Thanks for sharing another great vlog. I just applied to medical school, and you helped keep me positive during MCAT studying!
Best of luck :)
Currently going through a rough breakup, I started watching you to know what to expect when my ex got into medical school.. I’m so broken, but I fell in love with you as a person and your content. You remind me to persevere through tough obstacles every video, and as you do everyday, I will overcome this one. Thank you for teaching me that ❤️
You will. As a dental student been there 2 and a half years ago and trust me that break up made me who I am today and I’ m so grateful for the experiance. It will be the same for you as time will unfold. Don’ t forget to love and be kind to yourself, be reminded of how uniqe and extraordinary you are. Wish you all the best ❤️
I am going through a very hard breakup as well and I'm a med student
We will survive this and we will be so happy and healed afterwards :)
It will get easier. I promise. I was facing this 2 years ago, and it was brutal. Watching videos like hers and others really helped me. Today, I'm in such a good place and following my dreams.
Hi, I'm sorry about your breakup. Take time for yourself then get back on the horse.🏇🏄
My mother and fathers relationship faced some hardships when he began med school, that’s what it seemed like at first anyways, turns out he’s a narcissist and that was the biggest display of it that had happened thus far. She got out right around the time he graduated which was good but not early enough as a lot of damage had already been done. All this to say it may prove to be a good thing that y’all split up and you got out, despite how hard it feels right now; just keep your head up, remember that healing is not a linear journey, and know that you’ll come out the other end stronger for it all. Best of luck and all the mental hugs cause breakups suck ass.
Watch a channel Violin MD and it’s similar to urs except for how the medical education is different. ( US v Canada). What I like about both channels is seeing that person learn and grow right before my eyes. It’s amazing. So glad I found ur channel and get to share in the medical experience once again.
I am a second year APRN student and absolutely love watching these med school journey videos! I started my second clinical rotation yesterday and my preceptor and a few other of the MDs at the practice told me that I should go to med school instead because of how knowledgeable I am. I am hopeful that maybe down the line there will be an APRN to MD program.
Of all of the med school youtubers and seeing the different med school programs and their flow, I would have to say your program does the best for M3/M4 and getting students to really act like a full provider as in seeing the patients, doing the H&P, writing the note, etc. There are some programs that don't have med students write notes and only have them do the history. I am glad you are enjoying it and are learning alllllll of things!
What shoes do you wear during these shifts being on your feet so much???
I feel jealous .How someone can be soo perfect❤️
Woahhh 3rd year med student, what a flex 💪
Great vlog Rachel thx
What’s the best stethoscope for 3rd med student on a budget in your opinion ?
Set the reminder! I’m LOVING these rotation vlogs!!!! Thank you for taking time during your busy schedule to make us content, we see your hard work and we appreciate 😌🤍
ahhh can’t wait!! these rotation vlogs have been the highlight of my week thank you for finding the time to share this experience with us!!
I was in med school. I finished last year. I am a surgeon know. I love what I do. I love helping people everyday. I wouldn't want to do anything else.
Hi Rachel! I started watching you videos since 2018/19 and back then I was in high school, but now I am going to take my a levels this year and I am looking forward to take med school.. My dream is to become a Cardiologist and you are actually one of the people that gives me strength to hold on and be productive everyday.. When I feel unmotivated, I comeback here to watch your videos and then I will play a Study W/ me session you did and work with you
It's so great to see that "always-behind-the-desk-studying Rachel" finally in the hospital doing her thing and excelling in it ! I'm just so happy for u🥺💕
One of the creators of the Verb Energy Bars was a student at the high school I teach at! We had them in the teacher's lounge all the time! It was great!
As a medstudent on the other side of the world, I really love your VLOGS.
Please know you are such a motivation to us 💙
These rotation vlogs honestly pump me up for a whole another week!
So happy to see you growing and learning more every day! Maybe you could start incorporating fun facts or something new you learned during the day? Also, without violating HIPAA, talking generally about cases or some new disease state you came across would be something I'd love to hear! That would be neat 🙂
omg sooo excited to see our girl again doing amazing and persevering as she always does!! i hope your eye feels better!!
