Hi Rachel I'm from a medical school in Uganda, East Africa. Just wanted to say that I feel like we have become like friends at this point. I'm joining third year soon so excited to see your story. God bless.

I feel like a proud mom, seeing how far you have come. I look forward to seeing the rest of your journey.

Third year already and you’re almost at 200k ! Can’t believe this all happened so fast, I remember the excitement of you uploading your first week vlog and now we’re at your first rotation! I hope you always know how proud we all are🥲

OMG!! you're almost at 200k! So proud of you

Was a scribe at that hospital you're rotating at, before I started medical school. Love that place, lots of great doctors and nice staff! Have fun

I love this, because I feel I am watching Grey's anatomy, I love how you talk about what surgeries you did and the environment, super cool, I hope to meet you one day 🙌🙌

I can literally TELL in your voiceovers that your voice is so EXCITED and like FULL OF LIFE despite you being tired, which I think was the most satisfying part of this video for me 🥺🥰

Congratulations Rachel! your channel feels like my bestie who's been with me since day 1 in this medical school journey. Let's keep on keeping on, Aja! (fighting!)

Well that was exciting! Thank you so much for sharing! You are a rockstar and such an inspiration!

It's so nice to see you from always studying alone in your room to now being so happy in the OR! I'm going into medical school next week and your videos always inspire me! I know that when things get tough in med school and I feel like giving up, I'll just keep going back to your videos and seeing your progress and being reassured that everything's going to be okay in the end

I'm still in undergrad, but I've had a few opportunities to watch some surgical procedures, and a lap choley was the first procedure I ever watched! Surgery is so fascinating to me, and I'm really glad you're enjoying it! We're all so proud of you Rachel! :)

We're all so proud of you! You're one of my greatest inspirations and you keep reminding me of why I should continue working to achieve my goals! Thankyou for making me believe in myself and keep up the good work!!! p.s: hey from Portugal!

Girl you are GLOWING! This is what you were born to do!

Hi!!! This is 1 of my many favorite vlogs, you keep me so grounded and motivated with my studies. Thanx Rachel 💯

I still remember watching your videos all the way back to your first day of first year and seeing this now just makes me so happy! When I first started watching I didn't know I wanted to study medicine, but now I'm officially started medical school myself. Thank you so much !

Rachel, I just wanna say- you are one of the most inspiring people I've come across and I'm so glad to be a part of this journey and I'm so proud of you and I TRULY love you very much. You inspired me to want to become a doctor. I've always wanted to, but then something happened and I ended up taking commerce. Then, I found your channel and I saw your life and it truly motivated me, and I'm taking up medicine. I'm not kidding, you are one of my biggest mentors in a way and are such a huge part of my journey and I'm so thankful to you and grateful for you. Love you so much❤️

So exciting!!! I’ve watched her for a long time, and I just started med school. So happy for you Rachel ❤️

Look at you thriving, Student Dr. Southard!!! So proud of you!! Keep knocking those suturing and patient care skills out of the park!!

I cant believe it. Ive been watching since you moved to socal to start school. I'm so proud of what you've accomplished. You got this 👍

omg your excitement is SO contagious🥺 It’s so good to see you having fun I’m starting med school tomorrow and was kind afraid, but I felt so emotional and excited too Sending LOTS of love from Brazil

Omg Rachel! Okay I’m like so excited for you!! I’m so happy for you, congratulations on your start of third year. It’s so weird but like I actually am not a medical student, I quickly realized that medicine was not for me in high school. But I love watching you and your vlogs!! I continued watching because on how passionate you are. And as I enter my last semester of community college, I just hope that one day I get to be as passionate towards something like you are to medicine. It is so motivating to see how you love it. And medicine is interesting so I feel like you learn and I feel like I learn at the same time😂😂. Your perspective and just life is genuinely motivating for me, so thank you:) keep doing what you do. I send you strength and guidance, love and light amiga❤️

Ugh you're just my favorite youtuber and human. I'm going to be a junior in undergrad pre-med and your videos are not only super helpful but make me very excited for the future!!! :D

When you said “I knoww” 😬 after mentioning you closing, its if as you knew I was genuinely excited for you! CONGRATULATIONS!! Continue to inspire!

Well done I've been following you for a while and I'm so proud of everything you have achieved so far. I dont know why you doubt yourself, you're such a clever lass 😘 Keep up the good work 💪👩‍⚕️

Love watching your videos! I am a new graduate nurse in the CVICU and enjoy documenting what it was like going through nursing school, taking the NCLEX boards, and being a new grad. I love watching other people's journeys in the other parts of healthcare. It's especially fun to see you take and pass your boards exams and then get to see videos like this where you are finally getting to do the skills and have the experiences you have waited so long to do, especially during the pandemic. Great content!

Sooooo excited for you! I think rotations is when it finally becomes real for med students!

I'm so excited for you!!

So proud of you 👏🏼👏🏼 you got to close up a real life patient that’s HUGE!! Keep the confidence going

Your excitement makes me happy, thanks for the motivation. KEEP GOING GIRL. I'm currently studying for boards in the Herd's hoodie. =D

I was having a bad day and clicked on Rachel’s video and she started it with “AAAA HIII GUYS” and I immediately felt better. Thanks Rach

I've been watching you for a while and I'd thought I'd leave a comment 💕I just graduated nursing school and am working as an emergency Nurse in a level one trauma center. The learning curve is real but I'm loving learning so much

I’m so excited!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you!

I love watching your videos!

You're crushing it !

You're such an inspiration mannn❤

How quickly time flys. Hands on is the best. Congrats on ur test scores. U can say the score doesn’t matter but it does. Ur above average Rachael because ur a sponge. The next 2 years will be tough but will be over before u know it. Looking forward to every video.

I remember watching her "First Week Of Medical School" video and she's already in her third year? So so proud of her. Time really flew 🥺❤

girllll i'm soo excited and proud and jealous of you right now haha :D Seriously learning surgery this way is a dream .. have funn!! i'm at the end of my 3rd year i have no motivation to do anything at the moment but your video pumped me up a little :) i started rotations at the beginning of COVID crisis so i haven't seen much of the hospital this year unfortunately

Oh my God, This is so nice, i love your rotine in the hospital ❤️❤️

It’s fascinating watching your experiences. I was on the other end (ie the patient) of a laparoscopic gall bladder removal a couple of years ago. About 25 years ago I had a right salpingo oophorectomy and afterwards it looked as if whoever had done the stitching had used a darning needle and carpet thread! 😀 Your stitching will be so much better, I know! One day at a time and take care of yourself.

This is so exciting !!!

Gonna start my 3rd year next week hehe 🥴 Love your vlogs girl!! Good luck x

You’re amazing Rachel

Wow!! This is so intimidating. I feel like you get thrown in this and I’m not ready hahaha I have to get into medical school first 😂😂 but still wow!! I’m so proud of you rach!! I remember you studying for the mcat and look how far you’ve come!! ❤️❤️

Rachael, I am a pre-med student and I can't lie but seeing you I really feel that you are living my dream life right, like I want to be in your shoes so bad I can't even describe...
