Am I going to residency anytime soon? No. Did I still watch this video in its entirety? DUH!! You’re doing amazing Rachel!! I love watching your journey 🥹🩷

I actually stopped wearing my Apple Watch during residency and my anxiety got so much better!

The green color scrubs look cute on you!

Oh thank you!

Hi Dr.Rachel! Hope you doing great Today I graduated from medical school ranking number 1 on my batch. It was definitely mentally and emotionally draining journey, I grew up to become a very different version of myself “in a good ways” med school was definitely more than knowledge, it made me thrive as a person. You and me started med school at the same year, yet it took me 5 years to graduate unlike you due to curriculum difference from the US. So all the way from the beginning till today you been a big part of my journey, seeing someone going through same struggles I go through helped me a lot to push through, you open up w us when you talk about difficulties you go through during studying or working or anything related to medicine and I’m telling you that really help us and i appreciate it. Now I’m looking forward for the future and ofc your vids will be a strong motivation so keep it up and I pray you achieve success.

You’re glowing in the thumbnail!! So beautiful!!

Oh thank you!

Thank you for sharing these with us!!!!! We hope you'll stay healthy and have more rest soon!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

I’m starting O&G training in the UK this year and I love watching your videos!! Really interesting to see what American residency is like within O&G. It’s been my dream career since the beginning of med school and I’d been living it vicariously through you (until now!) 😊

Helpful as always! thank you so much doc :D

I'm obsessed with those pens because of you! Having a good pen is so important lol

Personally recommend something with urea in it for hand lotion if your skin is super dry! My hands were okay prior to rotations but they eventually got so dry that they would turn red after using hand sanitizers from the alcohol drying it out so my preceptor was like girl you need something with urea in your lotion 😂

Incoming PGY 1 here - thank you so much for this video and all your content!!! ❤❤❤

What you need: a will to live 😂😅

love those colour scrubs on you!

I bought Jaanuu scrubs bc of you! They're so comfy!

Love this video-so helpful! I have heard that the calzuro brand supports anti-choice organizations and that makes me not want to buy those shoes. Everything else will be added to my shopping list for sure!

Perfect timing as I frantically browse Amazon, haha!

Personal pharmacy in your backpack is a must 😂 I set my bag down and you can hear it’s full of pills

Crocs makes clogs that are a great cheaper alternative to Danskos!! As someone who only needs clogs on some rotations those are a good option!

I'm starting clinical next week - would you recommend the same list for clinical rotations?

Well u look great!!!! Keep it up

Any recommendations for obgyn books for residents ? Atlas of gynaecological surgeries ?

Hello SUNSHINE...Thank you for all you do 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Can you post a makeup tutorial?

Please I'm waiting for a new video of daily working , whatever I love you

I’ve been looking at Calpak for a few months now for a new residency bag - would you definitely recommend a backpack over a tote? Part of me wants a tote but I’m thinking the backpack would be easier

I keep buying pens like that because they’re so cute and smooth but this is my second pack where the ink started skipping after a few days 😢 Do you have this problem as well?

@RachelSouthard

I noticed that with a few but I found that if you try writing on other surfaces, the ink will flow again and be fixed!

​@@spiderbite9490 yes even 32 hours or more. In many surgery specialties you can easily work 32 hours in a row for one shift. If you make a mistake because you are tired you will still get blamed and shamed for being weak or inefficient

Crocs are ugly, but easy on your feet for long periods of standing.

Did you use an iPad at all during residency?

So outside of a blue text bubble🤷, we are not missing out. Also, this isn't meant to be too serious. I'm sure both sides know deep down that both phones are perfectly capable of performing the necessary functions.

omg the point about iphones lmaooo. i was an android girly all my life and switched to an iphone like a year ago and honestly life changing -- could never go back.

Anytime i get an iphone, it somehow gets destroyed. 😂😭 i cannot be trusted with an iphone 😂😂
