If you're still reading this, comment "Oof."
OUUUUUU! Don't we love sick days when you don't actually get to take the "sick day," and instead you just keep working just as hard as you normally would? LOL
Love that for us red ants. We are so hard working. Comment down below how hard you've been working. TELL YOURSELF YOU ARE A HARD WORKER BECAUSE YOU ARE!!!!!! YOU. ARE. HARD. WORKING. SAY IT! TYPE IT!
I AM ONE HARDWORKING KICKASS LADY!
@@rutvimevawala6594 DANG RIGHT YOU ARE!!! SCREAM IT. ALL CAPS BABY!
Yeah im sick and I have a physiology test tomorrow...🙁
I AM HARD WORKIIIIIIIIIING
I AM A HARD WORKING RED ANT WATCH OUT WORLD
I respect that Rachel can get sick, study for boards, do 500+ Anki cards, watch 8 hours of lectures, edit, and still upload high quality videos every week without fail. This girl is Superwoman.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💕
Won't let the title fool me cuz I know there's nothing you can't overcome. You're such an inspiration :)
Let’s remember, this shouldn’t be celebrated. We shouldn’t have to work ourselves to the bone while sick to not fail. School system really promotes this unhealthy lifestyle. Anyways, I hope you feel better Rachel
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So does law school 😏
No pain no gain. Don't be a beta
Who the hell is celebrating it... every single med student alive says it's a huge challenge to become a doctor... but thats what a competition to become the best of the best is... this isn't kindergarten where everyone can play doctor with no challenges... it's a grueling selection process of talented people
@@ausroy087 i think you re saying this because you don't really feel the danger of this or maybe because you are in good condition and you have all what you need, but you should know that one day you'll be sick or you ll be in a hard situation, you ll know that the school system is making life way harder than it should be,
Also its not a rule that hard work =good result, and im gonna give you an example, one of my friends worked really hard(probably 12-18 hours a day) but he fall sick 9 days just before the exam, and got a really bad mark why? because he couldn't review all that huge material. And people like you are supporting this system by saying you should work hard and give your social life and hobbies and sleep away, and drain your eyes because you are studying so much and not taking care of your wife and children, making the life of people way harder when we can make it much simpler and happpier.
Hope you you see what i mean
“I’m not a doctor” - the person 2 years away from being a doctor lol
Hahaha
MY BRAIN: I should go to sleep early tonight

MY HEART: Hey bro take some coffee
The passion you showed for repro just boosted my motivation by at least 16293719%
YASSS
Today there was a meeting at my university with the LSU Medical School admissions director and he said, "make sure you have things to prove to us that you want to go into medicine" and I thought well not to brag but I am an ant, homegirl is part of the herd, it's kinda sus he doesn't know what that means.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED TO READ.
THATS RIGHT. YOURE A RED ANT. WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED.
@@RachelSouthard yes girl!! I'm just trying to push through for my future patients and my fellow ants lmao.
love this
Hey rach you’ve been such an inspiration for me to go to medical school and be a ob/gyn that I graduated high school with a 1.0 gpa and now I’m in my second year of college with my total gpa of a 4.0 now this is the most dedicated and passionate I’ve been about school in my whole life thx so much girl
That's so awesome congratulations!! ✨👏🏽🎉👍🏽
Congratulations
you know the passion is real when you break your fever whilst doing it
OOUUU
Love the fun facts you dropping. Repro block for me was super intense and super interesting at the same time. I learned so many new facts and literally had to call my mum to thank her for going through all this stuff. I wish more people talked about it. ❤❤
Aww Rachel thank you for sharing the difficulties you face weekly nothing is easy but we can do this🥰We admire you sm
Your HERD!!!
laaahvvv you
it’s not rachel’s vlog if she doesn’t say, “I have so much to do”
LOL literally
Not annoying it is good to see a student passionate about a subject. I'm the same way with psychiatry and Neurology! I love anything that has to do with the brain. From its functions to what if this happens what then and how does the brain function and the complexity of it and the mind and why it is the way it is. I'm this way at home my wife has to beat me up lol not really I just like to talk and teach about Neurology. I love this it makes you a better healthcare provider when you have this passion it is almost like it isn't a job because you love it and want to come in every day to do that work. Keep up the great work!!
LOL
No need to apologize for being passionate about this miraculous thing that is pregnancy !!
And it’s awesome to see you geek out when explaining all the new things you’re learning 🤩
GUUUUUUURL i'm feeling THIS. I have a Bio midterm tomorrow & fricking OOF is right. really proud how much I've pushed myself. Thank you for encouraging me!!! Love you!!
Please don't be sorry for loving what you are learning!!! I honestly love it so much. Loving what you are learning should be celebrated!!!! It's how things should be.
