it's absolutely absurd how much residents are overworked (and not to mention severely underpaid). I'm glad you got a little dose of joy and rest with Patrick! Seeing you two smiling and happy is always such a wonderful treat!
Watching these videos makes me realize that I’m not sure medicine is right for me. But you keep going and keep pushing through! I’m rooting for you always! ❤
The doubt is real (for me manly because of my faculty way of doing things) and it is not easy to manage! You got this - if not in medicine, somewhere else, but you're gonna nail it !
@@celialusa9519what a kind comment
It’s hard, very hard. Mentally it will push you like you’ve never been pushed before. I love that Rachel has been so honest. I would not have picked this for me either but it’s too late and I’m here.
If you are looking for other inspiring content check out check out daisy Sanchez, MD. She is honest about how hard it is and she stays so positive! She also comes home and takes care of her young child. I am not sure how she does it!!
RUN. Run far far away and never look back
Rachael, I am utterly stunned at what you are going through. This July will be 38 years that I began my internship year in Family Medicine and I remember how hard those years were (36 hrs straight etc…) 3 weeks straight with only one day off is draconian. I thought that kind of stuff had been outlawed. What a horrible and cruel process to train our new health care providers. I am so sorry that our health care training system is still such a mess. It is no wonder why so many are leaving medicine altogether!! Hundreds of thousands dollars in debt to get abused in training and then get bullied by the greedy healthcare insurance industry when in practice😢
It should'nt be this way.. Why is no one taking action is Beyond me
@@afraaomar4682 unfortunately too many of our colleagues consider this a right of passage. Needs to start with program directors across country implementing change. The system currently is unhealthy for the learning resident and the patients they are caring for.
My PCP just left our practice due to wanting to give adequate patient care. She actually spent time. I went to her for depression and anxiety due to extreme grief, after my husband, my mother and my best friend all died within 18 months, She never rushed me and was so thorough. She also figured out and solved two medical issues I had been having for 15+ years, about which no other doctor even listened or tried to figure out. She kept getting scolded and warned for taking too long with patients, and finally she chose to leave rather than give rushed and incompetent care. So sad.
I really love when Rachel says a thought/feeling and then explains her reasoning. It’s so insightful to see how another brain works. I totally understood what she was saying about the pretzels/exercise. Awareness is our most helpful tool, and I thank her for being honest about that. I feel like I’m the only one with those kinds of thoughts and I’m now realizing more people than I know probably think the same way. Thanks for continuing to post these Rachel, we are your biggest internet fans 🎉
🥺 gee thank you. I really appreciate that. We’re all living more similar human experiencing than we think. It’s nice to know that.
Thank you for checking in with the moms. It makes a world of difference to moms. ❤
I’m in my nurse residency program & although it’s not anywhere near being a doctor or working 3 straight weeks in a row! I feel her pain tremendously, most days after work I cry, I cry in random places, like the nail salon bathroom, while in line at target, even at the gym 😂. Healthcare is draining & the transition from being in school to actual work is tough. The hours are long, you feel like you never have time & you’re constantly being challenged, some days are good at the hospital but many are exhausting& stressful. I love caring for people & I enjoy being an RN but the mental & physical toll it takes on our bodies needs to be discussed. Thank you Doctor Rachel, you have helped me so much in the past month with my mental health. Your videos are raw & they showcase how many feel at the beginning of their healthcare journey. Thank you 🤍God bless you 🙏🏻
Nursing ‘residency’ is a scam
What’s nurse residency? You mean your final placement?
@@MaryamPirzada A nursing residency program is a program that hospitals offer new graduates that combines classroom instruction specific to your nursing specialty with clinical experience under the supervision and guidance of a preceptor.
The way you light up when your partner comes literally made me cry. TOOOOOO precious
I'm no longer pursuing a degree in medicine, but your videos were always a source of inspo for me. Medicine just takes too much out of you and I'm not the person willing to make those sacrifices, but I'm happy there are people who do. For my own sanity and well being I couldn't follow through.
Just curious what did you end up pursuing instead??
I just realized this about myself about to go into vet med. My body and mental health just can’t do it. Props to the people who do it and do it well!
The difference in your voice and face when Patrick entered the video 🥰 happy you got the day off with someone you love! 💐
No need to ever be ashamed! Most people have experienced disordered eating at some point (I’m not talking about EDs). Life is messy and it affects our eating pattern. Thank you for trusting us to share that information.
Thank you♥️
Are there any instances when you work such long hours back to back and you have to tell your attending like "hey I'm in no condition at all to operate" or something similiar without being penalized?
3 weeks straight is where accidents happen..... lack of care for patients... lack of concentration... its not ok for patients and its not ok for the doctors
As someone who would die to become a doctor and possibly obgyn, I already know one of my fav parts would be actually letting the patient breathe for two seconds and have the space to share what they are actually going through!!
