DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOCTOR: Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Join me as I vlog in the hospital for a typical day in the life of a doctor! Learn about diabetic ketoacidosis, watch emergency simulation exercises and see how a medical team works together!
I want to keep showing you as much as possible in the hospital – from interactions with nursing and allied health professionals to medical emergencies and interesting diseases.

My weekly dose of positive vibes and medical education.
@Violin MD Well, we are now known what all ingredients were involved at the product so-called Halki. Did you notice the ingredients included through the Halki can be located in the grocery stores itself? One more fact is the ingredients involved in it were completely natural and extracted from pure plant extracts. So, therefore, it is 100% safe and cause zero or no side effects. You can undoubtedly intake along with your diet taken in daily routines.

Amen
Exactly ?
Amen!
Always great to hear from you David!
I have no personal interest in ever working as a medical professional but I always find these so interesting to watch- keep going and thank you for sharing!:)
@Brooke Hobbs My first attempt to control my blood sugar was to eat a more low-carb diet, which helped a lot. If I stuck to a VERY restrictive diet I could keep my blood sugar where it needed to be. But if I had even so much one ham sandwich one white bread or one fast-food meal, my sugars would spike and stay elevated for quite awhile.
I fundamentally distrust pharmaceuticals, believing that they often cure one problem only to cause one or more other problems. And I have tried herbal supplements, but the ones I tried did not work. With the Halki protocol, I still cannot eat anything I want, but I can eat a reasonable diet (some paste and white bread and the occasional fast-food meal) without my blood sugars spiking. And when I do eat some sugary treat, my blood sugar still spikes, but not like it used to. for mmore information visit here https://tinyurl.com/halkyremedy >
Shannon McDonald same I just find them really interesting
I’m the same way! I hate biology and learning about this stuff but I love seeing what it’s like behind the scenes. I’ve had many relatives in the hospital and whenever I visit I always wonder what is happening in the “background”
@Abby haha! I don’t know anyone personally but it’s so interesting I just finished ambulance Australia on bbc iplayer and that was so interesting too!
Same here
Siobhan!!!! You killed it with this one!! I loved the animation when you were explaining diabetic ketoacidosis. Such a cool way to incorporate education into your already entertaining videos. Keep it up!! ?⚕️ ❤️
As a Type One Diabetic, I am somewhat grateful you showed this. People don’t see this side of diabetes. So thank you lol
I have t1d
@Adam 1 Only if your blood sugars are frequently outside of the ranges experiented by non-sufferers of diabetes.
I know right I actually watched this to learn more about dis because I had it 4 months ago lel
@Adam 1 people with T1D can have major problems even when doing everything correctly. You can eat the same meal at the same time everyday, get the same physical activity, and you never get the same results. I’d imagine most of the time T1Ds enter DKA due to illness, bad insulin, kinks in insulin pump tubing, or maybe even a bad pump site that doesn’t absorb insulin well. You’re also more prone to DKA when rationing insulin or using 25$ Walmart insulin due to high costs. DKA can happen pretty quickly regardless of whether or not they ate. It’s very often seen in undiagnosed patients before insulin therapy. However now that CGMs are more common it’s easier to catch these issues until they become major problems.
I totally agree!! I’m a type one diabetic too! 🙂
Thank you so much for addressing DKA as a person living with T1D it’s nice to see how the staff respond to this medical emergency
I totally agree!! I have t1d as well! 🙂
Tie Dye I was in DKA when I was diagnosed
You seem like such a kind and open minded doctor. It’s really cool that even through the screen I can tell you really care about your patients! I just really hope if , or more realistically when I need to go to the hospital I get a doctor like you. I live in the states and being a minority some doctors can be very patronizing and judgmental especially with things that contradict their own personal and more specifically religious beliefs, and you just seem so caring and opposite from sadly a lot of the experiences with men and women in the medical field I’ve had here in the states. I just really think although you’re just starting your career doctors everywhere could really take some pointers from you and your sensitive yet realistic attitude about healing people. Thanks for letting us get a glimpse into your life and career, I love your channel!
Stevie Ferrari I couldn’t agree with you more! We need a lot more Dr’s like her!
It’s so true, I’ve only had maybe three really really good doctors. It’s understandable that they’re busy and we’re not their only concern but it’s still nice to feel like you’re the main focus for a few min! She seems like she would make you feel like the only patient in the hospital!
I’m in love with how professional but understandable your videos are. The way you engage your viewers is outstanding!
*I have never clicked SO FAST! Doctor vlogs are SO INTERESTING. So amazing that you are able to show us what the profession is actually like.*
Sean Tran It’s so awesome!!!
Random question. Do you wear a Fitbit if so you must have crazy amount of steps a day up and down those stairs ??♀️
At my hospital in SA… I walk about 22km on a call! (Obs and gynae)
@Kay Cepeda 🙂 thanks for letting us know. I guess it varies from place to place
At the hospital I work at (as a nurse) we are allowed to wear watches. If I’m doing a sterile procedure the sterile gloves go above my watch.
My mum is a senior nurse and always has her fitbit in her pocket at work because bear below the elbow but she tracks crazy steps even so.
@Rach L I didn’t know that Rach. Thank you. Love learning new things. I love this channel because not only is she kind and positive but her superscribers are as well.
I love how you seemed to incorporate more “teaching” in this vlog. It made me feel like I learned something without trying to!
My nephew was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 18 months old. He was brought into the ER with what we thought was just croup… turns out he was in full blown DKA. We almost lost him. Thank you for this video! It’s interesting to see it from a Doctors point of view now that I’ve seen it from a patients loved ones point of view.
I’m so glad he’s okay I got dka 4 months ago and was in reassusitation and intensive care and agent in a short 6 day coma and I understand how scary it all is
Wow you are a truly caring doctor, staying back and checking on those patients and putting them first to make yourself feel comfortable. You are an amazing role model to me and I love your channel, keep being awesome.
You’re like Bill NYE the science guy. You make learning fun. But you’re cuter ???
Bill nye is soo boring
Except Bill Nye doesn’t have a graduate degree and is an engineer not a scientist.
You’re always so perky and smiley. I aspire to be like you. Just positive vibes❤?
I absolutely love your perspective on being a resident and about how everything is a learning opportunity! I am a nursing student and I really try to channel my inner Siobhan when I’m faced with new challenges in clinical. Love your videos!!
I just love that you had to check in on that patient one more time before going home ?
❤️
I work in a small, older hospital. Your hospital looks HUGE and so fancy! I absolutely love all the different teams, and learning opportunities that come with larger hospitals. The fact that you have a family conference room where the doctors and health care team update family members as a team is very nice!
Watching you after a physics exam , is the best therapy ever ?????
I love your excitement to learn and to teach! I’m still in undergrad and hearing about all these opportunities to grow through school makes medicine feel so much more within reach. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
As a T1 Diabetic, I can personally vouch for Ketoacidosis not being fun. When I was diagnosed I was urinating every hour and a half – Do you know how much of an impact that frequency has on life!?
