You and a blogger called dr.daisy Sanchez have inspired me to stop settling and chase the crazy dream of becoming a medical doctor or DO. Thank you for sharing and I hope and pray for your happiness!!!!

It's so wholesome to see you have grown into such a confident bada$$ woman throughout the years.

Rachel you are glowing with happiness. I love that for you, you deserve the world.

I hope you never stop making these videos. I enjoy them so much and give me the motivation I need sometimes to continue my educational journey. ❤

I have been watching your videos for the last couple of years from when you started your classes all the way to your rotations! I’m very happy for you! ❤

Just wanted to congratulate you on passing your boards - that is a huge accomplishment! I’ve been following your channel since my senior year of residency and you really inspired me to give it my all this past year when studying for my specialty boards. I found out this week that I passed, and I couldn’t have done it without you! Also, I love seeing you so happy with your bf and I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving! 🥰

8:08 been struggling with that same thing, often I'm in a place where not phased by others but neither standing up for myself so everyone has their go at me. Not downplaying your hard work is a major advantage in these situations like you say. Thanks for spreading these bits of wisdom, you're very precious!

You look so happy, I'm so happy for you!! You completely deserve and you are an inspirational person!

Another Rachel video = another W Keep doing what you do!

I watch you because its you not only MED :) I love to be mixed and be just you. ALso you motivate me to get my goals done

you’re my favourite youtuber on this platform!! thank you for showing the highs & lows of your profession and always being a breath of fresh air, love you sm!

I love seeing your non work related montages!!! Obviously I found you because of the doctor stuff but seeing you relax and happy is so nice 😢

You are awesome! Love this video. I've tried a few times now to get back into working out post partum and it is so hard to stay consistent. But you remind me to stop making excuses and just do it ❤

I'm so glad to hear you touch base on the DO stigma- I'm starting medical school next year at a DO school and I'm so excited but I wanted to hear someones take who is a DO so thank you!

i love the balance you manage to maintain in your life, i hope i can achieve that once i start med school :))

Love these montages 🥹 Your boyfriend is so talented ✨✨✨

Your boyfriend is so talented. I really enjoyed listening to him. The Bay Area looks beautiful. Keep taking care of yourself! Thanks for sharing with us.

The most beautiful and life-full (?) montage. Loved that. Thanks for sharing ❤

Last time was the first time I saw your boyfriend. I am excited to hear about everything you'll discuss and hope it helps people

I’ve been following you for years! It has been so incredible to watch your growth. Thank you Rachel for vulnerability and openness. In your highs, lows, and in betweens, you are an inspiration! Wishing you health, happiness, and countless blessings!❤

Love that you're smiling you deserve the world!! Can't wait for the next vid

Hi Rachel, I really appreciate your videos, they are quite inspiring for me

Sending you the goodest best vibes 🩷

LOVE that piano transcription of Beethoven's 6th Symphony! Beautiful playing!!

The intro… chef’s kiss! 😚

Good morning Rachel happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

I love how you don’t have a victim mentality- that’s so important in order to be successful and happy! All of your advice is so valuable thank you for this and all of your videos! 💗

Loved this video 🥺❤️

Dr Rachel I love you I enjoy watching you. And you had helped me a lot especially doing this difficult time for me. I recently lost my grandma to a heart attack. And this has been a hard year. Because I lost a lot of people who I was close to especially my girlfriend who passed away unexpectedly in August.

I don't think anyone can or should ever say that they can't do it or it's too hard. Because Rachel proves that if you work hard at something then it'll probably come true. Not only are you working 24 hr shifts but you're also modelling a product. Just amazing.

Thank you for that tip for incoming medical students☺️🫶

Great questions and answers. As an MD who is out of academics and has been in private practice and now working for the state that I live in, the stigma is greatest in academics and by the public than private practice physicians (in my experience). I have worked with both and as long as someone goes to a good residency and tries to learn their field, it is all the same in the end. As you said, the residencies are often merged. It might be an issue for someone who wants a prestigious academic career but otherwise we are all the same in the end. Believe me, there are plenty of people who are MD or even MD/PhDs who are terrible clinicians. So what choice you make about schools is less relevant if you learn a lot in school and residency. Patients will go more by referrals than what degree it is. You are almost halfway through internship! Congratulations on your hard work!

You just keep slaying

Rachel I would still be in your tribe if you no longer made medicine content vlogs. I enjoy watching your content that you include that is outside of medicine. Always wishing you the best happiness, love, and success at whatever you do!♥

Hi Dr. Rachel, how did you develop your confidence despite others trying to push you down? I'm working on it, but in the past I believed that if many people were treating me like an idiot, then I must be. I would make mistakes due to anxiety and feel like it only proved their point. I would love to hear about how you grew such strong resilience, is it inherent to your personality? If not, was there a moment that flipped the switch for you? I am also SO very happy for you, it is easy to see the literal joy and contentment radiating from you when you talk about your new boyfriend, and personal life. You deserve all the best!!!

