SO IS HER HUSBAND?!?!?!?!?! "let's do something nice for the nurses" my heart melted. Literally a perfect couple of completely angelic people.

[ChaiLatte]

I'm so grateful that the hospitals you work in let you record these vlogs. I feel like in the US they wouldn't let you do this.

[SpicyBricy]

Are you always so happy and perky? I've been a RN for 35 years and I haven't had the pleasure of coming across a physician like you. God bless you and your husband for your work and bedside manner.

[robbieomalley]

As an RN, I so appreciate you taking care of those nurses! It's always nice to feel appreciated -- something so seldom these days! <3

[marissalee]

I love these "Day in the life of a doctor videos", it's so educational and gives an insider look into how health care professionals take care of patients day in and day out! Thank you for all that you do!

[abibuckle]

Having Mark in these videos is SO sweet:) you guys are such a great team!

[mackenzieb]

Was in emerg last night with a broken hand, and the amount of code blues I heard broke my heart. So grateful for our doctors ♥️♥️

[JesiErin]

I love that doctors are taking the time to make youtube channels. I don’t know how they manage it all, but I love it.

[miss.campbell]

I love that you are so kind to the nurses! I have a vascular surgeon who is fantastic with the nurses that work with her and it makes me respect her even more! She relies on them and uses their expertise a lot!

[calebbuswell]

I love hearing you introduce yourself as a specialist after all these years.

[incarosen]

This is a perfect study break for me! I’m a med student currently studying endocrinology. It’s very complicated, so this gives me courage ☺️ thanks doc! 💕

[bengt_axle]

It is great to see a channel about practicing medicine in Canada, especially outside of major metropolitan areas, where they may not have the same resources and specialists. Your channel is very interesting and well narrated.

[c.s.]

Dr. Mark seems to be a natural at vlogging. Also, I liked the dynamic between you two; super informative!

[imogenoliver]

Mark’s addition to your videos is great Siobhan!!! Those nurses will always be appreciative of your kindness and bringing of food ☺️.

We lived in Moose Factory Ontario for 5 years and locum or visiting physicians were really what allowed our communities to have access to healthcare so thank you for doing what you do and bringing awareness to these parts of healthcare in Ontario that are often overlooked.

I am a systems engineer. I went straight to the signal interference. The only thought I had different was what's called a "Ground loop" where currents flow through the equipment (patient) where it shouldn't. Usually ground loops create a hum noise. Or problems with communicating from one thing to the other. It's detected by measuring current between different parts and seeing that it's not zero. The worst case is infamous in rock performance. A musicians microphone was connected on one side of the stage and the electric guitar on the other. He stepped up for his performance, grabbed the mic stand with one hand the guitar fret board with the other. He then writhed and gyrated, there was a loud humming, the crowd roared with his exciting performance, and he finally fell to the stage electrocuted.

Hello Dr. Siobhan, That was a great time of you with your husband taking care of all kinds of patients in the hospital. I appreciate your good service Siobhan

[TheGeeoff]

Thanks for a couple nurse shout-outs!

So many strong team members in a hospital. Often I think house-keeping are some of the most under-rated heroes.

PS. I've seen dextracardia twice and it is kinda cool. Once we could not get an ECG that made sense until the older, laid-back head of the department suggested we reverse the leads. Another time, a parent of a child with known cardiac issues told us as we were putting on monitors so that we wouldn't be confused.