After watching your journey for the last couple of months your honestly such an inspiration and I can imagine for all medical student that doesn’t have a family member in the field, your videos can actually give a realistic view of what it will be like. Thanks to your videos I started documenting my way true law school and it had made me connect with so many people especially with the pandemic. Thank you so much 😊
So excited for the new vlog!! Rachel thank you creating and sharing these awesome videos with us! I know you are very busy and I am extremely grateful that you share your journey to becoming a doctor with us! Always here to support you every step of the way! ❤️🐜
*If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want will become the ultimate sacrifice.*
The chances of you seeing this comment is really low, but if you did, *I hope you have a great day...* 🖤
pls keep making such rotation vlogs nothing makes me more motivated then these vlogs , thank you so much rachel , i owe you a lot for my productivity
Just took my MCAT!!! Thanks for keeping me motivated
u literally motivate me so much and whenever a class is hard or I'm tired of studying I turn on one of ur videos and it shows me what could be if I study harder and keep pushing. LOVE U RACHEL!!
the vibe i get from your videos is that you are having the time of your life. Its tough, but you are satisfied, happy and appreciative. It's so soothing to watch. waiting for another video!
Coming back to watch this as I mentally prepare for my first ever rotation of third year -- and it's surgery! Ahh
I haven’t been able to watch her channel in a while, but seeing how she’s grown as a person makes me have faith in humanity as a whole. When you really need that kind of faith the people who inspire it sort of live in your heart forever. I hope she remembers how much she lives on in all the people she’s been so kind and inspirational to. We all should know our positive impact.
Hi Rachel i hope your doing fine , if you want to feel relaxed , less stress i advice to listen to Jin BTS s solo songs in car or something(awake, epiphany , abyss, Moon , tonight , mom, i love you autunm...) I discover him recently he is helping me a lot with my anxiety ,... I wish you all the happiness ❤️
Hi Rachel, I hope your eye heals well and you can enjoy the rest of your rotations. Congratulations on the 3rd year✨
Not me literally searching for my phone when I heard the pager ring
I laughed way too hard at this 😂
Bench watching all your videos while doing home work:)
I love your vibe,spirit and personality…your great keep being you!
i like ur channel so much
much love from Egypt !
I’m in the medical field too (Physical Therapy) and I enjoy watching your excitement and fresh outlook. You seem a LOT more confident than I was seeing patients for the first time. I enjoy your content. ❤️
Hi Rachel, I know this is off topic from your vlog, but I'm taking my MCAT in less than a week and was wondering if you had any advice on the tail-end of studying/preparing for that exam. Love your content as always :)
Best thing you can do is practice questions with review !
I'm really interested in general surgery !💯
Glad to see you laying on a couch/bed and not the floor this time!! Now I know what could be in store for me next year, lol!
Yiii I'm so proud of you! See you grow through the years of hard work! I can totally envision you checking my heart beats❤️ keep on the good work💪 you are such an inspiration 🥳
Do you get filler? And do you recommend as a student doc?
Rachellll…you’re just so amazing at every work..I’m loving every bit of your rotation vlog 💕 love you and more power to you ❤️😘
Do you get time to study and exercise after your 26hour long shifts?
Can we have a colab with Ali Abdaal or Kharma Medic? :P
Thank you for sharing 🥰
This vlog was pure gold❤❤ Looking forward for much more like this
"And then you go upstairs and get ready to not be in the way" can pretty much sum up anything for me if something happens at my nursing school clinicals 😂 but you see exciting stuff sometimes...from a distance. Although one time a rapid response team nurse (who was a previous instructor of mine) let me help put defibrillator pads on a patient because they had to do a cardioversion. Thank you so much for these vlogs!
Lol! Yea, you NEVER EVER utter the words “quiet” or “slow” or talk about how the shift will or may go “good” etc. 🤦🏾♀️ it will(9/10) end up being the opposite and you will regret those words you used before all hell broke loose! 😂
It seems like you're always moving around the hospital alone and there's no one in the background xD Im assuming you don't record whenever there's people or when you're with your medical friends?
Wow you're such a doctor 😍😍😙😙
Hi Rachel, the part about your eye got me thinking. I have a weird thing with eyes where I get squeamish. I want to go to medical school, so how do you work through something that makes you really uncomfortable?
Just found your channel I’m a pre nursing student you give me so much courage and motivation to study hard and get through my prerequisites to get into a nursing program love your Vlogs ❤
Did u take a gap year ? I noticed you said you’re twenty something years old and just started 3rd year of Uni. I’m 19 and just started my 3rd year of Uni, and it kinda took me by surprise
Love this!!! Resources you used for shelf? I don’t have my surgery rotation until February but just wondering how you went about studying. Also at my school surgery is 12 weeks.
productivity queen doing her best!!!
Rachel you make me so excited for med school next year ,love u ❣
what does getting pimped mean?
Every time I see a video of yours, I get motivated to study harder and begin with my first year in medical school, especially the rotations..THAT’S SOME EXCITING STUFF
Thank you Rachel for showing me my future in 10-15 minute videos
7.3K in 5 HRS.....look up LIKE A BOSS!!!!!! AND YOU POP UP DOC WOW. THERE GOES MY HERO....
