This is actually pretty overwhelming - I never thought this was even a possibility when I started this channel. And it wouldn’t have happened without this amazing community - I am so grateful! Thank you so much for being a part of it!
This milestone is truly about each and every one of you, and I want to celebrate this WITH YOU! I'm creating a video for the occasion and I would love to include some reactions and comments from you.

Friends in Arizona!
I’m performing in the World Doctor’s Orchestra this week. Mark and I are playing on the same stand and having a blast!
If you want to come, we are performing in Scottsdale on Friday April 5th and at the Mesa Art Centre on Saturday April 6th!
The proceeds of the concerts will be donated to the Virginia G. Piper Medical Clinic at St. Vincent de Paul, a free clinic that fills a gap in the health care system by serving uninsured and underserved patients.
Hope to see you there!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Mark and I had so much fun spreading some Christmas cheer by jogging around town with our santa suits on!
Wishing you a very happy holidays and we cannot wait for a new year of creating and connecting with you all! ❤️
Had a blast chatting with Will and Kristin on their podcast!! Check it out!
I want to do NEVER HAVE I EVER doctor's edition with Mark!
Send us your comments and we'll try to include as many as possible!
For those of you who aren't familiar with this game, it's basically a way to get to know people better. You make a statement "never have I ever _____" and then both Mark and I will both say if we've done it before. For example, "never have I ever attended a code blue"... well we all know the answer is yes to that one!
Get creative and comment below!
What video do you want to see next?
This Saturday I'm excited to share a video updating you about my time away hiking across Italy after residency.
After that, which of these videos are you most excited to see? Interested in all of them except 1 or 2? Tell me in the comments - I'm really interested to hear your thoughts!
You may be wondering... where are the 'day in the life' videos? Don't worry they are coming back in March!
Looking forward to getting back into a regular posting schedule and connecting more with you guys!
I need your opinion! I’m planning to make more content (short and long forms) about interesting medical cases. But they can involve some shocking photos like this recent short. How do you feel about that?

Happy New Year Everyone 🎉!!
This past year marks the end of residency and with that a huge life transition! So far it’s been a mix of excitement and nerves. But in this moment I look back on this year with such gratitude. Thank you so much for coming along this journey with me and for being a part of this community! I can’t tell you how much each message, email and interaction with you guys means to me!
I have a great feeling about this year!
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2023!
P.S - Picture from our travels in New Zealand while hiking the Routeburn track. The gorgeous rainbow after a rainy day feels like the way to start a new year - a fresh start, no matter what you faced in 2022!
Hello from the Swiss Alps! We’ve just finished our first week of hiking through Switzerland and we’re crossing over the Alps into Italy! Find me on Instagram (violin.md) to see more updates along the way!
Pre-filmed videos are still being released every other Saturday (and I may play around with some shorts too!) so you’ll still get your medical fix!
And just like that… residency is over! 🎉
I’m so thankful to McMaster and the rheumatology program. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my husband Mark and my fellow residents! ❤️
It still feels surreal!! Filming and creating videos again is helping me slow down and really reflect on this life-changing journey. I’m looking forward to having time to create YouTube videos again! In the next few weeks I’ll share my final residency experiences and what’s coming up next!!
Thank YOU all for your support over the past 5 years of residency. This community has been amazing and it has truly enriched my residency experience!! 🥹🥰 So excited to bring you along for this next step as an attending physician!
Good luck to the incoming residents who are starting this week!

Before medicine, I was a professional violinist so you'll get some music sprinkled into the videos :)
