doctor working nights | Dr. Rachel Southard

[@superstiti0us]

I can't believe Patrick played that song out of NOWHERE - definition of TALENT! I'm amazed

[@RachelSouthard]

HE CAN PLAY ANYTHING. He has a serious gift.

[@karaann9899]

patrick playing the piano almost made me cry. it is so beautiful how even the most simple things can flip our entire moods around and prepare us for hard times. you’re almost done with nights, hang in there!

[@qwer981]

I was starting to sobbing when this moment played😢

[@chopartovklb2729]

Absolutely. I really adore when somebody is playing the piano for me. I have a friend who can play piano and when we were at her home she told me to sit next to her on the piano chair and she played and sang. She has an angelic voice, everything felt really special in the moment.

[@teeresagai]

The key to having a good night shift is to have Patrick play so beautifully on the keys before you go. It’s wonderful seeing the two of you in your vlogs more now. You are almost at year 2 already🎉🎉 If no one has told you, you are doing great!!!

[@RachelSouthard]

I am so lucky to hear him play 💕 And thank you. You’re so kind. I hope you’re doing well!

[@claudiabarrera2098]

My grandmother is a former pianist of the Cuba’s National Orchestra. She started her piano career since she was little and she is still a judge in some kind of kids competitions here in Miami. I have seen her play piano like an angel, I know only extraordinary and gifted people can do what Patrick did. ( I am telling you this because grandma tried to teach me, but I only got the basics like “happy birthday” song. Brought me peace, memories… he made my day❤

[@RachelSouthard]

🥺💕

[@emmahferguson8176]

i love seeing how genuinely happy Patrick makes you :)

[@aaronwilson4258]

I love working nights. There's nobody at the gym late at night and nobody at work to bother me. The worst part about doing renovations in a hospital are all the extra people there during the day. Also, there's no traffic when you work at night.

[@KenmanG1982]

Sleeping days sucks though. Has an effect on the brain

[@amberj3941]

Rachel you are so inspiring. I’m a PA I just finished my 2nd year in Derm and I get what you’re saying, when things just click they click and that confidence is priceless. I love watching your videos! Keep it up because I love you and your videos!

[@proudpharb]

That’s a bit hypocritical, don’t you think? Maybe you should check your comment before making absurd assumptions about others. I support you, Rachel!❤

[@iang4133]

Love ur energy!

[@BethWestphal2497]

WOW. Patrick is so amazing! I wish I could just walk up to a piano and play any song like that! Damn

[@RachelSouthard]

He’s gifted with such a beautiful talent!

[@emilydaniels5886]

Isn’t it amazing how much happier you are once your person moves in? Love love love seeing you smiling more 💖🫶🏼

[@shannonmarie629]

Great Job Patrick!! That was beautiful ❤❤ Rachel you shine so bright when he is around!!

[@fatemaxyz]

i’m watching this while crying i’m in my first year (of 5 years) of medical school and its finals season and its been so hard to stay as motivated as i was at first and its getting harder to study for long hours, i know my career depends on it and i know that i would be devastated if i didnt study well but i just cant bring myself to study properly, its so exhausting. i watch your videos cuz i put myself in your place and imagine myself after 5 years being where you are and it gives me hope it makes it feel worth it at the end cuz i can see what is waiting at the end of this journey and even with you describing how tired you are and how hard it is sometimes it still feels worth it, i love medicine so much i cant imagine myself being smth else other than a doctor but it doesnt feel so glamorous and fun rn with all the huge anatomy and physiology and biochemistry books it feels too much right now with all that being said i love your videos so much and i still watch your old medical school videos cuz they feel like different parts of the journey ill be on in the future and i know it wont be the same but you give me hope that it is doable and worth it. please never stop making your videos, ive been watching them since you were in your second or third year and i remember that videos where you were so excited while studying ob gyn and saying that this might be what you want to do for the rest of your life it was one of the most beautiful videos you have ever made and also the one with your first delivery. you’re so amazing. thank you. ❤️❤️

[@asha-bi7by]

Honestly! I've had a breakdown everyday for 5 weeks! Keep going, I hope you'll have a smile by the end of this, whether it be after finals or after the five years x

[@fatemaxyz]

@@asha-bi7by youre so sweet thank you so much i hope it gets easier for you and that you do well ❤️

[@zainab5674]

I am so proud of you. I cried alot on 1st yr bt you are so positive with a good routine even wit so little sleep. Just hang in there😉

[@kini699]

Watching u just calms me down. M not in good place rn in my life and this really helps❤❤

[@LisaR-29]

I work for a hospital reviewing L&D charges and here in SC we are just at the start of the “summertime rush.” Every year for the past 10 years that I’ve been doing this the summer is baby season. Just like for you the population is up for mommas all over the hospital. You’ve got this. ❤

[@bethanyjowers3133]

Great video as always, you seem so happy with Patrick living with you and it's easy to see why!

