The happiness you had while in OBGYN is SO INFECTIOUS. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this happy in the vlogs. AHHHH So close to calling you Dr. Southard!!!!
It’s so beautiful to see a young brilliant women be so passionate in her academic/student journey . Very inspiring to all us women ! 💜 keep working hard . You’re awesome ! 😌
I will wait for that day when you will be ob/gyn doc! Coz lemme tell you your aura throughout this rotation was soo positive and I could feel ur love and passion for this field through these videos which is special and motivating. I hope you continue to be as amazing as you are Rachel! love you❤❤
Rachel I’ve been watching you when you first started your medical journey and I’m catching up on your videos since I’ve been busy with work. But I just wanna say we are proud of how far you’ve come and achieved! I literally have been catching up while I’m at the gym or at work now because it’s amazing seeing your weeks at the hospital! 🥰🤍
You’re going to be such a great OBGYN!! I’ve enjoyed watching you this past month so much. OBGYN is my first rotation that I’ll be doing in June!! Thank you for the helpful tips 😊❤️
So sad that this clinical rotation is over!! I've enjoyed watching so much. I love how excited and happy you were throughout this rotation and it makes me so excited to work with Drs like you in the future! I'm currently on my L&D clinical rotation in nursing school and currently interviewing for L&D RN positions. I can definitely relate to never wanting to leave at the end of the day, even after spending 12 hrs on the floor! Such an honor to be there with moms during deliveries. You're going to be a great OB/GYN!
ah Rachel I love you! I’ve been following you since I started my premed journey and after 2 years of prep- I start med school today! I’m a student in India and seeing your videos has always been inspiring and calming. You motivated me to start my own TH-cam channel and here we are!❤️
Rachel, watching you go through med school (and seeing both the ups and downs) really motivates me to keep studying even when I'm very stressed and tired (I'm majoring in SLP). So thank you so much for posting these videos despite having a busy schedule!!!❤❤❤
Not me screaming "NOO" at the screen as you started putting that tegederm on your bare burn #learnedfromexperiencetoo 😭😭 Bless your soul for saving so many ppl from this pain in the future!
I just took my MCAT practice test, thank you so much for motivating me. I kept watching your videos during my breaks to get motivated!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 You INSPIRE all of us ❤️
Omg I just watched your first week of medical school vlog and now that I've watched this I have to say I'm so proud of how far you've come, you have grown so much.
That kind of burns hurt like hell! If you're still dealing with that you can use topical silver sulfadiazine, I use it on my patients and It does magic 💕 it will decrease pain and it will prevent an infection 🤭 I hope you feel better soon💕
Heyy Rachel. So I started watching ur videos couple months ago, and honestly, it was the best choice to make. Ur vids have inspired me to study and work harder. Thankkk uuuu for thatt. And all the bestt to ur future!!! U will definitely be a great doctorr
Long live Rafiki!!! So sad this rotation is coming to an end, but so excited for you to do this 24/7! Thanks for making such awesome content and continuously inspiring people like me :)
I am 41 this year and at 35 I had a total abdominal hysterectomy (cervix and uterus).. apparently all text book but within days we notice my bladder had forgotten hot to empty (at its fullest I had 1.4lts or urine with zero feeling to me. I have been told I have an under active bladder now and the only feeling I get is I need to pee and I need to pee NOW! And a lot of leakage. It sucks but worth it. I have endo but also I found out I also had adenomyosis as well plus a fibroid. I had my right ovary out in 2002 which had run away and planted itself into my right hip and rolled itself around a nerve so I would get right leg spasms and sharp pains down it. Thankfully when the ovary came out the pain went away. I still have my left and just last week found out I am per i menopausal.. so 6 years later.
I’m super late to watch this vid but I highly recommend using a thin layer of aquaphor before putting a bandage on to keep the moisture barrier intact! It also prevents adhesion from the bandage when you take it off. And a fun trick I learned in my wound treatment class is if your bandage is stuck to the wound is to moisten it, and if that’s not working to try and use peroxide to help breakdown the dried ooziness that the bandage is stuck to (:
Arm burns and stuff that’s not on the face I treat with a nice hot shower. It burns for a minute or two but then the nerves are deadend. I’ve been told by drs that it’s not a good idea but that’s what I do.
Rachel you should ask for some hydrocolloid pads you can cut them and put them on your burn areas (unfortunately I did the same thing except with a curling iron). These helped reduce the scarring significantly! I wore them at night covered with a tegaderm. They do take the layers off the burn but it didn’t hurt and they do heal a lot better (got rid of my infection too)! (: I think Walgreens/cvs has them too.
What rotation do you have next and are you looking forward to it? (Sorry if you mentioned your next rotation anywhere I’m not good a remembering things lol)
You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead??*
i'm in my last week of OB/GYN rn and didn't know what the appeal was until after going through it all. glad to see other med students enjoying their rotations :)
I know you were struggling with stress related hair loss for a while (Trust me, it was not enough for others to notice unless you pointed it out). Just wanted to say your hair has been looking THICK lately :)
Rachel! I love how much your passion for obgyn has shown over the last month! You are so happy and made for it! As a first year med student interested in obgyn, I would love a sit down video recapping your rotation!!
I also got a burn when I fell off my bike, and when they clean up that first layer I cried so bad and the whole day. it was so awful, I totally get your pain and I hope it healed good
Rachelllll! You are so amazing and so hardworking; Thank you for taking us along your OB rotation, it was a pleasure seeing how much you loved it. Btw you are totally not being a baby about the burn! I once got a third degree burn and bc I didn't put enough silver under the gauze, I tore up the entire top layer too, it was a bloody mess🩸 I cried, but it was okay. Anyways, keep up the amazing work Super star ✨ ❤️
Never put anything adhesive directly over a burn! That's literally the number one rule! You need something non-adhesivse, idieally a jelonet/atrauman and THEN cover with something sticky 👍🏼
You can use hydrocolloid bandages to cover your burn/blister wounds. It'll create a protective seal over your skin, and allow you to get your arms/hands wet. Yes this is the same stuff as the pimple patches but larger sized. Clean your wound and change your bandages at least twice or more a day. Hope you wound heals soon!