Your vids remind me that I’m not the only one who goes through this and gets stressed and scared, thank you! Keep up the great work!
The purpose of this video was to have it in the background as i studied but i looked up and was like "hey i think i know that freeway... i know that turn... and that one... i know those hills!" lol its so weird seeing my commute to school
OOOO!!!! :D
Also, would love to hear you briefly talk ab relationships in med school. My bf will be starting soon and I want to be as supportive as I can to him and knowledgeable enough to know what to expect. As a med student, what would you need from a partner? Thank u for always lighting up my Fridays 👸❤️
Not Rachel, but from personal experience. I was studying physiotherapy when I met my boyfriend in his 2/6 years of medschool. We didn’t meet so much at first, and it’s understandable. I was a bit hurt, not going to lie- i wanted to get more attention , but I understood that he needs to study a lot etc (and he is also a guy who doesn’t make drama in his head like women do :D). But nothing is
better than just talking it out and understanding what each partner needs and wants. Figured out that time we spent together, was time for ourselves and if we were apart and one of us is not answering for a long time, we just understand that the person is studying and will give you attention when there is time. Now I am also studying medicine 2nd year and he is his 4th year . We are also living together, which makes a lot of stuff easier and the pink glasses phase is away. It is so much better like this than it was, when we were not living together.
Communication is key for a healthy relationship.
P.S. be prepared for a lot of medicine talks (in friend groups we set 5 minute timers if any med talk starts )
@@PaulaKristiana how did you deal with the horniness while you two were separated. Legit question
@@PaulaKristiana Were you a PT turned MD? What made you switch professions? Was it worth it?
@@brianyi2995 well since I am not so horny in general, it wasnt an issue. Also when we were not living together, if we visited each other ofc we always had sex, but when we were apart- i think we were too busy to even think about it. Also now we are used to it bcs my boyfriend is from Germany and I am local, so during covid times we have spent weeks apart from eachother- practising long distance relationships
@@katherinel3399 i actually started MD as soon as i graduated highschool (in Latvia we have 6 years of medschool) but i was still doing proffesional sports.. so ofcourse it is not possible to do both at the same time- so everything failed🤣 then i studied 2 years PT because I thought sport is so important to me, but when I met my boyfriend who was studying medicine- I got jealous of the cool stuff they learned ( I also worked in the OR as a nurses assistant). And then I decided to apply for MD again and if I got a scholarship I would study and if not I will forget it forever. And i got in :)😊
It really sucks when you feel sick and there is no one there to at least keep you company. Im sorry you had to go through that alone!
Thank you for showing your bad days too. School gets so hard and the curriculum doesn’t stop for illness or anything. I’m going to power through my bad days too
*Oof* the queen's back once again!
Glad to see you're safe and sound, queen, looking forward this ✨magnificent✨ vlog.
Take care and be safe, sis, much luv.
OUU! I love this magical comment. Love you.
Hi Rachel! It’s definitely NOT annoying to see the excitement learning brings you!
It brings me joy to see how much you love what you do! I hope you are feeling better! Thank you for being such an inspiration! Take care of yourself,
be kind to yourself, continue to work hard, and all that good stuff! Byeee!
🐜🐜🐜
Thank you Jenna!
Its amazing when you see someone who have found her dream job! You go on and let everyone see you'll be an amazing doctor with a great heart and empathy for het patients 😀👍
I'm so happy that you love repro because I'm a midwife, so all the lectures and facts that you talk about I already know and I can watch you with even more interest!!
We love a hard working QUEEN! We also love a hard working queen in need of a break I need one after this last month and I have reading week starting tomorrow after my midterm!
PS: oof
Ouuuu! Queen Maddie in the house!!!
Good luck on your midterm!!
@@RachelSouthard thank yoooooou 👸
My daughter had her shoulder stuck when she was delivered, but my OB was AMAZING and got her out with any major damage. She stayed so calm and kept me calm and if you go the OB way I just have a feeling you are going to do amazing and be a great OB doctor!
eek .. sounds stressful :/ glad you had a good OB on your side and were all safe in the end!!
Oh my! What a success story!
Honestly, the passion you have just reminded me of the passion I had when I first started medicine, this past few months I have lost it but you just really elevated my me in so many ways, love you Rach💕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽keep doing the good work 💕
11:45 the eyes were glitching so hard, you're so hard working 💪 hope you pass your finals 🙏 ❤
That fun fact just went straight over my head
My favorite day of the day had come!!! I love you Rachel. you are such an inspo
I’m a midwifery student, and I looove you being excited about learning about repro/gyn/obs!!
Your fun facts are so great and fascinating!!
I love your vlogs so much. Gives me a preview of what i'm getting myself in to when i go to med school.