Just the title of this video has me ready to cry. I’m a second year med student and my mental health is just plummeting because of the pressure to study constantly and succeed always & it doesn’t feel like things ever really get better. 😭
It does get better.❤️Hang in there.😀
Don't forget to be kind to yourself, too.
Rachel I am so proud of you!!!
Enjoy every moment off! You got this!
Medicine in general is so exhausting. I’m a PA in derm, I have patients I get close to over time and delivering them bad news is so hard. Thank you for opening the public’s eyes about how hard this career is. It’s not about scrubs, cute hairstyles and nails. There’s so much emotional baggage that we deal with always.
I’m sorry but a PA saying derm is hard is so absurd (or maybe not, since PAs don’t have to training anywhere close to an actual physician). Dermatology is comparatively one of the least stressful specialities in the field of medicine with no major emergencies or calls. Plus actual doctors have way more training and maybe that’s why as a PA where you can practically switch specialities anytime finds it “hard” due to lack of adequate training but still getting to play doctor. It’s not your fault. Unfortunately the system is such that they came up with PA school, and with that option with easy way out, less training, still getting great pay and getting to play doctor, who wouldn’t take it right? Coming to dressing cute, most PAs dress better than doctors because they happen to have good amount of spare time on hand, while doctors are working hard around the clock in scrubs, no time for any of that.
@ coolscience622 Who hurt you?
@@coolscience622 are you ok?
@@coolscience622PA is still tough regardless if they can easily switch specialties or not. Show love not hate.
@@christinafinn2714seriously. What a rude comment
Love the days you upload on UA-cam.😍🥰
I’m rooting for you. ❤ One day closer!
You got this and you are so strong! Your videos always inspire me when i feel like work is too hard. Those flowers were absolutely beautiful and you deserve them so muuch!!! 😍😍
as an M1-i'm rooting for you!! you are so strong and inspiring & please always take care of yourself FIRSTT
Don't ever apologize for how you're feeling it is not easy but you got this ❤️
Rachel I cry in almost every video, your such an inspiration and you motivate me so much to workout, I know sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes I feel like just giving up but honestly you make me get up and keep going sending so much love and 🥰 ❤ ❤
So crazy not seeing you study when you come back home! So cool to follow you since your med school acceptance!
You are so real and amazing, don’t ever apologize for your emotions!! It’s what makes you so special and such an incredible role model ❤ the smile on your face talking about Patrick and the flowers is the sweetest thing 🥹
Literally started crying when u spoke of receiving flowers. You have such an amazing partner :,)🥺 love your vids so much!
Unbelievable the amount you have to work. My heart goes out to yoi Rachel. Love you always
I’m actually a dietitian and I love your videos! Even tho I’m not a medical student/resident your videos still inspire me ♥️
Thank you so much for your raw and unfiltered honesty. I am a 17 year old who hopes to become an EM doctor (one day!). I have watched your videos for years and I cannot put into words how inspirational and encouraging your videos are for me. THANK YOU for what you do and sharing it to inspire others 💗
Hi Rachel, you are such an inspiration from the beginning of my nursing career/ school. I wish I could give back to you. May God bless you 🙏 Sending prayers up for you to heaven 🤍
I love your videos so much 🤌🏼💐 You are an amazing doctor and so inspiring. Sending energy and strength to get you through nights! You’re doing amazing!! 🤩
Who can explain me why doctors have to work so many hours and without days off??? It's freaking crazy! Wishing you all the best! Please take care of yourself 💕
I’m going to be so happy for you when you finish residency
You’re doing a great job. You’ll find balance and reach a state of homeostasis in your life. It’s going to be ok. ❤
I hope the working 3 weeks straight was a one off and not going to be a regular thing because people cannot sustain that kind of work schedule. I really feel for you Rachel, I worked 3 weeks straight once and it almost did me in mentally, emotionally and physically. I had never been so drained in my life. I also hope that you have someone you can talk to like you do with your post-partum patients because you need to unload as well. Please take care of yourself and know that it's wonderful to see your beautiful smile when your boyfriend is around, you could light up the night sky. XO
This vlog is so timely! I just finished my 3wk stretch, and coming off Night Float this morning. Residency is hellish at times
And Post call days aren’t days off! Let make this clear haha! Hope you’re able to rest soon
every time I see this, I find it unbelievable how the heck it is allowed to work this amount with such little breaks
psych and women’s health rly do go hand in hand!!!! ty for all u do🤍
You are strong
I fight exhaustion and anxiety/depression daily :( But if I ignore the anger ( I so relate to your inner thoughts) and when I push...I feel so much better! Thank you for sharing your truth as always :)
Hey Rachel , could you make a video explaining your mindset on studying and working so hard? What made you work so hard every week, keep up with the weekly/ daily workload , embrace the Suck and not give up ? How did you deal with days where didn’t want to do anything but still got yourself to do it? Did you ever feel like everybody else was better then you and you had to work a lot harder than them ? If so how did you motivate yourself to keep working and believing that you were still capable of becoming a doctor . Love you❤
As a disabled medical student, medicine is extremely ableist. On one hand it is a privilege to be able to work three weeks straight. if you need to rest because you’re exhausted best to do that instead of gym x so important to listen to your body. Sometimes working out isn’t possible and that is okay too
This is not okay, I'm sorry. To see her be so tired like that. It's crazy residents have to work that much. 3 weeks straight? How is that even humane?? 24 hour shifts? And how long is residency, 5+ years??? Who can humanly do that.