I'm sad about your hand burn. I hope it gets better as soon as possible 💔
I felt that burn in my spirit, ahhh 😭
Thanks for sharing some of the details on the laparoscopic surgeries! So interesting! 🥚
I’ve a feeling this is where you’ve matched into residency 😊

Can't wait to call your Dr Southard!!!
omg I saw you in the back to class apple ad!!!!
Oh heck yeah 😭😭🥲🥲
When did you see that! It was like a year ago I was in it!
I wish they would’ve offered you a colloid patch. It would’ve felt so much better babes.
I have been using hydrocolloid 🥰
Arm burns and stuff that’s not on the face I treat with a nice hot shower. It burns for a minute or two but then the nerves are deadend. I’ve been told by drs that it’s not a good idea but that’s what I do.
Take care your self 👌🏼😩🥺

Yup! Been using hydrocolloid for it :)
This girl is making me want to do ob/gyn. Ahhh. And she looks so bomb in the shirt in the outro. Total girl crush :P
PLEAAAASE DO OBGYN RECAP!
Long live Rafiki! 😄❤️
What rotation do you have next and are you looking forward to it? (Sorry if you mentioned your next rotation anywhere I’m not good a remembering things lol)
Cardiology 😭
You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead??*
I’m in my repro block of first year rn and just had a happy lil nerd moment when i heard abt the salpinx hehe
I love saying salpinx. If I get a dog, that’s what I wanna name it
Heyy rachel , I'm 15 and I aspire to become a doctor however I wanted to ask how does one get used to seeing blood ?
In the building watching 😇
That burn looks painful, hope it’s feeling better. …Wow I’d rather think about tax shields than do all that medical stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Long live Rafiki !!
Iykyk
How many rotations do you have? What’s after rotations?
5 or so!
Are you going to do any OB/GYN electives next year?
long live rafiki👯!!!
LONG LIVE RAFIKI
When do you finish 3rd year rotations?
Long live Rafiki! until we witness Rafiki again next year.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
My question…. Why were you putting a HOT straightener in the drawer…. Fire hazard!
Not trying to be rude ya know I love your videos just concerned for your safety
I always let it sit on the (marble) floor so that it can cool down and afterwards put it in the drawer. Kinda dumb that she did that if you ask me.
Chill everyone
any Silvadene or manuka honey for your burn?
Im not grossed out by burns , Im a wound care technician lol
Tegaderms are used to secure IVs… they shouldn’t have given you that for your burn 😭
Well they did 😭
HIIIIIII
Long Live Rafiki!! So proud of all you have accomplished!
i'm in my last week of OB/GYN rn and didn't know what the appeal was until after going through it all. glad to see other med students enjoying their rotations :)

@@RachelSouthard oh no, I'm sure you are! Just in case anyone's reading the comments and wondering 😉
You can use hydrocolloid bandages to cover your burn/blister wounds.
It'll create a protective seal over your skin, and allow you to get your arms/hands wet. Yes this is the same stuff as the pimple patches but larger sized. Clean your wound and change your bandages at least twice or more a day. Hope you wound heals soon!
I actually have been using that for my burn :)
