Can you do case study videos? Like talk about an interesting case you had and then go into the pathology/treatment? That’d be so cool and educational!!
As a nursing student I would LOVE this ❤❤
Hi Rachel, thank you for being an inspiration!
Could you also talk about your study plan/time management plan - like how you break up your day especially with your hectic schedule? That would be awesome 😊😊
yassss
I’m with it
"Please be a good shift .. please be nice to me" 😄 that is such a mood!
Im a nurse and actually watching this before my night shift 👍
I love how you take the time to deliver us such good quality content while going through all this hard core working conditions, you got it ! You are doing such an amazing job!
She’s extraordinary talented and the hardest working person I’ve ever met 🥹
I am sure she is ! It is great to know she found a loving support, it does really help a lot (or at least it works for me, my partner really makes it easier to live with all the stressful environment). Hope you guys have a awesome day ! Sending all good vibes from Switzerland 🤗@@PATRICKLONGMUSIC
this video actually convinced me to go to the gym today
im in exam szn in med school rn and i wasnt feeling so depressed but going to the gym put me in a better mood
keep making videos please these videos get me through med school
ily
YESSS! Get it. You won’t regret movin your body.
Here for you.
Rachel is LIVVEEEE~! Love the cntent as a pre-med student; reaffirms my beliefs of working hard and going out of the way to become AWESOME!!
Dear Rachel, it seems to me like you're in some kind of elite seal training school where stress, trauma and split second decisions are the order of the day. As an empathic human being you are certainly suffering as much as anyone can and I can feel it in your videos. May I recommend something that soothes you to fall asleep to, I'm not kidding I sleep to Downton Abbey every night otherwise I can't fall asleep there's something about this program that comforts me and sends me aloft at the mere auditory presence. I agree that no one could have predicted these insane hours that most people couldn't endure for 24 hours let alone for days on end but it seems in the medical profession they expect this of you and I don't know why. All I know is you were meant to be a doctor and no matter the amount of barriers you face you will overcome this, you are strong enough and before you know it you will be done with your residency. I wish I could take it all away but these are the times when you learn the most and somewhere down the road you will be thankful for such hard times because they made you the best doctor you could be. Sending so much love and positive inspiration.
It’s always your motivational vlog endings for me 🥲
Love the videos so much Rachel! An idea I had was interviewing some of your fellow residents, attendings, or nurses about their experiences in OBGYN, what they love about the field, and their path thus far😊
What do you think of doing a cleaning vlog where you show your methods and the tools/cleaners you use? I want my house to be as clean as Rachels!
I'm starting medical school tomorrow! I'm so scared but your vlogs honestly give me life and make me so excited to be a doctor!
congratulations!!!
I love how you explain the medical jargon. So proud of your journey!
In the Building watching from Nairobi Kenya 😎
As an idea for a video: reflecting and looking back on the long way you took to be here now, how it feels now looking back at the path)
Video Idea: a little segment of quizzing Patrick on medical (obgyn) things! maybe some terms or tools. I know going home and explaining vet things to my boyfriend I dont realize how little he knows, and what has become so normal to me! im there having to dumb down what anesthesia does, and what the endotracheal tube actually does
I would get a 5% F- score, but I would have gotten a 0% pre-Rachel so she’s helping me learn. No way I could ever know as much as her 🤍
My favorite videos are your shifts and discussing medical Obgyn cases and how you handle them gives me so much insight and motivation❤
Currently watching this on the treadmill while drinking my LMNT during a study break hahahah
Hey love! I work 3-11pm. I woke up today with cervical pain (from my car accident in January 2021) and really didn’t want to go to wOrk today😢. I wanted to stay home, lay down with my heating pad all day and take my narcotic but didn’t want to be stuck making up my weekend. So, here I am at work..on break watching your video. ❤.
I would love a video on advice for matching into OB/GYN!
Seeing you all the way back to entering med school to now makes me so motivated to continue working hard in med school. So thank you so much for all the amazing content you give us, seriously
love the videos! would love to know a bit more about your workouts, also what do you look forward to most on days off and how do you treat yourself after crazy weeks?
