my weekend (post call and work) | Dr. Rachel Southard

[@PaigeLepowsky]

The "HELLOOO!" from Ms. Doubtfire had me cackling. So not expected but totally and wholeheartedly appreciated it. lol.

[@RachelSouthard]

😂😂😂😂 needed to make yall laugh. I can be goofy sometimes

[@HelloMoto_]

as a new first time mom, I just want to say how I wish all OBGyn’s were like you… truly, we need more that care for the mom and still treat them like humans after delivery and not just a baby birthing machine. I hope you never lose sight of that and always treat all mommas with love and care because holyy crap labor is insane and post-partum is even crazier! haha

[@lenam.5429]

Hi Rachel, I am going to be an incoming pre-medical student and I wanted to say that your videos form the beginning till recently have been extremely helpful in showcasing the ups and downs of the journey into medicine. Your words about no matter how hard you fall, you always get up and instilling confidence no matter the circumstances of a situation is truly inspirational. You are one of the very few that gives individuals hope to become a doctor despite the challenges that come with. Thank you ❤

[@THuuDo]

So perfectly said! Thank you! I’m in the same boat.

[@gabbym.8154]

Me too!!! This community is so helpful with its ongoing support and motivation. Let’s continue to use it in the upcoming years as Rachel supports a whole new generation of physicians.

[@meghangantt717]

You are so resilient it’s amazing! The fact that you can fully acknowledge and face the problems in the system you’re working in and still find motivation to continue doing what’s important to you is inspiring. Thanks for all of the stories about your patients, they’re always my favorite.

[@RachelSouthard]

What my weekend looks like when I’m on call (24hr shift) Friday! Saturday - day off Sunday - day shift on labor and delivery! Enjoy :)

[@monsej8568]

lol the fact that you're using the OR blue towels to clean, is relatable!

[@chelseychacko]

i love your videos so much. chaos followed by peaceful piano. it’s amazing.

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you so much! The piano is the best partt

[@fatemetoliat7222]

Hey Rachel, very proud of you for how far you have come. I am in Nursing school now and I know how it feels to be having your life surrounding school or work. It can be a lot but keep pushing forward we are Red Ants and We got this!!❤🐜

[@zarifLadak-p2l]

I love your videos because they remind me to take care of myself even when the block is hard

[@RachelSouthard]

Hey you!! Yes! Take care of yourself

[@TaraChander-w6g]

Hi Rachel! Thank you for continuing to post! You’ve been such an inspiration to me and helped me realize how much I want to pursue being a DO!! 💕

I really love how resident Rachel upgraded to a nespresso 🎉🎉

[@tiffanybusby4248]

😘 Have a great week Dr. Rachel!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you! You too :)

[@AlexandraLacy-kk8fb]

It would be so amazing if you coud make a vlog talking about how medical students can prepare for OB/GYN rotations! What resources would you recommend, what skills should we practice, that kind of stuff!!

[@alexanndra_rose]

Dr. Rachel Southard, I'm so happy to be here! You are my favorite KZbinr. I look forward to your videos and enjoy watching your journey. I learned a lot from your vlogs as I aspire to pursue medicine. I have been following you since you were prepping for the MCAT. You are indeed a rockstar! ❤🤩

[@zhuzhupetlover6673]

Always so proud of how far you’ve come. I got my Herd shirt in the mail and I love it! Keep up the hard work doc! Love you

Haven’t commented much recently but I just want you to know that I still absolutely love you and your videos!! I literally wait for them HAHAH. You are by far my favorite KZbinr, and I love love love watching your journey ❤️ side note: I got the Callie earrings and I love them omg!! they’re so cute and unique! They’re my favorite pair I own now :’))

[@RachelSouthard]

Awh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This comment means so much to me 💕 you have no idea. And yay! I hope you love the Callie earrings. They’re MY FAV. I get so many compliments on them

[@lacey-romero]

Hey Dr. Southard 😊 Currently working on finishing my undergrad in Biomedical Science. I’ll be applying for P.A. school afterward, but your videos are very inspirational and motivating.

[@jarenasampson3638]

It's so interesting that Fridays are usually your most busy days. Our busy days tend to be Mondays in the ER I work out. I am weekends only as an ED tech so I don't work Mondays anymore unless I pick up. And Fridays aren't usually bad unless we are low on staff. We did end up having 5 Bravo trauma alerts last night at the tail-end of my shift that I stayed to help with.

[@emsabby99]

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm on my post-call day too 😅🎉

[@InaLanoami]

Interstellar is one of my favorite movies!!

[@catstang03]

I am a RN. Unfortunately, the light at the end of my tunnel comes at retirement. But it’s ok. It still love bedside.

[@aidathemd]

Hey Rachel, I am so happy you're back. Loved the video. By the way can I ask how do you remove your gel nail polish?

[@ElaineSharon358]

In n out!!!! So jealous. We don’t have this in GA… I always enjoy your videos, I have made respect for you and your journey ❤

[@aseg1827]

hey, can you make a video about how it's like for you as a doctor when a patient passes away? emotionalwise, do you have to tell that to their family etc?