[@meganapple8805]

Your videos make me romanticize my life and by that I mean like clockwork, every Saturday, I take a study break (I'm now OMS-2 yay!) to watch your video as soon as you upload and go to the gym and listen to Patrick's gorgeous music and I often watch your videos twice because I want to show my partner and it usually sparks really great discussions and I just want to thank you so much Rachel for sacrificing so much to me a Dr. and for sharing your life and being honest and just being a really fricken amazing woman. Thank you

[@stephanieoregan]

Rachel it's awesome to see you smile so much ❤ Patrick helped with that but also you realizing how much butt you have kicked in the last year ❤

[@ctdd2536]

A different order of adulthood when you order towels😅

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel happy Sunday morning to you and I enjoy enjoy channel and you are amazing

[@claudiabarrera2098]

You are also incredible. You are a super woman/ Super heroe. What you do while everyone sleeps takes courage and passion for your profession.

[@RachelSouthard]

🥺 Ty 💕

[@jenniferecheveste8415]

WE LOVE PATRICK. Rachel, you are such a blessing and such a badass. Thank you for your representation in this field. I know so many little girls watching are looking up to you and want to be just like you.

[@angel8223]

I really love rachel so much. I get excited for sunday... everytime. ❤ I really feel happy that she actually never stopped posting and allow us to see her beautiful personality here:))

[@wendymassey9963]

So right about the eating! Thx for bringing it to my attention again! So often I eat from boredom, to help myself stay awake, in social settings because everyone else is eating…etc Bad habits for sure! Enjoy your channel…and the piano music is beautiful!

[@zhuzhupetlover6673]

Helped me a lot too. I eat when I get really bored but I’ve found that when I do that, I’m not eating good food. It’s just all junk. But when I’m actually hungry, I do try and eat healthier alternatives

[@RachelSouthard]

You're so welcome! Thank you for your support 💕

[@alexandrataylor5452]

Wanted to let you know, you inspired me to exercise. I paused the video and went and worked out !! If you have time, I have time bestie 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@RachelSouthard]

Keep it up💕

[@PoojaPatel-jh5iu]

For Sterile Processing Tech, they work in day shift or evening shifts but it’s depend which applications to apply for that department. It’s a good hand on experience plus it’s a easy job!! 😊

[@betsybabf748]

I have a large family friend who has had FIFTEEN c-sections. They have to deliver her weeks early every time, but she had every baby in her very large family by c-section. She's had really look to find an OB to treat her in her journey of having a large family. Her abdomen scars looked like a bit like Frankenstein. My 4th delivery was a c-section, due to a pretty severe placental abruption during labor. My 5th delivery, with twins, was an attempted VBAC 11 months after my prior c-section, which was going well until 18 hours into labor. Baby B pushed baby Am who was in position, transverse so a repeat c-section ended up being needed.

[@SAb-tt4kz]

Rachel can you go into more detail about your schedule what you do exactly in the hospital if you can I’m also interested in OBGYN

[@sewingforjoy201]

It’s a full moon 🌕 too!!!

[@1200kevin1]

Excellent video. Keep up the great work.❤

[@mizzhelloo]

These videos are my favorite 🎉 I put them on when I’m getting ready for work lol

[@alyssad7019]

you’re incredible. never forget it.

[@kendrapratt2098]

I totally agree with you about the food

[@laritza8284]

Wait I'm so tired from work rn and Patricks playing made me cry

[@RachelSouthard]

😭😭😭get some rest fam!!!

[@AlexandraLacy-kk8fb]

Super cute! Love the mix of work life balance

[@LL-ls1um]

I love LMNT so much, used your link to get a free sample pack because my OG has been the mango and i didn’t wanna buy a new flavor i didn’t like so ty 🙂

[@msJmarcus1]

people often speak of overlap between medicine and music so loved hearing the piano in this. Do you play music as well?

[@fatemaxyz]

can you make a video about how you keep going when you feel like you cant and how you take care of yourself and your mental health

[@AbdulAli-ku9he]

12:16 So true.

