    Thank you for these vids young lady. Since I hardly hear from my son who is a third year medical student in New York, your videos allow me to imagine what he might be experiencing. He too is concerned with mental health, so much so that he’s leaning towards psych. Anyway, you are going to be one incredible physician. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments

      Hi Juan! Oh boy. When I didn’t have enough time to chat with my parents, I always appreciated seeing a text here and there from them saying that they’re thinking of me ♥️
      I hope he’s doing well.
      And thank you so much. Happy holidays to you and your son!

    Don't ever second guess showing your happy moments!! Others may be in stressful situations, but imo we all love seeing you so happy! Speaking for myself as an OMS-II currently taking finals, I love those moments❤It gives me a lot of hope that there's so much more waiting in the future and that grinding away day after day is worth it

    It's awesome to see you are working at a great hospital. I was a CNA there for 3 years and I loved floating to the ER. Not going to say where it is but it's funny bc I saw the logo and looked over to my car windshield and I still have the parking sticker with the logo. Also don't feel bad about you being happy. Alot of us need that energy and seeing yours is most definitely contagious 💕

    Hey Rachel! I just discovered you and I recently got into my state's DO program. Can you make a video of all the things you did to prepare for COMLEX and STEP as well as how you gained extracurriculars such as publications etc. while in medical school? I want to shoot for radiology but it's pretty competitive. A timeline breakdown would be great and really help me out! Meanwhile, I'll be bringing your videos! 😆

    Great Vlog Rachel, i really enjoyed watching!🥰 I‘ve a question for all of my med students colleagues: did you ever struggle with anxiety when it comes to illnesses and fate? I’m studying in austria, i’m currently in fourth year and at the moment I’m really struggling a looot with all those really bad, aggressive illnesses such as neoplasias, cancer or neurological stuff. I’m often scared to develop an illness like those myself and yes, I wanted to ask if anybody can relate or if this is just me (I’m afraid of Not being suitable for the profession 🥴🥴) :)

    Greetings Ms.Southard,
    Key Thoughts :
    - Skin Infections, Anaphylaxis, Respiratory tract infection are Common in CD & NCD during Seasonal Illness.
    - Relaxing and Rejuvenation through Traditional therapy helps to Cleanse the Inner Self.
    P.S - My Approach is simply with Rosary in Church and also with Reiki, ASMR and Nature Walkout in periodic means.
    With regards,
    RanjithJoseph (R.J)

Apologies r meant when we have done something wrong so as far as I can see u don’t have any reason to apologize. On to the next rotation and all it has to offer.

    Rachel, I've always enjoyed your videos, but this time, you've really done it. Thank you so much for this focus on self-care and for modeling great approaches to mental health. I would like to highlight that many people neglect the spiritual aspect of mental health (which may or may not include religious practice) for fear of religious proselytizing or professional embarrassment. This is especially prevalent in medicine and healthcare, and it's the aspect of clinician well-being that is the focus of my work. I wanted to share with you and your followers an article I wrote on the subject of medical student spiritual health, available on the student-resident well-being page of the AAMC website. A link won't post in comments on RUclips, but you can find it easily by searching Elizabeth Berger Spiritual Health AAMC. Wishing you well and cheering you on. :)
