Count and comment down below how many times I say that I'm tired and how many times i look tired. LMAO This is basically the last of the gen surg vlogs! Hope you enjoyed em. Next vlogs= internal medicine!
Hey just wanted to say that the little talk in the car was really important and I’m so glad u put it in the vlog. I think having a really influential med school youtuber who emphasizes teamwork and helping others is so valuable. Cause it’s just a huge ripple effect of positivity in the long run! I’m pretty lucky and haven’t met too many gunners at my undergrad and I’m definitely way more of a team player than someone who wants to show off. Anyway just wanted to say that I’m glad u put that segment in.
"be kind to yourselves...." Rach be kind to yourself. Your vlogs reflect your life, and for that we are always grateful. Never apologise for the content, you should not feel the need to apologise. You are an amazing person and an amazing doctor in training.
It’s just like a lot of pre-meds in labs - they never want to help and always see everyone as competition 🙄 As an older pre-med I hate that shit so much. I ALWAYS help other people out if I can, no sense in hoarding info.
A month ago I was shadowing a doc in internal med and there was a med student there on rotations. I will literally NEVER forget how kind and helpful she was. She told me how everything ran, what things meant in non-medical jargon, and even let me walk with her as she did HPI for a patient. She even gave me tips for med school and her contact info for if I needed more help. It makes such a big difference!! I hope I can do the same for students one day!
It’s okay if you decide to cut back a little on vlogging while on rotations (e.g. a vlog every other week or something like that). You mentioned being really tired and that it was hard to balance vlogging all week with your rotation… I just want you to make sure you are remembering to take care of yourself ❤️
Really loved your point about helping others and teaching them 💕💕, some people still don’t understand the fact that we work for other’s health not to just look smarter or better than other student 😑
Yay love this! It's amazing that you're so proactive in helping out the medical students! 😊 Recently finished my general surgery rotation in the UK with a wonderful team. Had the new doctors joining us - so exciting to teach them how everything works!! Trying to figure out the system is the hardest thing when starting as a doctor - you already know enough medicine! ✌️
I feel ya girl, we are in the medical field to help others. I know working in a hospital is stressful, but I feel sensitive the way you do, people can be rude, insensitive and not helpful. We are supposed to be a team so things run smoothly.
I love watching these rotations vlogs because it makes me feel exposed to the clinical world when I'm actually stuck inside a room with my online classes.
Rachel... I do not understand why you only have 194k subscribers! You are such an amazing person and you deserve much more. Lots of love from South Africa ❤️
10/10 helping other students is honestly the best! on one of my rotations as a fourth year, I had a second year medical student with me and took him under my wing to get him comfortable with histories and presenting! at the end, my attending gave me a phenomenal evaluation and said it had a lot to do with how willing and great I was at teaching!
Fridays can never come quick enough! I always look forward all your vlogs and videos! I really appreciate you working even harder to give us great content on top of medical school! Your incredible Rachel! ❤️🐜
Your comments on the importance of teamwork and being helpful is SO refreshing. I'm competitive, but honestly, mostly with myself, but I'm so willing to help people, and I needed the reminder that we don't need to see other people as our competitors, in my degree there's a real push for that. It goes against who I am though, so thanks for being a voice out there to advocate for teamwork and helpfulness especially when it's going against the grain of a particular culture!
So excited for this video!! Love your videos Rachel, I appreciate that even though you have such long shifts you still make content for us! Thank you!❤️
Kudos to you for still vlogging through your rotations despite it being SO much work and stress and exhaustion!! You probably wouldn't want to vlog when you get home but would it be possible for one of the vlogs where even for just one day - you show what your end of day is like? Would love to see that flow from high time to down time (even if it's you still studying etc.)
Man ur consistency and thoughtfulness when uploading is super inspiring! Pretty sweet! I for one don’t mind hearing the shpeal (idk how to spell that) again :)
You need some Overnight Oats for breakfast. Super easy to make; literally just dump the packet contents into the special cup and add whatever milk you like and leave it in the fridge overnight. Plus they have so many flavors and do seasonal flavors too. Also, remember to take care of your mental health. Make sure you have someone you can talk to if you need to decompress from seeing horrible traumas like you mentioned or just the stress of the job and balancing life in general.

