    I love the genuine joy and happiness that you’re having right now. It often seems easy to find yourself in a career later to realize you’re unhappy and doing something that you weren’t truly meant to do. It’s encouraging to see and be reminded how you should feel when you’re doing something that you really enjoy doing. Thank you for sharing it with us! ✍️

  • @Angels-3xist
    @Angels-3xist 2 роки тому +3

    You are working so hard and adjusting so well to the intensity of your work. I can’t imagine what it’s like to bring life and love into the world like you’re doing or to witness it. It does sound really pure and beautiful. Catharsis of those moments must make everything and anything worth it. As far as the exhaustion I think it’s like a runners high sort of. When we get pumped and motivated we can put in way more energy than we realize. I think everyone knows it’s important to work towards balance but your doctor helping you to fly a little bit probably put alot of adrenaline (or whatever) in you and that’s going to come with a crash, but she must be a good teacher because it’s moments like that which will help you soar. The sky is really beautiful out by you, where I used to live it would get so red that the inside of my house would glow like a Chinese lantern. Anyway, it’s very sweet that your mom cooks for you. People out there should remember to show their mom some love. Do you have any idea what she’s probably done for you? Also think it’s a good habit that you practice stitching not just for your job but as a destressor. It’s a little bit like celtic art or braiding or crocheting. Much love to you. Always inspiring and uplifting.

    I delivered my son at a canadian teaching hospital and I was amazed by the care I received from residents and students! i'm excited to deliver my second baby at the same hospital with the same amazing team! The stitching my resident did was a ''work of art'' according to the ob/gyn and i healed really well, the episiotomy and recovery weren't as bad as I had imagined. My family doctor also is a resident and I wouldn't have it any other way. Passionate residents are the most well-versed and dedicated!

    During my internship at a periphery tertiary hospital...I had a case of obstructive labor in a extremely bad stormy night....and found out it was a macrosomia with shoulder dystocia...usually seniors handle this type of complicated case ...but it was emergency .and crowing was present ..only two doctors including I was available....and I had performed a cleidotomy on that night .....OB/GYN is not my passion...but I really appreciate my colleague who are aspiring to be a one of the best.definitely one of the best feeling when you are the medium by which this type procedure is done.Best of luck Dr Rachel .

    Thank you for sharing your stories. I love your spirit and perspective 💕 I had my little one in April 2020 and was so scared because it was the height of the pandemic and they were restricting spouses at the time. In retrospect my labor was quite quick, but when it came time to push the baby was not positioned great so they tried to use the suction tool but 2 tries and no luck, then my little ones heart rate started to drop and the team of doctors immediately decided to do a C-section. I was so upset and scared since my OB was not on the rotation schedule; they limited the doctors in the hospital due to the pandemic. But I was so lucky because I had a team of Angels and I can't thank them enough for taking care of me and little boy. I'm still pretty traumatized from the whole experience but the clear positive standout was the love and care I received under those crazy conditions. When I watch your video and the excitement and love I your voice, I'm just so grateful that you are joining the team of amazing doctors out there that are bringing little ones into the world. Thank you so much for you passion and grace ❤️🥰❤️

    I am so freaking proud of you! Yes! I am so happy other doctors are complementing you because you deserve it, I can see your passion through the screen and ....I got emotional, so you are officially my child because I cry when you do well in something omg:)
