    As a non-traditional pre-med student, your vlogs have been so inspirational to me. At times they have given me that little extra push to keep going. Reminding me of my passion to serve my community.

    I had a med student in the OR for my c-section with my first child. The attending asked the med student to walk her through exactly how the surgery would go. The very first thing out the med student's mouth was "First, I pick up the knife...." The attending immediately responded, "Chefs use knives, doctors use scalpels. Try again." 🙂I was terrified of being awake during a surgical procedure, but that one moment of levity distracted and calmed me so much.

    Every week, these vlogs are a treat for my daughter💕. She is prep for her UCAT exam now. She feels she needs to pass her exams before she starts commenting on your vlogs and videos. She is so keen to show you her work ethic before her writing. Her birthdayis next month and she asked for your herd T-shirt to keep her going 🏃‍♀. I couldn't find the herd coffee cup in your shop collection. Lots of Love 🥰

    omg the loosing hair .. its all stress related ... haven't found a solution yet :'(... so happy to see you in such a good mood and exciting time of your life, as always love all the way from an Argentine Doctor in Germany.

    Rachel, for your hair, you’re probably experiencing a bout of telogen effluvium. I’m guessing from the previous studying for boards and stress/anxiety for them. It usually occurs 2-3 months after a high intensity/stressful event. Could be just that 🙂

    The notability app is great for note taking, you can connect to your Mac and the notes update real time. Also having a paper like screen protector helps so much!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your vlogs. With your IPAD and the note-taking. Get a paperlike Screen Protector with an Apple Pencil. It will be life changing and help use less paper, less waste, etc.

    Hey Rachel! Former MA to several dermatologists and current PA student (aka a fetus that doesn't know much yet!). Obviously best case scenario would be go to the doc and have a workup regarding your hair loss (as you know), but from watching the dermatologists I worked for, I bet they would recommend you start using minoxidil 5% otc for your hair loss. It's super cheap, effective, and they use it in isolation or as conjunctive therapy for most all types of hair loss! Just something to consider and something you can pick up at the store while you're waiting to be seen by a physician. Hope you're doing well--hair loss can be so stressful!

    -also- a paper like screen protector helps when taking notes on the iPad. It also prevents your screen from scratches from the pen.

    Hello Rachel. I also lost a lot of hair last year--the loss rate has finally slowed down. After I washed my hair and then combed it--yikes--so much hair in the comb! The look on your face after your shower looked like mine last fall. For me, I attribute it to stress and that may apply to you too, Doctor Girl! And with the hair loss, there was a time lag between the stress and the hair loss, making it more frustrating to understand. I can't say for sure if it made a difference, but I started taking some biotin daily (or when I remembered to take it). Even if it is a placebo effect of making me less stressed over my hair loss, it made me feel like I was doing something to combat it. Hugs!

    You should try Notability. It might not be comprehensive enough for what you’re using, but it is free so nothing is lost if you hate it. I used it for years in school and totally would’ve continued using it if the iPad I used it on didn’t belong to my school.

    I’m not sure why but I’m also losing clumps of hair as of late. Like I used to lose hair but lately its been horrible. When you mentioned it you made me think about it. I should do an appointment with my PCP.

    Rachel have you given any thought to what's next after you officially become a Doctor ?
    Will you change the model of your channel to something along the lines of Dr. Mike or ?

    Hey Rachael!
    I am pre-med now but I scribe for a PCP physician. Often times, hair loss can be linked to iron deficiency! Get some lab work!!

    I love watching your videos! I’m an RN in labor and delivery and I would LOVE to hear how your experience has been with the nurses on the units. You’ll be working super closely with nurses in residency most likely so I’m just curious how a newer doctor/student feels when working with nurses in L&D.
    Love your content!! And would love to work with an OBGYN like you any day. Your passion is so refreshing!

    @Gladioli10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You should get your vitamin D and iron levels checked for the hair loss, I was losing so much hair when my vitamin D was low but I started taking D3 drops and in less than 3 months I was back to healthy full hair and normal levels!

    The distinguishing aspects can be appreciated in such a way that Osteopathic med deals Path & Physio but ObGyn deals Endocrine & Neuro. Possibility of CCD - Cleidocranial dysplasia shall be evaluated during labor in all aspects Take Care..

    Does the hair loss correlate with the nutritional shakes? I have had that experience. If you are seeing new growth to replace the old, it eventually settles down.

    Girl your hair is getting very thin. I think you need to slow down a bit and take some time to take care of yourself.