[@ahmedamc4476]

I remember watching you 2 years ago .

[@RachelSouthard]

Welcome back!

[@amyc4406]

I love LMNT! I use it every time I wOrk out. I LOVE the mango chili flavor. Hugs to yOu boo❤.

[@RachelSouthard]

I love it! Hugs💕

[@imanetv8235]

In Algeria we do night shift 24h for one day of rest

[@kawteralidahmane1100]

ااا بنت بلادي از هير 🕊️ Even for surgeon residents ?!

[@barankarwan5079]

That was sooo sadd🥺 she’s like dare I say this shift is good and then the next clip she’s like it was the worst 😖

[@kristine_roaten23]

If/when just trying LMNT, do you recommend using a whole packet? I’m excited to try it - just Don’t want to over do the sodium. Thx 😊

[@jessicagingras6488]

I love that you have a whole couch and still sit on the floor together - I too am a floor sitter hahahha

[@Jesutoni]

O my goodness you’re so strong mL

[@ashleyh8352]

Playing that song by ear 😮 i cannot! What does he do for work?

[@thriveperformanceandnutrition]

There is nothing disordered about your approach to eating and exercise! It needs to be thought about more because to your point, we as a society don’t pay attention to fullness cues. So glad you brought that up. Sincerely, a RD candidate 🫶🏼

[@RachelSouthard]

Exactly! Thank you for supporting this!

[@cocoaxo6126]

I love your approach too!! I’ve actually struggled with an eating disorder for the past two years so my hunger cues have been a huge learning curve. I’m scared for the night shifts though because I hate feeling super tired and don’t want to rely on eating to keep me up. But this was reassuring !! ❤

[@rachellllhines]

seeing you two together brings me such joy :')

[@preciousseriki9525]

Hey Rachel, I was wondering for c sections have tou ever used an adhesive tape thingy to close instead of sutures cause my mom had the tape thingy when she had my brother a few years ago and said it was better that the stitches she got when she had me

[@pinkrose372]

May I ask just out of curiosity have you done any C-sections where the mother died during labour how did you cope or how do u plan to cope if that happens?

[@RachelSouthard]

No I haven’t been directly involved in a case with maternal death :/

[@linnsoltwedel]

Is it true that many Americans have c-sections and schedule their labor and get induced? Not that many start the birthing prosess on their own and birth naturally?

[@kimcheek8027]

Must be the full moon!

[@rebekahstevenson8283]

What song is he playing? That's beautiful!

[@RachelSouthard]

Billie Eilish - L’Amour de Ma Vie

[@mirandajacobson858]

Are you not allowed to film inside the hospital anymore?

[@zhuzhupetlover6673]

I don’t think so.

[@Emily31662]

Girl, idk how you do it. That’s insane. How do you deal with your mental health? I have lots of free time and have a hard time managing sometimes!

[@Odiekins]

Do you get a break between first and second year??

[@RachelSouthard]

Nope! Not even a weekend off lol

[@cindyrangel1433]

What’s Patrick’s music background?🎶

[@christian02183]

You put me on Jaanuu, they are so comfortable and sleek!

[@RachelSouthard]

Aren’t they!

[@onceuponanexploration6048]

It’s a full moon.

[@malakfb5754]

What is Patrick’s zodiac sign ?? you are so sweet together ( I am a libra too that’s why I’m asking hehe )

[@MentalHealthMamaa]

I was wondering the same -Gemini here lol

[@RachelSouthard]

He’s a Capricorn!

[@IK-fg4gw]

[@Knitter33]

Why does your fiance bleach his hair? No one does that anymore.

[@RachelSouthard]

What’s it to you to be so judgmental over another human being

[@lukas_lowry]

Anyone else kinda miss her actually filming herself in the hospital :,(

[@RachelSouthard]

Well I can’t, so this will have to suffice fam.

[@zhuzhupetlover6673]

I miss it too but if she’s not comfortable doing that or is unable to, we need to accept that.

[@cameroncouldntthink]

Not really cause if you watch her continuously, it’s understandable why she isn’t anymore. There are plenty of other wonderful KZbinrs like Rachel who do film inside the hospital! I think Dr America Revere has really fantastic content as well 😊

[@caitlinsanderman137]

I mean not really, it would be super hard to film inside the hospital, especially when you have a crazy shift and have to be on alert for 12 hours bro…
