[@madisonstein378]

You don’t need to apologize for the content you produce. I admire your diligence of posting on a steady basis while still juggling medical school. To be completely honest no matter what you post I’m sure most of us enjoy it all!! Be kind to yourself 💛

[@emanuelvazquez6492]

Elementary, Middle school and High school: If your sick you get an extra day to do hw College: I have at least a day or 2 to get it back together Med school: you have 2 hrs to stop being sick

[@RachelSouthard]

hahahahha this is SO accurate.

[@emanuelvazquez6492]

@@RachelSouthard THAT'S CRAZY U LIKED AND RESPONDED TO MY TEXT...I LOVE UR VIDEOS

[@MerkyWater33]

“I’m about to enter society in 24 hours... Not into it I’m going back”. Lol I’m dead 😂

[@RachelSouthard]

i feel like you're the only person who caught that LMAO well done!

[@michellelind2255]

Our med school always helds like a worship service in a church for the people who gifted their bodies and it’s always so beautiful and well done!

[@o.o7299]

Michelle Lind That’s so blessed. What a wonderful idea

[@LuluBeLulu]

would you mind telling me which school that is? I'd love to attend a school like that

[@vicente_assis6734]

"Today is a real special day, I'm going to dissect a face". 😂😂 Love all your videos, please don't stop doing what you do.

[@sofiaz8642]

so happy to hear about the moment of silence for the people who gave their bodies! also hope you are feeling 100% now!

[@emanuelvazquez6492]

Normal People: *get excited about going to Disneyland* Med students: *Gets excited about dissecting different parts in a cadaver*

[@rachelannstephens983]

okay but why do you look so beautiful even when you're sick????? like ???? can medical science explain that ???

[@RachelSouthard]

omg stawwhpppp

[@adahuh2729]

i started medical school two months ago and i can totally relate to that. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY GIRL. just a reminder that you’re amazing!

[@DrAdnan]

I’m about to start my pediatrics rotation so I’m definitely getting sick soon 😅

[@SilentEagle2029]

I have watched every episode since day 1 and you have not let me down since! I am pretty sure I actually found your channel a year or so back when you did an MCAT based video, crazy to see how much you've grown since then and that your dreams are coming true! Keep going, you are a leader and an inspiration to us all!

[@unknownpup]

TOTALLY updated with your vlogs. Always inspiring, currently starting my pre-med courses. Your vlogs constantly reminds me why I want to head towards that direction in the medical field. Sincerely, Ambitious 28 year old mom PS you are doing amazing. There's nowhere else to go but UP!

[@nabeelah9835]

I got sick and fell behind for a month in 2nd year and could not catch up so I ended up repeating. Biggest blessing in disguise actually

[@waitin2bfound]

Loved seeing you spend time with family and getting a mini-break from studying. Hope you're feeling better. Last thing, I'm glad you talked about respecting cadavers. (I'm in OT school and don't do dissections, but we gave a moment of silence for them too.) You're amazing for keeping up with vlogs btw!

[@stasiai.6090]

I really appreciate the fact that you talked about your experience with cadavers. I've always wanted to hear about medical student's experiences with them because you're working with someone who was once alive, living and breathing, just like you. I always thought "How does this affect you emotionally, psychologically?" "What did you do after your first time with the cadavers?" Cry, binge eat, sleep, etc? It's awesome that your professors respect the donors by starting the class with a moment of silence. These people and their bodies need to be respected. Thanks for the amazing content and keep up the great work!!

[@Bhaerin]

Hey Rachel I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to apologize. There really is no need to do so, you're vlogging your week and I hope it stays fun for you to do. I hope it won't become a burden, take care of yourself!

[@easymedicinebytmd8247]

It is funny to see that most parents are alike when they visit. That awkward photo situation seems familiar ;-)

[@abbysimms9610]

This girl goes to medical school gets a good amount of sleep goes to the gym uploads consistently on KZbin and still has a life????? Nobody has any excuses. She is very inspiring

[@RachelSouthard]

Awh, Abby. Thank you

[@devin4614]

Glad you’re feeling better, I’m always inspired by your dedication! You are the bomb. I’d love to hear more about the things your studying in the week. I can’t even begin to fathom the sheer volume of content you study so I’m always curious the topics

[@morgansutherland1853]

You’re so amazing! Stop apologizing! You’re such an inspiration I am also In professional school and you take off so much stress for me just by watching your videos! So nice to have an outside source to relate to! Keep working hard because you’re making all of us want to work even harder as well!!!! Goodluck with classes until thanksgiving break!!! Thank you!!!!

I feel your pain I’ve been sick all week with the flu 😷 finally feeling better now which is good 👍🏻 I took it easy cos I received a new kidney nearly 3 months ago... so glad you are feeling better 😊

[@jolynerenelle]

I totally read 'Getting Sick OF medical school'..and I related so much!

[@lesliedelacruz5426]

Your videos are so raw and real, I love how you do not sugarcoat the harsh REALITY of being a medical student. I look up to you for you are my inspiration to pursue medical school. ALSO, NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE GIRL. You have amazing content. You are an awesome individual and I admire how productive you are.

