“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊❤️

I went to BUSPH and worked at BMC, so it’s always fun to see content from my old stomping grounds. You also clearly have a psyche of steel since BMC’s a tough place to work. Props to you!

Hello Rola! I am a electroneurodiagnostic technician and I LOVE watching your videos. It's just so cool seeing the life of an doctor. Not only that it keeps me motivated at work and come back to realize why we are in the medical field! Thank you for all you do!

It's so good to see you enjoying your time before shifts! I usually tend to be a corpse in my bed before and after shifts (mostly due to anxiety)

[@usernotfound232]

Hey! I'm curious as to when and how do you finally rest fully like no day shifts no night shifts or does it just rotate until the year finishes and I hope it'll get easier for you :)

[@FahadSheraidah]

Hey Rula, I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you could make a video regarding the requirements for the OMFS program for non-US dental school graduates. Stay safe, love your videos :).

Can you make a video on the rode to become a trauma surgeon, what classes to take and things like tha!

[@adityaiyli8982]

What’s the hospital you got selected at now and what’s your tip on getting picked to be a resident at a hospital? Also I’m Curious if your hospital dislikes your videos or is okay with that because i’ve heard that some hospitals don’t love doctors taking videos at the hospital . Also I want to be a doctor but I’m not sure if the long path is for me but after all those years of school you get to help people at the end! Thanks so much for your videos and love your dog! ♥️

Plz could you make a video on how foreign trained dentists can do OMFS residency in the unitied states..

[@PallaviSingh0906]

Thanks... I will be a hardworking doctor... Just like you... 😊

[@Andrea-sb3yx]

Curious - so do you do any type of surgeries in your residency or just oral, which is your specialty? You mentioned appendicitis, but that doesn't seem to be in your specialty?? (Obviously I'm not a doctor :-)

[@lumaamorim3957]

Even with the 4 years OMFS program is possible to do fellowships ? And do you think the people who does the 6 years program have more advantages than the dentists that choose the 4 years ?? Iam really confused.

[@susanlopez7632]

Please do a video on how to land a residency in oral surgery

Youre welcome Arvind! Thanks for watching!

[@ahoward3819]

That seems like a pretty quiet an doable night on call. I think it is important to note, depending on where you work, you may not get the chance to snooze or stretch your legs while in call. I fact you may never sit down. Rarely do you feel refreshed and often your makeup does not look so good at the end of your shift- if you ever even get the chance to put any on.

[@beautyinside99]

this is actually the largest and busiest level 1 trauma center in new england!

[@LuLuLove03]

Can somebody explain to me how a doctor can “rest” overnight for a little bit (i.e. 30 minutes) if they’re a heavy sleeper without risking not being able to wake up for an emergency??😭

[@FacundoMD]

ER doctor here ! Having done many many on call 24hrs shift. You get used to this light sleep that is responsive to a message or page, you wake up answer like a robot think automatically, put orders, respond etc, and then sleep again. Impressive how the body adapts !

[@usernotfound232]

@@FacundoMD Yo this gives me hope I'm preparing to get into med school and one of my fears was how heavy of a sleeper I am and this is exactly what I thought would happen

[@FacundoMD]

@@usernotfound232 You will do great dont worry !!!! You will realize that over the years of hard work and studying you will have an exponential growth of memory, learning speed and performance on the wards ! no joke ! is like a sport in a way !

Interesting to see this side of it…I’m a circulator in the O.R.

[@Fifteenblades]

Hi Erica! Thanks for watching! It’s nice to see things for different perspectives

[@Ahn-mu3db]

What certificate and experience do you need to be a circulator? Are you a nurse? This sounds interesting

[@icaspe]

@@Ahn-mu3db I am an RN with a bachelor’s degree but I started with an associates degree and finished my BSN later. I applied to an operating room nurse position. If you don’t have O.R. experience then they might have a training program called Periop 101. I had previous experience in a different department.

Hi Dr. ROLA i am so interesting your videos so much iam Basel I from Syria I currently in Lebanon I will come to Canada i will study medical first i would like take your advice which is the best for medical school premed medical science or biomedical science or medical laboratory science cuz i would be a general surgery thank you so much

[@Fifteenblades]

Hi Basel! I would say it doesn't really matter as long as you take all the prerequisites for the medical schools and keep up with your grades. I would pick whatever you find genuine interest in the most. Also, make sure you check the prerequisites for each program you apply to!