Thank you!!! ❤️
Okay okay. I’ll elaborate more in an upcoming video!!
i love you rachel i hope to meet you one day ❤️❤️
Keep up the good work! A video of your skin care/recharge video would be cool! Love to see how you recharge
So excited!!! hope you’re doing well, Rachel!!! 🫶🏻
Good morning Rachel happy Sunday morning and happy new year to you and your loved ones and I hope that 2024 brings you a lot of love and happiness
you’re one of the medical related youtubers, who actually motivates me to do my work ❤
She’s the best TH-camr on the planet 🌎
Interested in OBGYN. Would love to see the process of delivery/c-section, etc. Any procedures!!
super proud of you , i look up to you SO much!!!😭
Thank you! :'-)
Hi Rachel! In your next sit down video can you touch on how you or your hospital system handles mamas who want to have natural birth, low intervention, and deliver in alternative positions? Also how you feel about that? love youuuuu boss lady lol xoxo
Recently bought some LMNTs (used your promo code) for hot yoga and LOVE the raspberry and citrus ones🤤
Here’s your reassurance that we love these types of videos, we know you can’t show too much and that’s ok bc you do a great job telling us what’s going on and makes it easy to visualize! I never get sick of these 🫶 thank u for posting
Love watching you! You’re awesome! 9:18
I think except for sleep, you seem to be less stressed out during night shifts!
I love your vlogs so much! You should make a video on some smoothie recipes!
LMNT sounds like exactly what I need. Ordered the variety pack, so excited to try!!
Would love to learn more about pregnancy physiology of baby and mom!
Something that helped me for nights is using melatonin lotion and eye mask for sleeping!
RIGHT ON TIME YESSSS🤞🏼💕💕
Adorable thumbnail 🥰
I wonder what it’s like to have a perfect jaw line and a non exsistent double chin because if I ever tried to film from a low angle….i would not look this good haha. I love your videos! And appreciate the work you put into them! I’m a nursing student (due to graduate this fall) and these motivate me ☺️
She’s TOO pretty 🤩
I've always wanted to try LMNT but it doesn't make sense for us Canadians to ship here!! Too pricey with shipping and conversion 😢
): Awh I’m sorry!
@@RachelSouthard maybe one day!
You mentioned that all the patients you care for are so thankful for your positive attitude and the comfortable atmosphere you create. I’d love to hear a sit down with me style video on how you converse w patients to let them feel heard and comfortable! Maybe a reenacting skit w ur bf!
Dr. Rachel if you did a video like this please tell us how to overcome the obstacles of Interviewing Patients while being an introvert.. I am an introvert and I tend to be shy which can make talking to people very difficult for me.. I might come off as rude which is not my intention I just don't know how to deal with people 😂so tips on how to be friendly with patients as an introvert will be apreciated
I am a dentist working just out of residency and struggle with anxious feelings going to work and after leaving. Can’t seem to keep anxious thoughts at work after ending the day and tend to bring home a lot of negative feelings - stress about patients returning with complaints, problems, unhappy etc. Struggle with being confident as my skill set grows. Seems like everyday is a challenge. Wondering your thoughts and if you feel this way too. Love your videos!
Dr Rachel, although you are a doctor but I think when you think too much about sleep deprivation due to night shifts, it causes you more psychological damage than actual one. Because we are adding further critical load by keep reminding. Regards
THE CYBERTRUCKKK can't wait for mine to come in ahhhhh
Awww love your Videos!!! 😍😍 i have a question, do your get and sleep while youre on night shift ?
Hi beautiful, I have a question. Can I and is it safe to try to deliver naturally after 2 c-sections (one veginal between them) ?
do you ever listen to stuff while trying to go to sleep? sometimes I put in my AirPods and play white noise, it helps!!!