I just finished my exams to try to get into med school here in Brazil (some people say that it’s harder than college itself) and I was so tired and kind of sad but watching your excitement when talking about med stuff were sooo heartwarming 🥺❤️ Thanks a lot!!
Ouf. We love “sick days” lol. I AM A HARD WORKER! Thanks for the motivation. It’s gonna be a study weekend for me.
And I did have a biochem assessment this week which was brutal and I slept for three hours after that horrible exam.
Biochem suckz
this hit home, I felt like that last week trying to study for our heme/lymph final and even though I really like my school, the whole "work till you drop but even then like don't drop" culture that medicine still has going on is brutal mentally and physically. Thanks for the inspiration Rachel, i think you just gave me a new video idea 👍🏽
respecttt for this amazing girl who manages so many things in her life AND gives us the best videos
I’m in nursing school right now, and we are taking OB/Peds currently so it was so fun getting to “relate” to the info you are also learning! I have been an OB CNA for almost 4 years, and it is such an amazing specialty!
OMG how lovely!
You will make a fantastic OB-GYN if that is the path you choose. My end goal is DNP in midwifery. Hopefully we both end in careers we love. Thanks for being such an inspiration to follow.
I love how much she loves the female reproductive system
I really love ur energy and enthusiasm when talking about vitro GUURRLL U REALLY LOVE WHAT U DO!!
I wish u all luck and to get to ur goals !!!
a new subscriber from the Netherlands!! I loveeeee your vlogssss!!!
I love when u talk about funny facts that s me too when i enjoy learning New things that i love
You should re-watch your repro block videos after your OBGYN rotations and do reaction videos! See how you’re feeling about the specialty after experiencing it in clinic!!!
OH YES!! Great idea!!!
Love your videos and how transparent but still upbeat/positive you are❤️
Love to see these videos, they make for a great time during my study breaks! And apparently they work because I did great this past week for exams! I’m glad to see that you’re doing well!
Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation from a few videos ago for the chrome extension that lets you speed up videos - super helpful for my classes 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for the insulin fact! I am a type one diabetic and it was never fully explained to me why I need 3 times the insulin.
Your pancreatic beta cells are gone and therefore don't secrete insulin. So you need an external source of insulin since your body doesn't produce it. Vs Type II DM, they have pancreatic beta cells, but they become poor at doing their job and basically burn out trying to control blood glucose. Tried to simplify it! Hope that makes sense :)
Omg girl, you are so dedicated and sooooo ambitious. You always study and never complain about it. Wish you all the best ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻😘😘😘
Lovee youu 😍 you inspire me every week while im saving money to go to medical school.thank you
Your symptoms seem similar to what I experienced after the 2nd dose. Mine wore off after 2 days, but I bet it's much harder dealing with it in med school! Love seeing you push through all this and post about it - really inspiring to see how strong you are!
Good luck on Finals!!! I know you will do amazing. & I love when you talk about all the repro stuff, or anything that you find fascinating actually!
Rachel! I think you're great and so so real. Sending you hugs and love and appreciation from Switzerland
I love learning all of these repro facts! Thank you for taking time to teach us while you work so hard to learn!
I look forward to your video every week, I love you so much queen, keep working hard, you motivate us all!❤️🦋
I have 3 sons and 2 of them were over 10 lbs at birth and they both had shoulder dystocia when they were born and it was super scary, but it only lasted a short time like probably less than a minute and then they came on out! I love watching you every week! I am in nursing school and you inspire me to keep working hard! 💕💕 I want to work in OB as well! You are an amazing person with a wonderful attitude! Keep on being amazing!! ♥️♥️
Also, my middle son who was over 8 pounds had his cord prolapse due to high amniotic fluid and I had to have an emergency c section with him and then VBACed my 3rd son who was over 10 pounds. So yeah some scary experiences!
Oh wow! That is wild! Thank you for sharing all of this Ashley!
Seeing ur excitement for learning, I wish I had the same interest in my subject!!.. I'll atleast TRY to see it that way from now..!! THIS REALLY INSPIRED!!✌️✌️💛
It’s so exciting to see you get so excited about a system 🥰
I love your video so much Rachel! You're extremely inspiring to watch and I really look up to you as a pre-med. My side effects from the 2nd dose of covid vaccine were super similar. I had a 102 fever and chills the day after getting the vaccine and it sucked, but also so worth it because knowing that covid is so much worse than just what I went through, I'd take any vaccine any day to prevent myself and others from getting covid. Take care and can't wait for more content! (I love how excited you get about maternal health!)
Hope you feel better, Rachel! I got my vaccine yesterday and I had some crappy symptoms too. I got a low fever and tons of aches and pain in my body. But like you said, it means our immune system is taking care of business! 😄
Ps: love your enthusiasm w OBGYN!
