    As an L&D nurse, it made me smile when you complimented the nurses . ♥️♥️ I so wish I could work with you!! Seems like you’re doing great.

    The language makes sense to me that the mother "gives birth" and the medical professional "delivers them", to the mother.

    As someone who works in EMS on 24hr shifts for 14 years I can personally tell you that you get that burst of energy knowing you get to leave and go home. So happy to see your training and knowledge come full circle. Enjoy the journey!

    Girl you are doing awesome! I aspire to be in your position soon. You dont have to explain your hustle to ANYONE, your drive home is your business and you dont need to explain youraelf to anyone who doesnt understand. It takes a special human to work in healthcare and im right there with you. I just pray that you get enough rest to avoid burnout and things like that. Im prating you keep your fire about you, and that you are safe while youre out here doing the dang thang! God speed!

    Dr. Southard, I am so happy for you. I'd always wanted to be a doctor. I lacked confidence to pursue medicine in college. At 44, I am in a STEM career, but I admire your drive and vulnerability as you live into your dream. Thanks for sharing!

    I’m a medical student, I understand how challenging this must be, maybe not fully but I’ve been on few shift experiences before and felt like quitting but obviously I wasn’t asked to do much. This is why you’re truly awesome. You inspire me to do better.

  • @chantillyyakes7714
    @chantillyyakes7714 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I'm a medical student still so I have no experience as an intern. It definitely does not look easy. I used to work as an EMT working 24, 48, sometimes 72 hours shifts. I used to have to drive home after these shifts too and I lived over an hour away. I made the mistake to not sleep after getting home so it makes me really happy to see that you are. My advice is to keep that up. Sleep, sleep, sleep! And fuel your body. Keep up the hard work, Dr. Southard! This hard work will be worth it.

    @xchurricane Před 11 měsíci +1

    This might be my new favorite video of yours! It is so inspiring, and I have extra motivation for my crazy work shifts!
    Btw, as a mom myself, it is totalllllly fine for you to say you delivered babies. You're putting in the work to make sure they're ok! Just not as physical haha.
    Also also, as a rotating shift worker, yes there are risks driving home after work, but there's also adrenaline and sunshine that help with the shorter drives. No need to apologize!

  • @JordynLynnia

I'm a fourth-year student and still have one year till graduation (5 years program).

    Just took my MCAT on Saturday, starting last year of undergrad today. Watching your channel as inspo (as I always do). Great job for your first call shift! P.S. in my opinion, you did deliver those babies. I know the moms who delivered them would say you delivered their babies too!!

    Great vlog! I would not have even thought about you driving home after the shift if you hadn’t of mentioned it. You will sleep better in your own space.
    It is good to see you feeling more confident with elements of the role and showing the continued learning that you have to do.

    I love seeing you live your dream. I know it’s not easy being an intern but it looked like you handled this shift very well. I know you learned a lot those 24 hours. Now if I could just find a Dr like you to do a gyne (aka Pap smear) for me in South Hills Pittsburgh that accepts my insurance. It is a nightmare to find a good one. Anyway, keep up the good work!