The sleep schedule of sleeping when you can no longer than 2 hours at a time will prepare you for motherhood 😂 I’m hoping motherhood will prepare me for what you’re going through now #silverlining
I'm already subscribed to LMNT, but I can also vouch for them! So good, saltier and with more nutrients than a lot of other electrolyte drinks, they're my favorite!
Good for you on staying on top of your gym grind. What all do you put in your smoothies? I saw a brief glimpse of Orgain. I use that also! I like the vanilla & chocolate.
I can only sleep 2-3hrs in a go on nights. Some of my friends can sleep 6-8hrs. Everyone is different.
What type of blender is that plz?
Ninja!
Im on swing shifts right now and i absolutely love having some daytime to enjoy! I prefer day shift but i feel like i cant do anything else on those shifts
rn here...on nites for 23yrs...at one point I had 3 little kids....HARDEST thing ever...now I'm retired and I hav horrible insomnia from making myself stay up for an unbelievable amount of hrs....ps had a vacuum birth once...10/10 would not recommend!!!! haha
💛🖤🩶🫰💤
Can you please do video on PCOS and Endometriosis for education
Hey rachel do u belong to any religion just curious?
Woah did anyone else see the ultrasound photos on her fridge when she’s standing in the kitchen ?😮
Dr. Southard could you help me understand the patients of the babies you deliver? Do they have an OB that they have seen? I was just thinking of my two deliveries and my OB was there for both so Id be interested to know if these patients don't have an OB theyve been working with or how they come into your care. Your videos are great!
A collab with you and Dr. Mike is a dream I can only wish for 😅
Hi how are u I'm new to your channel vey important job u have my aunt is a nurse and I took a class on assistant nurse assistant
Wait...did I miss a pregnancy announcement !? I saw the ultrasound pictures on the fridge :)
HAH omg no!! 😂 that is not mine
❤❤
Can you post your smoothie recipe? 😮
Do you all work with PA’s at all? What is their role? Especially in L&D?
No
Your face looks like Kylie Jenner
Honestly I’ll take that.
Rachel is way hotter 😍
What’s the Q word?
Quiet
My excuse for not working out is having a toddler and newborn
😂 ok valid.
Do squats carrying both babies
@@RachelSouthardimagine that 😂😂😂
I’m extremely proud of you! Keep up the good work! 😊
is that a #CYBERTRUCK ??? 14:55
SURE IS ;-)
🤍🤍🤍
❤❤❤
it was a great video
Thank you 🥹
How tall are you @@RachelSouthard
What is the Q word?
Quiet. Healthcare’s worst word
@@zhuzhupetlover6673 Please explain if you can
@@Bcdf-ei9elbasically when people say quiet it does the complete opposite. It turns into complete chaos very quickly. It basically jinxes things.
@@zhuzhupetlover6673 Thanks a lot for the explanation:)
Much admiration for the hard work that you do, must be incredibly demanding and especially on inadequate sleep.
It does trouble me hearing the approach to speeding up labour, breaking the amniotic sac. I had a very negative experience from having my water broken just to speed things up, causing premature pushing, having an unwanted epidural, and trauma. I wish no one had rushed me - birth takes its own time unless there is a problem.
Thank you!
I’m sorry you had a negative experience. Active management of labor is not a bad thing. And we always ask our patients for permission prior to doing things like an amniotomy.
Can't sleep long? You might want to try some sort supplements or medication. I find 1st gen antihistamines work ok. Htp-5 & L-theanine. Some like melatonin. CBN. If its related to stress or anxiety, benzos or certain antidepressants might help. You do need to be careful if you are getting a racing heart rate or irregular heat rate if you are already in significant acute or chronic sleep debt (think cortisol). Be careful with cardio exercising if you are getting heart related symptoms from sleep deprivation.
As a fellow obgyn resident who works night floats, I recommend that you take melatonin in the morning when you come home from work so you can get 6-7 hours of sleep during the day before you go back to the hospital. I also recommend keeping the same schedule on the weekend/night off so stay up all night to do something fun/chill at home and sleep in the AM even on your day off.
