Yahooooo! This week was AWESOME. Lots of fun OBGYN shenanigans including a 24hr shift. I got my first on-call room, which was such a fun experience! I didn't have to sleep in a chair over night (quite delightful). Also, answered some of your guys' burning questions! :D

OMG SO EXCITINGGGG bro im so happy for uuuu
Seeing how passionate you are for the medical field gives me a lot of hope for our future doctors. I’m not a medical professional myself, by I read/hear about medical professionals leaving the field in waves because of the pandemic. I’m glad to see that there are people like you and your medical community who are still passionate about the medical field. Thank you!
I definitely know that OBGYN is not for me but I could listen to you talk about it for hours. You’re so genuine when you talk about it and I swear there’s a twinkle in your eye every time you do. I hope whatever I choose in the future will make me feel the same way obgyn does for you. I can’t wait to see you become an official obgyn doctor in the future
WAH! This makes me so happy. I’m so happy you feel my energy through the screen 💕
I’m currently on my OBGYN posting too and we got to see 2 c-sections and an hysterectomy this week. I cant stop reimagining that moment when the doc got the baby out and showed her to her mom and she smiled. Such a precious moment. You’re going to be such a great OBGYN Rachel! LOVE YOU❤️
The most precious moments 🥲💕
Which college india?
I resonated when you said, "I get to do this for the rest of my life!" I cannot wait to do the same!!
The perfect break from studying for the MCAT 💜 you remind me of why I’m working so hard. I can’t wait until I can relate to these experiences ☺️
I'm heading to med school this fall!! I read a lot on reddit from r/residency and r/medicalschool as well as twitter-there's a bunch of awesome and invaluable information there that really gives a good preface to what's to come. But I often find myself feeling scared about med school because all I hear is how brutal and difficult it is. I completely understand that those people are venting and it's extremely valuable to hear that perspective but I will say it is refreshing watching your videos. You give a well-rounded perspective and ease my fears. Obviously, you never shy away from showing the hard parts but you also always show the rewarding and awesome parts. Makes me super excited to go down this path and eases my fears of the "doom and gloom" of medical training. Thank you, Rachel!!!!
Watching how thankful you are to be in medicine is my weekly reminder of why I went into medicine too. I'm a PA and just started in emergency medicine and I'm finally where I wanted to be after the last 2.5yrs of being less than happy with my hospitalist job. Some days are incredibly rough in ED, but there are moments when I see how I've positively effected someone's life that I remember why I love it. I aspire to bring your level of gratitude into my daily life. Thank you for spreading the joy!
Since I was very young I would often tell everyone I wanted to be an OBGYN. But as I grew older I labelled myself not to be smart enough for medicine. Ended up studying criminology (what a contrast, I know lol) and every science related class or something like forensics just shows me how wrong I was about myself. And anyways... I've been watching you for a while and your excitement with what you're doing quite literally brings me to tears every time, just like I freaking cry whenever I watch any childbirth video. I'm glad you found your calling and I'm happy for you!
You have true passion ,combined with intelligence and dedication!
You're truly such an amazing med student / future doc !
It’s good for me to see the new docs life! I will be more compassionate! So happy to find your channel!!
Rachel, I just wanted to say that as someone who is not even considering becoming a doctor (nothing against it, just not my thing), I have continued to watch your videos for the past two years or so. They always make me smile and your work ethic and PASSION for what you do is so incredibly inspiring. I appreciate you more than you know :)
Awh thank you so much! That means a lot to me🙂
It makes me feel really better when you're happily talking about your experiences and innocently trying to explain us what's going on !! Lots of good vibes 😇💕
I love to see how much you thrive on OB/GYN!! I can’t believe I’ve been watching you since your first week of med school blog and seeing you here now ❤️
My goodness! You’ve been with me forever! Thank you for your support 💕
First, keep it up Judith, you can do it! 💙 Second, great vlog! I would be surprised if your face doesn’t ache from all that smiling! I am so happy for you. I recall my own daughter’s birth and a medical student being present. She was so nice and just as excited as you. Her happiness was infectious. She told me that day that her next item on the bucket list was delivering twins. 🤣 It’s years later and it’s crazy to think that young medical student is now a doctor and has no doubt delivered hundreds of babies. What a rewarding occupation!
Love this longer vlog!
Loved this video! Keep up the great work!
Love how you share what you've learned in these!
Eating fast is both my greatest shame but also my most valuable asset. Blessing and a curse. Glad someone understands the struggle!
😂😂 yess! someone who can relate!
Your videos are the best, I love them!
Ahh I love when you post, the perfect motivation I need and thank you for always being consistent. Lots of love 💕
This would be a nice break from studying. Been up since 5am, hitting the books and consuming coffee. Can't wait! Love you Rachel, keep up the good work. ❤️
Wooo! Get it girl! Love u
Keep making long vlogs like this one, it’s always so nice to listen to you ❤️