Hey Rachel, so proud of you. You work really hard. It motivates us too. Love these new vlogs. I miss your home though. Would love it if you'll include some clips from your home too. Lots of love ❤❤
I wish you would share more about the types of traumas you're seeing! Obviously don't want to know personal information, but describing what you see and get to do would be awesome!
I think part of the not helping others can also be a part of getting your critical thinking started. I definitely agree that some could be more helpful than others etc, but sometimes the method is used to help exercise critical thinking!
Rach, can you start the day from your home? Would like to see how you prepare for such long hours. Will be great if you could film a morning and night routine during rotations.
Wish you could go into more info about what traumas u experience. I completely understand about why you can’t but violin MD will explain what happened w/o pt information. Loving the vlogs
May I ask where your dainty necklace is from? It’s so subtle & beautiful! Also, thank you for posting vlogs despite being so busy, I always look forward to them! You’re so motivating!
*If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want will become the ultimate sacrifice.* The chances of you seeing this comment is really low, but if you did, *I hope you have a great day....* 🖤
My clinical rotation is : @Rachel Southard ➡️@Dr. Cellini for some interventional radiology➡️@Dr. Antonio Webb for some spine surgery➡️@Karmamedics ➡️@BrainBook➡️@America revere➡️@Dr. Rola Raba➡️@ND MD. 🔁... I am on call every day
Hey! I love to watch your channel and I love your videos!! I have a question though, how do you deal with anxiety? (If you have any). For example hospital anxiety? I have the jitters when I go to a hospital, like I feel like I’m going to pass out. But how do you deal with that?
I’m always surprised to see American and Canadian drs wear their white coats. In Australia we haven’t worn them for years as they are considering to be an infection control issue and have to be ‘bare below the elbows’
Heyy I've been watching you for over a year now and you've inspired me a lot. Please I start 2nd year in November, can you advise me on what to read to prep myself?
Team work is so important but what sucks is when I’m the only girl in my group and have to put up with sexist and demoralizing comments from my male peers. I’m a medical student and these boys have the audacity to call me a nurse at times.
Hi Rachel! I’ve really enjoy your videos even though I have zero clue about anything involving the medical field lol. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I was wondering if this is part of your schooling or is this your job? Also if it is apart of schooling, do you get paid? As someone who isn’t involved in this world it’s very interesting to watch & learn about!! Thank you for all the uploads :))
Different med student named Rachel here in case she doesn’t see your question. Typically clinical rotations are a part of medical school (usually the last 2 of the 4 years), so this is not her job. Medical students are not paid for their time in the clinic/ hospital since it’s a part of our training. Hope that helps!
@@RachelSouthard alrighty.. but u know.. society expects doctors to take more responsibility than an average citizen, if a doctor feels the system is putting too much burden on him/her to become tired and not being able to do the task then its a worry for all and u probably should talk to the management for a better arrangement. But if your tiredness is after the happy end of an exhaustive yet fulfilling shift then probably its fine!
Count and comment down below how many times I say that I'm tired and how many times i look tired. LMAO
This is basically the last of the gen surg vlogs! Hope you enjoyed em. Next vlogs= internal medicine!
HEY RACEL! aspiring med student here, love ur videos wanted to know if u record the clips while in the hospital with ur iphone, amazing videos❤

Yes this is the best. I add berries to the overnight oats as well.
You got this!!!! If anyone can get through it! DEAR RACHEL, it's gonna be you!
I am a surgeon and I am also a doctor at my hospital in my home town. I love what I do. I wouldn't want to do anything else.
I have my ISOM final tomorrow and rewatching this video just got me so pumped and motivated. Ty so much Rachel you’re like my unofficial mentor (-,:
You got this 🥲❤️

Youre seriously such an amazing person ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Final year med student here , tomorrow starting my EM rotation !

Any advice for M2s trying to prep for rotations next year? I feel so unready,especially with COVID. You are awesome Rachel Southard!

Can you explain what you study during rotations? Do rotations have exams, quizzes, etc?
New subscriber so happy I stumbled upon your channel ❤
using whatever and whenever tells me you need to slow down and rest . your mind is under pressure.
You really don't look tired and I am low key jealous :)

Welcome to clerkship Rachel.
Curious on how many steps you get in a day, because it looks like you walk miles in that hospital. Lol
Im still so surprised that your day starts at 430 😳 so do your patients wake up at 500 as well for the physical exam?!
I’m thinking the same thing! I work in a UK hospital and the only doctors I see at that time are ones still on the night shift!
