Day in the Life of a Doctor: Night Shift ON CALL in the Hospital!

Join me for my first call shift as an attending physician! This shift is called a "nocturnist shift" because I stay in the hospital and look after 150 patients admitted to the internal medicine service overnight. It may not look too different from my previous call shifts, but this time I don't have a supervisor to review with... I'm an independent physician!

Makes me so happy to hear you say you are a specialist!! I've been watching your journey for such a long time!! You got this Siobhan! 🥰

[momofschnauzers]

And this is your first shift ... what a crazy one. It's not difficult to see why SO many Doctors and Medical Staff are suffering burn-out. Your dedication, intelligence and enthusiasm are amazing. Just don't forget to take care of YOU.

[RandyMullis]

That's a lot of pagers! So much responsibility, and you are 100% up to the task! Good to see you, Siobhan!

As a patient you don’t see the behind the scenes work the doctors put in - people think they’re just not coming to see you because they can’t be bothered. I wish everyone could see this video to see there are so many things going on, so many other patients and some are more urgent, if you’re not getting seen immediately that’s a good thing because it means you can wait whereas someone else can’t! I’m amazed by how Siobhan does it all with a smile on her face, I definitely couldn’t stay so upbeat if I was that busy!

Being responsible for 150 patients and covering 5 pagers is exessive. Was this happening in the "before" times too or is this due to the shortage of medical staff we're experiencing in Ontario now? This is really scary. You are an exceptional doctor but doing this on all calls can only lead to burnout.

It is really lovely to see you in full action and that you are now an attending physician. You sure have a lot of responsibility. Thanks for sharing insights into your work life with us. Would be nice to also see your husband again in a video with you occiasionally.

You inspired my brother to be a doctor/surgeon he is now studying at The Royal College Of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland in neurosurgery

I have been following you since your first year of residency. This episode exhibits new confidence, which also shows in your production quality. How do you look so fresh-faced after a sleepless night on call? Maybe you should develop a line of skin care products 😀

[misseselise]

this is a good time to remind everyone to keep an up to date living will. you never know when you’ll be too sick/incapacitated to make your own decisions

[FM-gswt]

Your gentle, caring attitude is so nice to see when you talk about your patients. I would be so blessed to have you as a Doctor.

[GracieBumblebee]

I started tearing up when you introduced yourself as a physician. I’m so proud of you - thank you for taking us on this journey with you!

[britneynicole]

I first started watching back when she was a first year Internal Medicine resident! It has been such an amazing five years to watch her journey to becoming a staff physician! Again, congratulations!!

[davidp]

This is a perfect way to start my Saturday afternoon. I'm so used to hearing you say "medical resident" and now you're a staff physician. So awesome!

[brookem]

I work as an overnight CT Tech in the ED, I LOVE watching her videos and getting to see the entire picture of the process, especially when it involves patients needing CT scans 😜 Still so educational and fun to learn about!

[Chloeoeo]

Its so great to finally hear you call yourself a specialist rather than resident! I am so happy for you, and even though I don't actually know you, I am so proud! You have worked so hard and have finally arrived! Amazing job!

[juliescott]

How many patients did you end up seeing? I was out of breath watching you hustle. I would feel so relieved to have a physician like you taking care of me or one of my loved ones.

[sofiasousapires]

Yes! So exciting to watch your fist shift as a staff physician! Stay safe Siobhan! 💜

[Joedallasbabe]

It makes me so incredibly happy and proud to hear you say you’re OFFICIALLY a rheumatology and internal medicine specialist. Major congratulations! 🥳 I’ve been watching you for a while now and you always have such an amazing, uplifting, beautiful attitude and to see you grow is truly amazing and inspiring Dr. Siobhan. Thank you for sharing your journey! ♥️ Much love and respect 🫡

[suzannestubbins]

So wonderful to see you as true physician, not a resident. So very proud of you!😘

[jayceco]

I love how you handle the cases very smart and calm.. How I wish all Dr’s are same as you. ❤❤❤
