    People are so exaggerated. You’re not bipolar! Medical school is hard and you’re a human reacting to it in a normal way. I appreciate that you’re vulnerable and that you share your story with us. It motivates me to push through when I’m feeling down. Keep working hard Rachel! You got this

      exactly what I was thinking ! We love you & appreciate the fact that you don’t hide away the reality of going into medical school (goods & badd )

      Yes, it's utterly ridiculous. Most boring, small-minded people can't handle those of us that are open, vulnerable and complex. I encounter it literally all of the time. Keep going, Rachel! Love you

      Rachel Puentes System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
      1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
      2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
      3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
      4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
      5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
      6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
      7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
      8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
      9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
      10, Always try to give more than you take.
      Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
      🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
      People are controlled by system why?
      The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
      Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
      😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

    Hi Rachel! As a licensed psychologist, I don't think you have bipolar disorder lol. On a more serious note, stressing during professional school is completely normal. Your videos remind me of when I was earning my PhD. You will get through this and someday will look back on this time in your life very fondly. I went through the Match for psychology and you will end up where you're meant to be :) good luck and continue to do well!

    Rachel, I'm in first year of medical school and honestly I am always stressed. Even when I pass tests, I know I have so much more coming up and I don't know if I remember half the things I was tested on the previous day. With my frequent crying sessions etc I can relate to you one hundred percent. You are NOT bipolar. In fact, you always motivate me to keep going.
    With the amount of information we are supposed to memorize and retain, stress is inevitable. But we will become good doctors one day so let's look at the light at the end of the tunnel!

    The pass/fail system went into place in nursing several years ago. Of course, I had to do it old style and the scores meant everything. I will say the schools with a lower pass rate had to step it up. There were huge numbers trying to get into the top schools while seats sat empty in others. Sad really. Look at the crisis nation wide with a shortage of nurses. Also I wanted to say thanks for recommending Soylent. Battling a tumor and not every day is a good tummy day but I'm getting good protein from this amazing drink. Hang in there ur so close to the first year finish line. How awesome that will be. And thanks for sharing everything. Emotions and all. That takes courage and I agree. Ur emotions will make u a great doctor.

      Rachel Southard System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
      1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
      2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
      3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
      4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
      5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
      6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
      7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
      8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
      9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
      10, Always try to give more than you take.
      Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
      🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
      People are controlled by system why?
      The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
      Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
      😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

Lol I am in an accelerated, 3 year PharmD program and I find myself having emotional reactions to my school stress weekly. Before finding your channel, it started to make me question if I was “cut-out” to be a pharmacist and push through. I know it’s so cheesy to lay this all out on a comment, but I just wanted to let you know the positive impact you have, and I hope skeptical people never discourage you from showing your vulnerable moments.

    If you're going to be a physician you have to go beyond being a premed gunner test taker. Premeds/1st years cling to tests to their detriment, because it's what they know how to do. They spent college ignoring learning the knowledge and just mastering what will be on the test. College is history. Medical school is designed to mold you into becoming a physician, so let them do their job and trust the process. Your job is to be molded. Every day in your car say to yourself "OK SCHOOL MOLD ME!" and it will come to pass. If you want to be great, be aggressive in allowing yourself to be molded. Be the first to learn, not the last. Be the one who steps up. The patient encounter is a case in point. It went fine. It will go fine 95% of the time and 100% of the time you will learn from your success and mistakes. They won't let you make any mistakes that matter, but the knowledge you gain from failing is invaluable to your success. You have to learn what you are good at and what needs to be improved. Clinic instructors don't give a crap about "liking you" or "hating you" they care first about their patients and second about you becoming a mature physician capable of managing patients in an expert way. Be smart, be prepared, be aggressive in acquiring knowledge, work on being mature in your approach to patients, be useful. If all you do is worry about passing tests they will hate you. Be who you actually are, not some phony caricature of who you think you need to be. Dare to be average and seek to improve rather than pretending to be "best" when in fact you're clueless. They let you in, it is NOT to their advantage to kick you out. It is to their advantage to mold you into someone capable of attaining greatness since that is their mission and they are dead serious about their mission. That is their vision for you, make it your vision for yourself. I don't think there is anything wrong with you regarding your mental health. You seem perfectly normal to me. Med school is at once stressful and amazingly rewarding. Residency even more so. You have 4 years to learn everything, not one year, and everything important will be repeated 5 times or more during the course of the 4 years. Above all have a blast and don't buy into being a weenie, angsting out with the rest of the angsters. Angsting is a waste of time.

      @@somyasaxena412 Study to possess the knowledge, not to just pass the test. There is inherent joy in being smart and inherent stress in pretending to be smart. When your school selected you they knew who they were getting, and they selected you anyway, so the process of "getting in" is over and the process of becoming is underway. Different processes.

    I’ve honestly been stressing about the switch despite still being a premed student given the implications it has on matching into residency, but what you and Austin said made me a little less nervous about matching. 😅

    Happy Valentine's day!!! Honestly, I don't think it's going to change much. People will just use Step2CK to screen applicants. If I have to be screened by either Step 1 or CK, rather be screened out by CK. I'm personally glad that they changed it. Remembering whether a virus is an icosahedral shouldn't determine if you can go into Ortho. I'd rather take an ortho person who does well clinically and did research.

    • @mattf8779
      @mattf8779 4 года назад +1

      The issue is that step 2 is taking so late in a med students career that by the time you have taking it you are already knowing what specialty you want to go into. Also Step 2 before was an opportunity for a student who scored less then ideal on their step 1 to show that they improved and now that 2nd chance is gone. Step 1 was a horrible judge on how well someone will be a doctor but they did this change without a plan to replace it, which makes this a really bad move.

      @funsize198 4 года назад +1

      @@mattf8779 I agree with you on that. I think schools will now have to change their curriculum and try to get into clinic much faster. Many schools are already 12-18 months preclinic anyway. I think eventually all schools will move that way. But you're right. CK is taken so late that you really only have 1 chance to show out. I guess away rotations become important now

    Step 1 was mostly basic science, Step 2 was mostly clinical. Schools and training programs will always find ways to distill you down to some number or grade no matter what. Just be happy that soon it will be Step 2, which by far covers much more important material.

    😬 I spoke to an adcom I know who is on the board and he said they haven’t ironed out the details entirely but there is a chance that even if you took the test prior to Jan 2022 you will have a numerical score but it will be reported to programs as pass/fail if you apply after Jan 2022

    Step 1 was never created to be used as such a high-stakes consequential tool for residency, but of course it became one. I happy for future med students who will benefit from this change. I do hope that the other metrics that will become more salient will not reinforce many biases present in med school eval tools already though!

    Really I believe being emotionally intelligent is a great trait it means you care. I’m nowhere near med school yet. Haven’t taken any of my science pre-med classes chem,phys, bio. And decided to take human physiology to see if I can handle the sciences just for fun this semester . I’m two weeks in and I’m feeling so many emotions wish I took an intro to chem before this class got a 5 out 10 on first quiz first f I got in college but am pushing through because I know I can come back from that and also this is a great learning experience but also great knowledge to have for my goal!

    Hey Rachel! I'm interested in how grades are calculated in your classes and what the differences are between the classes you are taking. I know you don't share your personal scores on tests, etc, so please don't think I'm trying to pry into your own scores. Curious as to if you have papers/homework or if you only have exams. Thanks!!
