    Can you do case study videos? Like talk about an interesting case you had and then go into the pathology/treatment? That’d be so cool and educational!!

      Hi Rachel, thank you for being an inspiration!
      Could you also talk about your study plan/time management plan - like how you break up your day especially with your hectic schedule? That would be awesome 😊😊

I wanted to stay home, lay down with my heating pad all day and take my narcotic but didn’t want to be stuck making up my weekend. So, here I am at work..on break watching your video. ❤.

    Video Idea: a little segment of quizzing Patrick on medical (obgyn) things! maybe some terms or tools. I know going home and explaining vet things to my boyfriend I dont realize how little he knows, and what has become so normal to me! im there having to dumb down what anesthesia does, and what the endotracheal tube actually does

    Dear Rachel, it seems to me like you're in some kind of elite seal training school where stress, trauma and split second decisions are the order of the day. As an empathic human being you are certainly suffering as much as anyone can and I can feel it in your videos. May I recommend something that soothes you to fall asleep to, I'm not kidding I sleep to Downton Abbey every night otherwise I can't fall asleep there's something about this program that comforts me and sends me aloft at the mere auditory presence. I agree that no one could have predicted these insane hours that most people couldn't endure for 24 hours let alone for days on end but it seems in the medical profession they expect this of you and I don't know why. All I know is you were meant to be a doctor and no matter the amount of barriers you face you will overcome this, you are strong enough and before you know it you will be done with your residency. I wish I could take it all away but these are the times when you learn the most and somewhere down the road you will be thankful for such hard times because they made you the best doctor you could be. Sending so much love and positive inspiration.

    Dr. Southard could you help me understand the patients of the babies you deliver? Do they have an OB that they have seen? I was just thinking of my two deliveries and my OB was there for both so Id be interested to know if these patients don't have an OB theyve been working with or how they come into your care. Your videos are great!

I am an introvert and I tend to be shy which can make talking to people very difficult for me.. I might come off as rude which is not my intention I just don't know how to deal with people 😂so tips on how to be friendly with patients as an introvert will be apreciated

  • @AM.000
    @AM.000 Před 5 měsíci

    Can't sleep long? You might want to try some sort supplements or medication. I find 1st gen antihistamines work ok. Htp-5 & L-theanine. Some like melatonin. CBN. If its related to stress or anxiety, benzos or certain antidepressants might help. You do need to be careful if you are getting a racing heart rate or irregular heat rate if you are already in significant acute or chronic sleep debt (think cortisol). Be careful with cardio exercising if you are getting heart related symptoms from sleep deprivation.

  • @KhaldorDraigo
    @KhaldorDraigo Před 5 měsíci +3

    I am a dentist working just out of residency and struggle with anxious feelings going to work and after leaving. Can’t seem to keep anxious thoughts at work after ending the day and tend to bring home a lot of negative feelings - stress about patients returning with complaints, problems, unhappy etc. Struggle with being confident as my skill set grows. Seems like everyday is a challenge. Wondering your thoughts and if you feel this way too. Love your videos!

  • @knowledgeckr786
    @knowledgeckr786 Před 4 měsíci

    Dr Rachel, although you are a doctor but I think when you think too much about sleep deprivation due to night shifts, it causes you more psychological damage than actual one. Because we are adding further critical load by keep reminding. Regards

  • @singingpuffin
    @singingpuffin Před 5 měsíci +1

    Much admiration for the hard work that you do, must be incredibly demanding and especially on inadequate sleep.
    It does trouble me hearing the approach to speeding up labour, breaking the amniotic sac. I had a very negative experience from having my water broken just to speed things up, causing premature pushing, having an unwanted epidural, and trauma. I wish no one had rushed me - birth takes its own time unless there is a problem.

    • @RachelSouthard
      @RachelSouthard  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you!
      I’m sorry you had a negative experience. Active management of labor is not a bad thing. And we always ask our patients for permission prior to doing things like an amniotomy.

  • @reemchamseddine2204
    @reemchamseddine2204 Před 5 měsíci

    As a fellow obgyn resident who works night floats, I recommend that you take melatonin in the morning when you come home from work so you can get 6-7 hours of sleep during the day before you go back to the hospital. I also recommend keeping the same schedule on the weekend/night off so stay up all night to do something fun/chill at home and sleep in the AM even on your day off.