Great work Rachel!! I don’t mean to get personal but I had a question. Do they pay you for your work? Or no?
Nope!! I’m a still a student. The payment is with knowledge and teaching.
@@RachelSouthard ahh great to know and good luck in all you do 🙏🏼
Hi Rachel ! Fantastic vlog, as always ❤
Next time you have an overnight shift, could you keep vlogging after your shift (if you feel like it of course) ? I would love to know how you cope with the following day, with your sleep schedule and all.
Heya reachel i am old viewer but new subscriber,it was my wish from beginning to subscribed your channel but i foreget but believe me this vlog is very energetic,which tempt me to subscribe you.you are looking very beautiful in these uniform,your sre so strong and keep it up
Happy holidays and enjoy your break! I hope that your OB rotation is fabulous. 🎄
Is it difficult to remember what you need to write for the patient encounters, especially if you are interrupted such as when you responded to the second trauma?
I just realized the last 3 vlogs no longer have the singing outro. Is this to signify a new "season"/chapter of life if you will? or just due to copyright/legal stuff.
The first thing that came to my mind when you said eye infection was Cavernous Sinus hahaha I swear med school is not consuming my life 😂🥲
Loved the video Rachel! You inspire me to continue chasing my dream of becoming a doctor. Stay strong and keep pushing forward, I mean your here today because you've survived every other day. What's another one in the book.😎💤🙌
I bought the hubby that same stethoscope for Christmas a few years ago for his 20 years as a paramedic!
WAIT that’s literally the pager sound that’s in grey’s hahahah
Thanks for sharing these videos i love surgery i'm sure one day i will study at medschool
It's beautiful the way you enjoy your rotations and handle the TH-cam stuff on other hand. Hats off Rachel, I'm a red ant♥️🐜
Loved this vlog! After your rotation do you think you might pursue GS as a specialty?
Have attendings been present at all the surgeries you've observed so far or are certain residents trusted with doing certain ones without direct supervision? Are the OR masks a better quality than the blue ones or just a different color? Do surgeons wear the same mask the entire operation or switch to a new one after a certain amount of time?
Unrelated but where is your necklace from its cute ☺️
Omg how do you do ittt! Such long shifts and you still have to study on your off days. Wow!
we also have those pagers at the ambulance station, I get so scared at night when they go off lol
I am a first year med student and I just wanted to say you’ve been a constant inspiration to me.
Rachel, take care and enjoy the rotation. was surgery fun?
How is General Surgery compared to what you thought it was? Thank you for the amazing uploads!
It is so important to feel good on rotations and to have mentors who teach valuable practical skills.
I am so glad to hear that you feel well during your rotation and that you could find a good place to sleep!
Love how authentically you are talking to us in your videos, I really felt as if I was there with you :)
How can I learn how to suture and close properly?
Clearly your having such a bussy schedule and yet u still make time for vlogs! Love watching your videos😍
Always Banger dear Rachel 😀😀
I think despite its tiredness it seems so interesting good job reached
your vlogs are on fireeeeeee with rotation staff
Does it get too lonely for doctors in US?
You inspire me! Eres lo mejor vieja, super aplicada e inteligente
Watching from Barbados 🙂
plz can you show, how you did your makeup. you literally do awesome... i like your makeup so mach 😍
I don’t really wear makeup! I just have lash extensions lol and I put some stuff in my brows. That’s it lol
love that
I'm curious about becoming a general surgeon when I get into medical school. I can't wait to see this vlog
I can definitely see you as a surgeon!
I cant beliver that three year pass
Rachel Ily ♥️♥️♥️
COMMENTING FOR THE LGORITHM
Bless
Do you guys not get on call rooms?
Wait nvm got to that point in the vid! Seemed cruel to only give you a couch
Rachel how old r u ?
Twenty somethin. I forgot honestly lmao
@@RachelSouthard what ? Lol
Rachel, what if you’re getting the eye infections because of your eyelash extensions?
Hey! I'm just so sad today that my psychiatrist disclosed all my info about suicidal ideation and shit to my parents and they're super mad at me now :( I'm never seeing a psychiatrist again I'm better off alone
Third and forth year med students use to have to do 36 hour call shifts. You will make it Rachel.
Lol well yes, but that doesn’t make the 26hr shift easier. And I don’t think any med students do 36 hr shifts nowadays
what did you mean by pimped? lol, thanks for the great video, keep up the good work!
Pimping is when a resident or attending asks medical students questions that they expect them to know (ex. the physiology behind a disease the patient may have, or what drug to use, etc.)
What’s Pimping? She mentions it around 9:00 😅😅
When residents/attendings ask med students questions that they expect them to know
@@katemichelle ahhh okay thank you!