It’s so evident that OBGYN is really your passion✨
Ugh you just give me so much motivation to keep going through premed. Everytime I feel myself burning out I watch one of your videos and it helps me so much!!!
So glad you got to deliver again!! And my favorite part is always the nice asmr montage of your keurig😜 this was such a great vlog

I’m a pre dental student but I love watching your videos! Your passion for OBGYN is very clear and your happiness makes me so happy!! You got me smiling every time you’re explaining how much you love OBGYN. You got this!
I love these long vlogs! Also, youre making me even more excited to work in OBGYN one day :P
I love your videos, i am a premed student myself and your videos definitely help give me hope for medical school, you definitely seem to keep it real on how you feel and the stresses of it. Thank you so much for making these videos
Love this vlog! You look so happy!! I definitely think that's where you belong 💕💕
This was such an awesome vid!
Your enthusiasm and excitement are so sweet and exciting! I love being hands-on and I'm a little jealous I didn't get to do as much as you on my L&D rotation, haha, but I'm so glad you've had such an amazing time. Seeing your passion for this field is so inspiring; I really cannot wait to rotate on the specialties I'm really passionate about after seeing this.
I've loved watching you rotate. My basic science years have been so so hard. Starting clinical years are my light at the end of the tunnel.
I admire your attitude and hard work! You inspire me so freaking much. I have been very sick the past few days, very unmotivated and zombie mode but I am finally feeling better and needed a little inspiration to kick my ass into gear and when I am feeling like this I always come to watch one of your videos and it reminds me of what WE are working towards. Keep up the good work future Doc! I am just a few years behind ya
Amazing vlog!! Currently studying for MCAT retake while recovering from hip surgery, so I'm really taking your outro to heart. Love you :)
Missed you so much sis ❤️
❤️⏰ I love all your blogs, I feel like I’m your friend!
this was one of your best vlogs! Its so encouraging to see how happy medicine/obgyn makes you. I'm a junior in undergrad pre-pa student interested in obgyn and have been feeling really discourged lately (mostly from ochem 🙃) but your vlogs help remind me of why i'm doing this. thank you and keep up your amazing work!
You really do inspire me so much. I’ve been watching your channel for the last few years and now I’m in my last year in high school, and I can’t wait to go to uni and apply to medical school. Thank you so much and I really do appreciate you. And I think you’ll be an amazing doctor.🥺💖
All the way from the Middle East Oman 🇴🇲
you are so passionate and empathetic! you will make a wonderful OBGYN!
queen, i can't even describe how much i love your videos. I'm going to be a freshman in college next year and am on a pre med track. your videos make me so excited for all of the things i have coming in my future!!!
I love how excited you get to deliver babies. Us girls could always use good OBGYN’s!
I’m a little behind but this video makes me so happy and excited to see your residency videos!
I LOVED this vlog omg!! I feel like I’m your close friend. I’m a pre-med student and I also love ob-gyn and seeing your journey through med school is so motivating and inspiring.
Hey i am a medical student and you just inspire me a lot so thank you. Wish you all the best❤️
Literally the only UA-cam videos I watch is yours. (Except for medicine education videos of course) So excited for you future!❤️
Im so behind in studies and my routine is messed up rn but im really glad your videos inspire me to get moving again and make it happen🤍
Love your videos so much!!! You motivate me to continue working hard, thank you.🦋
You’re awesome! Your passion brings me to tears pretty much every time you talk about OBGYN 🥺❤️ I’ve finally committed to a career in healthcare and I’m a volunteer in the ED right now.. with some prerequisite courses between me & the application process but I want it so badly.. thanks for the motivation 🥺
Awww so nice to see your broadcasts - I didn’t know you existed! I kinda had a down weekend with not feeling well so I kinda went through medical school with you this week- binge watching 😂😂- congrats! Isn’t medicine so awesome ! I’ve been on the teaching end of it for a while and now semi retired! But almost 40 yrs- I was in it- I love your attitude and passion! Looking forward to watching more 🌻
Hey Rachel , I just wanted to say that I learned a lot from your videos and you made me push harder to get through med school. So just wanted to say thanks ❤
I love seeing your excitement! I had a c section 2 days ago and a resident was a huge part of my surgery. I am hopeful that she was as excited and passionate as you. I met her right before they wheeled me into OR and she was so personable and I could hear my OB telling her she did really well as they finished up.
It makes me so happy to see you happy and makes me look forward to applying to medical school soon! Also, for all your girl fans, if you still do them (and if you have time) could you film maybe a UA-cam short on how you do your lashes and what glue and lashes you use! I know you did them in the past and it prob saves so much time getting ready! Love your videos!
I have been following you since 2020 and have been so happy to watch you grow as a human and a (future) doctor, I am sure you will make an amazing OBGYN, Love, A (future) midwife :)
I really love your videos it just has its own vibe -- i watch lots of YT vlogs but i really like your style and i wish you could upload more often but i know you are sooo busy
I'm in quarantine with Covid at school. I'm a sophomore pre med and was really not in the mood to do homework/study. You always remind me of what I want my future to be and then I start working hard again :)
Loved this! ❤️
You are such inspiration to me , thank u and love u so much ❤️
⏰⏰⏰ love your vlogs Rachel, especially the OB GYN ones!! Always look forward to them!! ❤️❤️

