Hi Guys! Currently I'm on my infectious diseases rotation (a sub-specialty of internal medicine). Today I'm taking you to the hospital to see what a day is like in this specialty! The focus is treating infections - viruses, bacteria or fungus. All sorts of "weird and wonderful" things!

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED Q&A:
4:42 "How do you manage to memorize so much?" (question by Irhan Naqshandi)

But also discussed...
1:40 "Why is the ward?" (question by soccerlover401)
2:46 Why should you get the flu shot? (soap box moment!)

COMMENT below to say hi or if you have a question you want featured in upcoming videos!
SUBSCRIBE to see more videos about my journey in residency!

  • I Iove the little cartoon Siobhans that give quick tidbits of information 😊
  • My son, when he was 13 months was in the infectious disease department for what they thought was meningitis. It was the scariest week of our lives. The doctors were so fantastic and helped us feel at peace with what was going on. Thank you for caring :-)

    Seems so cool. I can tell that being an ID involves a lot of collaboration with other doctors. I think I want to specialize in Infectious Diseases, I've always loved learning about bacteria and viruses.

    I love how clear and mature you talk! When your describing something i don't know anything about it makes it easy to understand!!

    I'm a very visual learner so drawing diagrams or small pictures to help me remember information is really helpful to me!
  • @cinnamoncat2731
    I really love your videos and your energy! I just graduated Cosmetology school (I know, not anywhere near medical school) but you’re advice on remembering things has really helped me. Specifically when I am trying to explain things to my clients or other students. So thank you Siobhan for helping people so much and spreading your knowledge!
