It is always so fascinating to me how some people can speak so quickly, but so succinctly, and intellectually. I wish I was that smart 😂

[@Fifteenblades]

If you’ve watch my videos you know I’m out of breath half the time 🤣

[@Hukkmb]

Highly agree

[@devongale5139]

Nursing student here! Can’t wait to work with doctors like you because you are so informative and positive ☺️

[@akithdharmasekara9834]

Was waiting for something for so long, glad this came up on the feed

[@anavuidet9676]

Thank you so much for taking us with you during this rotation. You always make your videos really fun, interesting and informative 😊

[@Hukkmb]

I really like your speed of speaking. No any excessive words, and never bored me of what you said in this speed. You make me feel like a super woman!!! Your crazy, chic, energetic and diligent for your career. Awesome 👏

[@BooBoo-pu1jh]

Do a video on how u manage stress on the job and how to prioritize plz

[@Fifteenblades]

Great idea! Will do.

[@kimcityphotography]

Great information. I love learning. My poor husband has horrible varicose veins in his legs. They are about the same diameter as night crawlers. I asked him if he has a lot of discomfort and if they feel heavy and he said yes. He thought it was the boots his has to wear for work. I told him he needs to see a dr so they can treat it. He didn't have insurance for awhile due to loss of job, ect. I learn a ton about IR from Dr. Cenilli here on YT. Again, thanks for the great content. You're doing great. Can't wait to see what's next for you.

[@scott49140]

i was just literally watching one of your other videos when i saw this come up, time to enjoy something new

[@Fifteenblades]

Hope you enjoy!

[@fatemaalya]

I love your vlogs and they're educational

[@meluui]

You sold me on Factor lol! I've never caved on the meal prep services, but I might actually have to check Factor out because it seems extremely convenient for my bf who's in the medical field.

[@shishteressheshutes2385]

You are very well-spoken.

[@_tialipovsek]

I loooove your videos so so much

[@noordythavon8886]

Hello, your vlog popped up on my feed and I’m surprised at how much you look like one of my Sunday (Friday) Halaqah students at Masjid Annur. How ever I’m a Nurse Practitioner in Sacramento Ca and my student Rola had a different last name and was studying to be a dentist. In any event amazing content and awesome educational social media presence. I enjoyed watching. I will recommend your vlog to the students who precept with me.

[@dr.jekyll3040]

That's a nice sized OR. I love the videos and the factor meals look delicious 😋

[@sammyjane8051]

I had a similar surgery to what you was explaining. I was found to have White Parkinson’s Wolff syndrome with having superventricular tachycardia. I do find it all very interesting if I’m honest. Follow up with surgeon in a few weeks. Wish me luck! xx

[@marvoht]

Beautiful explanation

[@afiazahin4914]

Thank you very much for your videos ❤❤❤

[@pamelag3879]

Your videos go by so quickly, definitely interesting to hear! I am applying to dental school this cycle and am considering oral surgery residency after DS.

[@Fifteenblades]

Best of luck! Oral surgery is a great career.

[@pamelag3879]

@@Fifteenblades Thank you so much. I couldn't agree more with you. To me, oral surgery is a beautiful blend of dentistry and medicine.

[@AdrielWilliam]

Is it possible to do a podcast/ interview?

[@XxKiDCuDiFTWxX]

I worked on a vascular surgery floor at an academic hospital. I learned a ton. I'm hoping to apply to med school next year, but I don't think the lifestyle of a vascular surgeon is for me. Edit: there was an open AAA on a 13 cm aneurysm. That’s insane!

[@jamalmohemmed9235]

hallow Rola , your duty looks very calm not like my duty (I'm second year resident in G.S) each duty like the end of world.

[@jamalmohemmed9235]

even you have time to eat and to read.

[@alejandrobonilla813]

Appreciate the transparency and videos. I am a premed and dream about the OR…. I know it’s far away, but I have an idea and dream of being in the OR. What are some of the best pieces of advice some of YOUR mentors gave you along your premed, medical school and residency journey so far?

[@QueEn-yd4uo]

how do you know you want to be a surgeon so early in life? I’m only a senior in high school but I kind of feel like I’m being rushed to make a big life decision ( what I want to do for the rest of my life) and I’m stuck between being a surgeon and a computer scientist….. I just don’t know because I think I might be more passionate about being a doctor but…. Idk…. How did you know being a surgeon was right for you?

