To be honest, stumbling on your channel was one of the serendipitous moments in my life. 😆
I’ve missed your videos! Would love it if you did a quick life update video! This was great!! Perspective and viewing things as opportunities has changed how I view life as well. My first job was on a floor that I really didn’t want to be on. But I gained so many skills, had leadership opportunities, and realized where I wanted to end up because I saw a huge gap in primary care patient education that I wanted to address. And all at a job I “hated”. Thanks for the video!
I'm a spiritual person and I have definitely had serendipitous moments during my education/training/career that has placed me where I am today in CRNA school. I know the blessings that have been given to me and I routinely take time to reflect on them and work to be the best anesthesia provider I can be for my patients.
As a current first year medical student, I could really relate to how the serendipitous moments really do make the biggest difference. I was accepted into med school via a joint BS/MD program that I found out by pure chance and applied to at the last minute during high school. Initially i was waitlisted and set to go into a regular 4 year university. However, just before the summer, I got off the waitlist and was accepted into the program. I hope to one day become an ophthalmologist and your videos have been so helpful and inspiring! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing, Dr. Tooley! It’s an excellent reminder that things will work out! I was waitlisted for my first choice of nurse practitioner programs but found out today that I’ve been accepted into my second choice! Even though it’s not what I had originally planned, I have faith that it will work out for the best!
I remember when you uploaded videos years ago. You have grown so much as physician and a person! Self aware and insightful!
One thing I would say is that always keep that personal touch of yours in the videos! I think that's what makes your videos so impressionable. Your personality seems so real and happy!
I do believe serendipity plays some role in our lives. It is up to us though, to grab those opportunities and just hammer through!
First one to comment! Good to see you, Andrea! As always, thanks for the insight. Stay blessed!
Beautifully said, thank you
This was so uplifting! Thanks!
I love this and I love serendipity!
I love you so much!!! Thanks for inspiring! I think one of the serendipitous moments in my life was bumping into your channel and learning from your hard-working personality!
Welcome to MN! I've been following you for so long and here you are in MN lol. Serendipity are actual blessings, God bless you!
Yeah, you are back! So glad to see you! :-) I’m so glad I found your videos two years ago, when I was in my first semester of med school and crying over chemistry and physics (we don’t have prerequisites or college in Germany, we start right into med school). You helped me through so many motivational crises and I probably would have failed a few exams if I had not been motivated to study because of you!
You also helped me live a healthier life and think about exercise and meal prep etc and again, I am so grateful that you showed me that it is possible to live healthy and be happy in those stressful periods of life.
I have loved your blog posts about cooking but can’t find them anymore, will they ever come back?
Thank you so much for this video!!
This video was so good! I have had a lot of serendipity in my life and medical career as well! Very relatable content.
I'm so happy you've made a new video! Your videos are always incredibly inspiring :)
Just wanted to thank you for your content since you've helped me get offers from my two favourite unis for medicine!! Next year I'm going to Edinburgh and I'm getting closer to achieving my dream, so thank you xx
Such a beautiful message thank u
I've really enjoyed that video! I belive in the same as you belive - life will guide you, you just have to stay eagle-eyed and courageous
You’re so inspirational Andrea. I don’t have words to describe what an absolute gem you are. Every reflection you made in this video is a proof of your gratitude, which a lot of us overlook. Good luck on your fellowship!
hi
😊good to hear from you after such long time.Inspiring as always
I think the fact that I watched this tonight was serendipitous...I needed this so so much! Thank you for posting this, best of luck with your career! Maybe consider motivational speaking in the future on top of everything else ;)
Awwww Ive missed your videos and your exuberant personality! xxxxx
Most of the women I knew in med school were definitely NOT like you. You are so "normal" and likeable, it's refreshing - not to mention shocking to my senses. Even the women doctors I know are literally nothing like you. Has anyone ever told you that? I'm sure others have commented on just how beautiful a person you are.
I've been waiting for a new video for so long!!
I'm a pre-med and have my entrance exams in a month from now which will determine if I go to med school or not and I'm going full swing right now. And the only thing that keeps propelling me forward is my belief that my hard work and passion towards this field will light my path and things will work out. There are so many factors for getting into med school and I'm trying my best to increase my chances. And I think what I'm doing is for a noble cause so I'll find my way through.
I love watching you're videos and have really used your philosophies and mottos throughout my pre-med years and I want to thank you for all the amazing advice you give. You are truly extraordinary!
thank you so much for such a wonderful encouragement to your UA-cam family.cant wait for more videos.
Could you interview other doctors of other fields so v could get a better view of the professional and life of a resident esp pediatrics.
Thanks
Hey andrea...I am in high school and one day hope that will get into medical school..your videos inspire me always to study more ...thx
I shouldn't be but it's so great that you have a fatigue policy. Where I work, we work anywhere between 24-72 hours at a stretch and you just motor through. You manage because there is no option. You are on duty 24*7 so if you haven't slept say, 50 hours, and one of your patients requires urgent surgery, you pick your butt up and wash in cuz there is no other choice. somehow i am capable of this feat. every week. i have no idea how.
It's snowing in MN right now.