I feel so much better now! Wooo to our bodies handling business! :)
After my second dose of the vaccine I had a fever, chills, local muscle pain, headaches and the worst one being axillary lymphadenitis. I seriously would go through this again than to have the viral infection.
I had COVID and had all of this, so I don’t know which I prefer tbh
@@coffeebean4356 Well, the difference is that they lasted 2 days whereas having COVID lasts a lot longer
@@Teodora-h4f point taken.
always feel better after watching your videos!! thank you
It brings me so much joy seeing you excited about stuff you’re learning! I’m like this in my mes classes too and not many of friends understand it haha
Oh noooooo.... I’m sorry you were not feeling well, get some rest and push fluids!! I know I sound like mom💗💗💗💗
It's so cute to see you so excited about repro!!
Boss lady! You're such an inspiration! 😍
I love the song throughout this video, my new song on repeat! That's Rachel!
I am in school to become a midwife so your passion for repro is so exciting for me to see! my University anatomy and physiology course is starting repro in a couple weeks and I cannot wait!
Loving these vlogs Rachel🥰🥰🥰
you're so freaking cute all excited about repro! hahaha you're gonna make such a great doctor
keep the fun facts coming!
Amazing video! You are such an inspiration ❤️❤️
Your vlogs, as always amazing :). love your medical facts like the one where you talked about the baby delivery. Med student from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Wow.. you hit 2k more subscribers in a week! Congrats! That's amazing! I'm gonna be here when you hit a million subscribers ❤️🥺
Just a disclaimer for anyone thinking of buying the glasses: Blue eyed glasses has no supporting evidence for decreasing eye strain or reducing headaches, they may improve your sleep schedule if worn at night but the evidence so far is weak at best - Just want people thinking about getting them to be more informed :)
Not sayin it works, I just notice a difference. :)
I’ve also noticed a difference... no headaches or eye straining for me since I’ve been using them
Rachel kick butt on the finals!
Girl the whole time I was waiting for you to take some APAP! You def needed some! It helped with my chills and muscle aches from the vaccine!
Behind the scenes I was popping ibuprofen left and right and was still feeling like poop ):
it's great to watch your videos..i like you soooo much rachel!!THANKS FOR BEING!!!
you really recovered that sickness like a boss
Wieeee🥺 another videoooo🤍
Uwu, i wanna give you a hug. Please take care of yourself 💋
Oof
Its good to have symptoms after vaccination.That means your immune system is getting all worked up.Take care☺️
Just got done with sims and i have more exams and clinicals this week. We got this fam!!! #nursinglife
I felt terrible after the 2nd shot, felt as if I had the flu but it only lasted 24 hours!!! no regrets about taking it
I'm getting my 2nd vaccine shot tomorrow!! Glad you were able to get over the symptoms and still study. This block was crazy. Hope you did well on your exams and get some rest this weekend. Hands on block here we come!
Omg hi! I didn’t know you posted study videos. 😀 what a savage.
And I hope exams went well for you too and that you’re feeling okay!
@@RachelSouthard I just started this year. Still a noob, but the habit pairing has helped me edge by FOM7 and the growing community has been very inspiring.
You're an inspiration!❤
Love you Rachel tooo much 💜💜💜
i love ur vlogs
I am so excited when youre gonna finally be a DOCTOR!
Oh also, 10:30 if the shoulder gets stuck the brachial plexus ( which what provides the surplus of nerves to the arms) is in danger of being over extended and rendered faulty if the OB/gyn is not extremely careful!
I just saw your video.. I didn’t watch it. I need to finish these pathoma videos than watch you as reward 😍 I am looking forward to it.
did you come back to watch it?!
@@RachelSouthard I did lol 😂
sooo excited for this one (as always)
Pray tor me that i get into canada med school by this year and shift to Canada from india ❤️
good luck!!
@Gs Zzz Bhai desh chorke kyu jana hai aapko?🙂
@@samirkrdharmaybe because indian medical schools are very hard to get into. They are the best. Love my country.
You got this hunni!!! No luck needed 🥳🥳
Thx for soo kind cmts 🥀🖤
Oof! I hate being sicky and still have to do work. Glad you are feeling better though!
I hope you're doing better Rachel 🥰 although I can’t understand why you worked out again after getting the vaccine...maybe taking a break would be an great idea🧐😅
you’re such a trooper!!
You are so beautiful and inspirational! You are the best!
You inspire me to keep going! Even if its baby steps.
OMG I LOVED YOUR FACTS AND STUFF but i cant decide if i want to be an obgyn or an orthopedic surgeon 😭
I’ve been taking care of my dad post surgery this week. I had my first test of the semester (organic chemistry 2) yesterday. Got 2 hours of sleep Thursday night. Went to bed much earlier than usual last night and finally have a normal sleeping schedule again. 👍🏻