[@alejandrobonilla813]

@@QueEn-yd4uo expose yourself to medicine! I am a senior in college about to take apply to medical school. Freshmen year of college I began shadowing physicians and volunteering at clinics as a scribe. This alone will allow you to see if medicine is something you would be comfortable doing as a career. Many of my friends did as I did and figured out they had other greater passions in life. Believe me…. If there is anything, ANYTHING AT ALL! That you would rather do, do that! Medicine is tough but we can all do it if you put your mind to it and work hard.

[@QueEn-yd4uo]

@@alejandrobonilla813 Thank you soooo much for your feedback! I have a few questions…… if you want to be a surgeon do you have to major in something in health in college? Or does it not matter Until med school? Also how did you know you wanted to be a surgeon…. I used to think I wanted to do computer science but now I’m not so sure because it isn’t interesting to me anymore…. I found myself practicing suturing and having fun learning human anatomy more than learning how to code which is making me a little confused on what to choose.

[@alejandrobonilla813]

@@QueEn-yd4uo for medical school admissions it does not matter. Just keep in mind you will need to take additional pre requisites that the AAMC requires. Some school might required additional classes on top of what is already required.

[@taashin2863]

During these rotations can you perform general surgeries by your own ? I mean without need of direct supervision If yes why can’t a OMFs do these surgeries after residency

[@aliee199]

i want to be a trama surgen so badly and im already trying to graduate early !

[@companymen42]

I think blood clots are the scariest thing ever. It’s like one moment you’re fine and then another moment you’re off this mortal coil. Very scary.

[@mahendrapatel3478]

Nice

[@mohammad_nuri]

What was your major in university? Biological science?

[@aarushsingh6441]

From where are you ?

[@kamalsafadi3629]

how does she have a DDS and MD? did she go to dental school then go to medical school?

[@virgobreezy22]

She's an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident. OMFS residents are licensed dentists who complete a medical residency, either 4 or 6 years in length, in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The 6 year programs, like the one Dr. Rabah is in, also grant a medical degree. So yes she completed dental school, matched into OMFS residency, then completed medical school, and is now finishing her medical residency

At 1st, i thought you were kind of sick, coz your lips looked pale. ☺ But i'm happy that you're Okay!!!❤

[@beachbunnie20]

All meat - labeled "antibiotic-free" or not - does NOT have antibiotics in it. If the animal tests positive for antibiotics, it can't be butchered and sold. Labeling meat with "antibiotic-free" is just taking advantage of advertising because ALL meat is antibiotic-free.

[@vicconyc9611]

You talk too fast

[@brittneyorton7921]

You’re literally a dentist. You try so hard to come off as a medical doctor but you’re not. You didn’t go to traditional medical school nor were you apart of the MATCH for MDs. You’re a dentist who is an OMFS resident. Also ENT surgeons deal with head and neck cancers, not OMFS. Stop spreading misinformation. You guys deal with the jaw/teeth.

[@zzzzzzzzzz098]

OMFS deals with a fair share of head and neck cancers, especially if they have an MD. This is straight from the American Cancer Society. Sounds like you're the one spreading misinformation. And yeah, she's not A doctor... she's actually TWO doctors. It's kinda pathetic the amount of jealousy in this comment.

[@hengwen8627]

I can smell ur jealousy and envy lol I wish God gives you the peace that you need to get rid of this jealousy. Dentists or Dental Surgeons are Doctors just like Physicians. And OMF surgery is one of the top and the toughest surgical speciality that is linked to both medicine and dentistry. So before u spread false info go read a book and pray for ur jealous miserable ass.

[@tem9172]

She didn't go to traditional medical school? Damn do you feel this way about IMGs too? You're right that she wasn't part of MATCH for MD's, but she was still part of a competitive process where they have to select the best of dental students.

[@brittneyorton7921]

@@tem9172 Are you stupid??! IMGs go to MEDICAL SCHOOL and graduate from a medical school. So no I don’t think that way about IMGs. OMFS are dentists that went to dental school and completed some medical training after. That’s that. They don’t go through the rigorous process medical students have to go through.

[@tem9172]

@@brittneyorton7921 You realized that she went to medical school in the US, graduated from Boston University School of medicine and has an MD right?