[@ClevyReactsToo]

Hang in there friend. You've gat this!! Be strong 💪

[@ladakf]

I’m an undergraduate at university that offers a cadaver lab. It’s honestly been the best experience. I know so much about the body now from transverse pericardial sinus to Gastroduodenal artery to faux cerebri. It’s a joy! And I hope I can get in to med school.

[@Cussifi]

3:15 almost slipped ;)

[@RachelSouthard]

LMAO you caught me

[@karishmahosein1343]

You’re so inspirational. I’m also a first year med student and your videos seriously motivate me

[@adrianortiz9486]

I LOVE HOW REALLY YOU ARE ABOUT MEDICAL SCHOOL❤️❤️❤️

[@sugariiesw33t]

You're amazing Rachel for grinding so hard in med school yet still uploading videos

[@emdubreuill]

Hey! I'm a first-year medical student too - but in Montreal, Canada (in French!)! Your videos have been very entertaining and motivating to me when I sometimes do not feel like studying at all, so thank you! I know it's cheesy to say and I know you are not showing us everything you are doing, but balance is important (the Faculty always likes to remind us that, but they are right!) Don't be scared to go out every once in awhile, or do not beat yourself up if you are sick and fell a little behind. We are medical students, yes, but also human beings lol! You are an exceptionally hard-working person and if you got in medical school, you are able to get through it! Can't wait to see what bright future is awaiting you :)

[@hadilelldakli350]

I hope you get well soon! Too much stress can weaken your immune system and you could get sick easily. I used to get really sick around exams.

[@valentinaalvarez675]

I really love how you end by saying continue to work hard!! It motivates me to keep grinding!! Also I’m a Neuro major in college, so that’s soo cool that you are learning neuro rn, can’t wait to hear of any dissections!!

[@zipzap93]

Can you make a video going over your school work for the week? Everyone says its like drinking from a firehose but I can't find any examples of what a typical week might look like in terms of everything you have to study.

[@jessicamiller9703]

Ahh girl I feel you so much- we got unlucky at the same time 😭 Hang in there!! You're doing great!! 💓

[@samanthahackett8162]

Definitely my favorite series to watch!! 💕

[@Liz-qb5yx]

Glad to see your recovery was quick! I also started the neuro block and Im going through the school lecture and then reinforcing the material with Boards. Might even indulge in Ninja Nerd’s videos for the tracts. After that I have Behavior and GI. Using this weekend to cover as much as I can!!

[@Troy564]

I’ve been considering going into the medical field and looking at your videos really inspires me. Though I do feel very discouraged since I’m 22 and I feel like it’s too late for that now.

[@notis6107]

Its really not... In my university we have many people 1st year that are 20+ year old. We even have 3 or 4 40year olds

[@DaishaView]

I’m 26 and about to start my prereqs (graduated college with a degree in Psych this year). Prereqs will take me like 2 years. It’s never too late!

[@claysatherlie6047]

best way to end a stressful week by watching your vids!

[@stephbrinkhurst5465]

I get what you mean when you say you feel like you have to apologize for not being “a good vlogger” .... but I don’t think it’s true. Like these vlogs you do in medical school are just videos of what’s going on! Every vlog won’t always be packed with “good content”... I say that in quotes because I feel like there’s no “good” or “bad” content... just whatevers going on! MED SCHOOL IS FIRST PRIORITY and I feel like a lot of us here are just grateful to be apart of your journey and cheer you on! Anyone who says that you’re not producing good enough vlogs should try med school AND VLOGGING “GOOD CONTENT” themselves on top of everything else in life hahaha 😂 or maybe if it’s your brain telling you instead (or maybe you feel pressured to vlog every week when people say you’re their weekly inspiration???🤔) just remember WE SUPPORT YOU AND JUST THINK ITS COOL YOURE SHARING WHATEVER IT IS YOU SHARE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️☺️ maybe it would help if you just give yourself more time to vlog... instead of feeling like you have to produce a vlog every week?? I get w KZbin it’s good to be consistent, but produce a vlog whenever you feel like!! Love you girl! You got this!

When I had anatomy lab, I used to get nightmares of me using a scalpel and splitting my arm, legs, and abdomen open. It was strange because I wasn’t scared or disgusted or felt anything during the actual dissection.

She was still contagious the next day.

[@RachelSouthard]

Food poisoning doesn’t spread from person to person.

[@bsk2369]

It probably was some stomach virus. Does ‘food poisoning’ spread through the vomit or stool? Does the virus spread through sneezes as well? People say it is not an airborne illness.

[@bsk2369]

The virus is contagious for up to a few days after recovery, and can linger in the stool for weeks.

[@RachelSouthard]

It’s spread through contaminated food/drinking sources. But contagious isn’t the right word you’re looking for. Contagious means that I could spread my sickness, in which I couldn’t. As I said, food poisoning is not contagious and it doesn’t spread from person to person.

[@bsk2369]

I know ‘food poisoning’ is not contagious. I thought you had a virus. And yeah, they both are spread through contaminated food and drinks.