Insane.
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎😎😎

Dr Southhard AKA( MY HERO) Mixes fitness, clinical wisdom, nutrition advice, patient interaction, education, and her happy relationship AKA her ( BB) and lastly her perfectly imperfect down to earth life, in a small bite sized easily digestible segment...so it's pretty obvious that she has perfected this platform. The only question remaining is which exit will she take the C.Yang exit or the M.Grey exit. No matter which one it is Dr.Southhard You deserve it Thank you for inspiring me and I can't wait to see the final season. I'm gonna lookout for the post it note above your bed that you and your BB sign bc your both 2 busy to go to the courthouse 😢😢😢 😅
This comment!!! You went above and beyond 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love this. Thank you. you’re so dang kind to me!!
The flowers 🥹
Take 30-60 min naps in the call rooms. Helps.
Random but your robe looks really cozy
Patrick got the Cybertruckkkk, I'm jealous. Can we have a tour for that monster truck
Hi Rachel , This is
In no way a criticism just an idea. I notice your apartment doesn’t have much color. You are too busy and tired to even think of that, let alone have time to shop for color. Maybe Amazon would be an easy way for you to add color. I think it would cheer you up to walk in your kitchen and see some color. Pleasant color can really help your mood. Take care with or without color. Haha
Do you feel that having a good routine makes it better or are you still always struggling?
you and p are so dang cute together !
The way that Patrick fills up your cup is very special 🥹 Thank you for sharing the difficult thoughts you sometimes experience with eating and exercise 💕 So appreciative of your vulnerability
Gurl you should be kind to yoursefl nd rest also residency is hard u’re doing obgyn lot of work send u luv Dr
Where did you get your robe from? My son is in his first year of DO school.
rachel why did you private some of your videos
Copyright issues. She’s fixing them
❤
It seems like you really do not enjoy labor and delivery… do you think you will continue to practice obstetrics after you complete residency?
I do enjoy it. But it’s a lot of work. Given the hours we work and poor salary, it’s pretty unreasonable.
She literally worked 3 weeks straight. Have you ever worked that many hours with no days off?
@@keishaabreu393 yes I have. I’m a PA and my first job out of school was with transplant/hepatology and I would work that many days in a row frequently…with several days of 24h call. It’s rough. I asked a genuine question. It’s ok if she didn’t like ob and wants to focus more on surgical gyn patients or do a fellowship following residency. It’s all ok!
How is this not an ACGME violation? I thought you needed an average of 1 day per 7 days off?
The wording of that is part of the problem. Many programs seem to use the “average of” piece of that statement to work someone a lot during some rotations and consider the average with adding in outpatient rotations that have less hours. In effect, it doesn’t change anything for the wellbeing of trainees as was intended. Many places are as grueling as they were 30 years ago.
@@hollyc4624 :/ that's so messed up
@@surabhi7419 Yes! It is totally messed up but I’ve seen it happen. It’s how the programs justify skirting the rules. Sad for those in training who think that the system is better than it was, and it really isn’t that different.
Oh my gosh, does your boyfriend work at Tesla!?
So no sleeping or do u mean no weekends? Cause one is SUBSTANTIALLY worse than the other, lol. We barely have any weekends in med school 😂
you’re so beautiful
inside and out 🫶🏽
I think little of the medical system. I’m on my fourth doctor or what. Two have died from illnesses related to stress. One I knew for a while the other not so long and the third one burnt out but she’s back there again recently but had another one sitting in for her whatever that is. That and the airline industry are the worst things for that I am contending from what I see. I moved out of healthcare to banking and wouldn’t go back myself but that’s my opinion. So in there I had to take some courses that sucked such as epidemiology (big yawn). Nurses here = always worked out. Getting sick from stress isn’t worth my lofe
Just curious, how do you challenge yourself? Or do you?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is kinda depressing ngl.
You’re telling me
good girl & doctor & good vitamin D3 # but don't drink excessive coffee since caffeine cause secretion of acid in stomach & prolong drinking cause acidity # 👍🇵🇰
pursuing a career in medicine I’ve always questioned myself for being too emotional.. I’ve wondered if that makes me weak and not a good fit for this… Seeing your videos and your honesty just gives me so much reassurance, it’s not a weakness to feel too much, I love how much you care it’s beautiful 🩷 i wish there were more doctors like you
!! this exactly
So dangerous for her patients.
I’d trust Rachel with my life & my baby’s life more than anyone.