Always love watching your vlogs Rachel. Your energy and passion for the medical profession is contagious. I look to your videos as inspiration for posting my own videos. 😊

A lot of you are really liking this one! Curious to know why you liked it more or how it was different!💕

OUUUU!
Seeing you follow your passion is SO contagious!! I am starting my journey in peds as a new grad nurse and I can seriously relate to your excitement and love for the OBGYN field! Love you Rachel!! 💞
💕💕💕🥳 I love u
Rachel, I've been watching you since your 1st day of your 1st year of medical school, congratulations on having come so far and good luck on Step/COMLEX 2! Some of your most helpful videos for me have been the ones where you explained your workflow for a particular year and commented about the resources you found the most helpful during that year. I would LOVE it if you would do one for your workflow during rotations 3rd year (how many videos you watched, anki cards, questions for COMATS Level 2 prep, etc.) and the resources you found the most useful for each rotation. I'll be starting my clinical rotations in 3 months and I can't wait!
Thank you! I will be sure to do that soon!
I remember how overwhelmed you were by everything way back in your 1st week of med school video! Look at how much you have accomplished since then 👏👏👏
Omg yesss! My have I grown!
Been following you since your first year and look forward to your videos every week. I’m seriously considering starting a UA-cam channel because I start medical school this year! Your videos are so helpful and give such great insight to life as a med student. Would love to help others like you have helped me! ❤️ Keep being amazing girl!
Do it!!!
my favorite med student! it's so amazing to see your excitement for the field & let it excite me too! :) have a great day!
Thank you, Ella :) You're a top commenter on my channel!
Everytime I see Rachel eat the same meal for dinner it makes me feel so much better because I literally do the same thing...being a medical student is alot already 😂 as long as I have eaten it's all good.
Hahahah it’s allllll good. 👌🏼 we do our best
Can I just say that YOU are AWESOME! 😊
NO U!
I loved this vlog, thank you 😊
Starting my clerkships next year!!! Cant wait for OB/GYN!!!
Seeing your passion and growth in this field is so rad. I have visions of you matching somewhere dreamy to train as an Ob/Gyn and am honestly so excited for you (and for all of us who get to follow along haha). Your joy is infectious :).
I’m sick with COVID right now and been watching your videos and they’re so calming
Feel better!
Hi beautiful! I never comment, but I always watch your videos and I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for you and your channel. The excitement and radiance you have for medicine is just so refreshing and beautiful. Your kindness, personality and hard work inspire me. The field needs more people like you with a genuine love and desire for medicine! You are going to make such an amazing doctor💌
My heart is exploding. Thank you love💕

I think this is really the spirit we need as being doctors one day and I would love to have such a heartwarming, inspiring colleague as you one day hihi!! thanks for this vlog, it was so much fun to watch! :)
