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! 🙂
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.
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.
*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!!!
I’m in love with how professional but understandable your videos are. The way you engage your viewers is outstanding!
6:05 Do you also have a conference room for noisy families?
lol. xD
@Violin MD Serious! some people in the hospital waiting and wardrooms need to think about others as well as themselves! so people are so noisy and disrespectful to others!
My father has been in the hospital (ICU and step down, and back to ICU) for the last month!
and some people are so selfish towards others! I wish you were my father’s doctor!!
?
Hahaha that’s funny ?
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
I GOT PLACED AT HAMILTON HEALTH SCIENCE CENTRE FOR MY RT CLINICAL ROTATION. I WILL SEE YOU
so lucky
How do you feel about RT program so far?
Matt Monterrey you’re so lucky
When are you going to be able to officially say that you’re a third year medical resident?
July!
Big oops, yeah, for some reason I thought she was a third year med student.
@Naomi H.
It is all clinical work in residency. You probably are thinking of medical school.
The 4th year is clinicals, right? She might not post much then. Or maybe she will.
She became a 2nd year medical resident in July, so should be in 5 months I believe.
I love how you seemed to incorporate more “teaching” in this vlog. It made me feel like I learned something without trying to!
I just love that you had to check in on that patient one more time before going home ?
❤️
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!
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!?
You’re always so perky and smiley. I aspire to be like you. Just positive vibes❤?
I’m excited to watch this . I’m 15 and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on 21st April 2018 and was in dka
It’s so amazing to see conditions you have portrayed in videos, especially when it’s so accurate!
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
I will love to see wheelchair race challenge with permission