[@sunriselotus]

Hi Rachel, my residency experienced suffered a lot because I was bullied my intern year and this ruined my experience n getting the training I needed and also being able to enjoy residency and create good doctor patient bonds. I know this is random but can you please shed some light on what I can do because it’s still bothering me and I felt so exhausted and defeated and I ask my self why I didn’t enjoy residency and I think it was because of the people who really took away from all the learning and training and stuff. Yeah, if you can cover it in one of your videos that would be great. Thank you!

[@misolasis12]

Have a nice day doctor 😊

[@alelingle4521]

Can you add the link to the at home nail kit you use please?? 🙏🏻

[@mikemalcom7449]

Dr Southhard thinks she looks pale however what is actually happening is she is becoming more radiant replacing weights with walking, her stressed out wrinkle lines with better skin care routines and coming into her own bc she made it and now her more feminine side is shining. Congratulations Dr. Southhard you show us everyday why we follow you and why you're my hero. I will catch up at some point. 😊 NOT OBGYN!!😢

[@joyzkive_]

Thank you for this vlog Rachel!!! Love you❤

[@RachelSouthard]

You are so welcome! Love you back!

Hi Rachel! I am watching your videos from last 6 years till now your vlogs are like must to watch videos on KZbin. I always think that when i will get a chance to talk with her. Anyways lots of love and best wishes for you❤❤.

[@skybear17]

"loving what you do but hating the system" is exactly how i feel as someone going into the psych field. im going into forensic psych specifically but the whole system is an absolute MESS and it infuriates me. can only hope my gen of psychologists can make it a better place ;-;

[@elainah1693]

Hi Rachel!! When applying for match, how were you able to distinguish which programs were nice to residents? Did it take going to see the program in person or research?

[@sunriselotus]

Dear Rachel, I went to a very malignant program, and it was in peds. I think I wrote another comment about how I faced bullies. So anyways, I didn’t survive. And now I’m trying to find a way forward. I have so much PTSD from the hospital that I’m not sure if and when I will go back.

[@makenacaron3554]

I've been watching your videos since your first year of med school :) I'm a genetic counseling student currently and wonder if you ever work with prenatal genetic counselors?? Your video on dealing with fetal demise was so sad and felt so relatable, thank you for sharing the highs and lows

[@DizzieLaura19]

Always enjoy your videos ❤ looking forward to your ED vlog! I'm just about to start a 7 week placement in an ED at a major trauma centre hospital here in the UK (I'm a student nurse)! Super exited but also anxious AF 😂 hope your ED rotation goes well ❤xx

[@oliviaroseh]

hey rachel, it's kind of small but I just wanted to say, thank you so much for wearing an LGBTQ+ badge reel. i work at a hospital here in LA, i'm in a WLW relationship, and most of all of my co-workers have been disapproving and voiced to me how disgusting they think my relationship is. it's been really hard to deal with and i'm surprisingly finding it hard to see any support or allyship in my medical community. i'm attending your med school (Western!!) this upcoming august and i hope to show my support for my community the way you have for us. all this to say, thank you for the support

[@izziejado2820]

Hey Rachel! I'm an MS1 and I'd love to if you did a "why OB/GYN" video. I appreciate that you give us pieces of that within all your videos, but I'd love to hear about things you did in medical school that solidified the specialty for you, any extracurriculars you were involved in to make you a solid applicant, or even hear about the away rotations process or other opportunities you had throughout medical school! Figured that could make a good (hopefully easy) sit-down video for you :) I also have noticed many people become torn between OB/GYN and Pediatrics. Could you talk about if you had that experience at all, or why you think that's a common thing?

[@yasminbradley-heise7797]

absolutely agree! would love this!!

[@zhuzhupetlover6673]

Yes!!! Dr Rachel please do this video!!!!

I know how you feel.. I watched a video of a removal of a para ovarian cyst, I was like hell yeah.. sent it to a friend because they want to be a nurse practitioner, and they was like ewww wtf is that.. told em it was the removal/rupture of a cyst .. long story short they’re not going to become a nurse practitioner anymore. Guess it’s something you gotta have the stomach for 😅 . Personally I like craniotomy’s. Neuro is my field.

Wow. I really admire you Dr. Southard. I would have loved to have been a doctore. Unfortunately when I was in Premed in my 20s this girl raped me, and i was diagnosed with bipolar and had to go throught the mental health and criminal justice system. I hope you have a great lie

[@sweeeeeet85]

I had to stop after you were discussing how much you don't like your life right now where everything revolves around being a resident...like this gridlock. you love what you do but you hate this like overworked situation you are in. I'm currently a PhD student in my last year before submitting and I am having this exact same feeling. I hate working this much. I love my research and teaching and working with students, but I feel overworked. I honestly don't think it gets better after the PhD if I stay in academia so I'm just...not sure. Do you think it will get better once you are done with residency?

[@angiejohnrc2627]

Thank you for caring for the missed abortions patients. I hate the name and wished medicine call it something more gentle. I lost two pregnancies at about this stage and chose to have a D&C, they were both so emotional.