Top notch Rachel as always. Thanks for the personal video shares. My health care team is my DO and my nurse practitioner. Doesn’t get any better than that. I’m 65 and take no prescribed meds. My team has kept me in good health. So proud that u chose the DO path. Addressing the body as a whole and looking for a solution as opposed to just throwing a pill at it is the smart way to go. March on Miss Ant…🐜🐜🐜 we r right behind u.

Hey hey, COMP OMS1 here. Staying hopeful that as current students hit the physician workforce in coming years, the DO stigma will continue to lessen. You had a great summary about the stat difference thing. We have the same average MCAT and GPA at UCR SOM right next door. For me, I picked the school because I didn't want to move away from my partner of over a decade and COMP was warm and welcoming in all my experiences (looking at you T Fox!). People pick programs for plenty of different reasons. Licensing exams and extracurricular activities should be the standards to judge by, not the letters of the degree (to my knowledge no DMD v DDS stigma exists). It definitely is kind of funny to me that the people who seem to be most judgmental about MD v DO tend to be premeds. I just say... the past and current president had/have DO physicians & NASA's CMO is a DO. That should tell anyone everything they need to know. (Also, thanks for your study videos, a bunch of us used them to get our feet on the ground at the start of the year.) Hope residency is going well! :]

This video is awesome

In the building waiting from Baltimore MD 😎

Happy december

More puppers! That's it. They are cute.

What you said about DO about if you would have wanted to go to MD school, you would have, I am a PA and agree on my side. If I would have wanted to be a physician I would have went to med school. I love the PA profession when I learned about it in 2020. And I’m so happy with my decision. It’s not a fall back option for us who didn’t have grades to get into med school because a lot of us could have, it’s just a different choice we made. ❤️ love watching your videos. Also, I love DOs! I honestly feel they know more than MDs as well because they have to learn osteopathic medicine as well. I wish the stigma for that was not a thing anymore. I absolutely loved the DO who was my SP.

Hello Rachel i just want to let you know that i love your channel. Thanks for sharing with us all. I cant wait to see more content. Im working my way through some of your videos. Im new to the/ your channel. Very imformative. Day in life vids i so love. Grwm videos i love to. Not sure if you do any get ready with me vids or not .its cool either way. What a beautiful sight in this one ❤ your bf plays the piano great ...... Btw happy new year to you and your boyfriend.

I love your energy ❤❤!! How many hours do you spend at the gym per day?

In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎

Speaking of the stigma DO’s face, last week on The View Sunny Hostin said that DO’s weren’t the same as MD’s. They were talking about Trump and the report his DO released on his health. She made it sound like because the doctor was not an MD, that we shouldn’t put too much stock in what the report said. I’m still confused about the difference between the two. I’ve never been to a DO so I don’t know what the differences in the type of care you would receive. What does your boyfriend do for a living.

when I saw you boyfriend I was thinking he is so lucky to have you. uh I just love you and you bring us peice. and yes I would watch you even if you weren't in med field😪❤❤❤

THE boyfriend is on THE vlog. Uhh oh watch out. Big step. I love your positive affirmations. Proving someone wrong only gets you so far. Once you do that its like damn i got this far for that ash ole, im going all out for me now. Next question is can you elaborate on love lol so cute.

Omg...I saw quitting medicine...and I couldn't click fast enough..lol

Have a good day Rachel =) I love you!

Not your boyfriend being a blonde MOZART!!!! We love a cultured man

Do you use OMM now? I’m a MD student but have been doing courses to learn it and was curious about any OBGYN applications.

Biggest challenges navigating MD school? Hardest year? (M1 or M2)

After being in the room and cutting the cord for both my children I feel like OB/Gyn rotation will feel familiar for me lol the resident that handled our last birth almost passed out, he went pale when he saw all the blood 😅

How long have you been with your boyfriend?

How did you balance gym with medical school 😭

How do you balance relationship with residency while residency is so time consuming. Does your boyfriend respect and understand that most of the time you wont be available ?

„My genetics in offspring form“ that screamed IM IN THE MEDICAL FIELD hahahahahahhahaha

Do you vlog with your phone? Or camera? Thanks!

I will go to a DO instead of an MD given the option. In my experience, DOs will treat the whole person where many MDs will treat specific symptoms. One example from my experience. I went to a Rheumatologist who was an MD. To her, I was treated more as a collection of symptoms and she only treated the joint symptoms. When I switched to a Rheumatologist who was a DO, his first concern was my quality of life. He changed my medication to control more of my possible autoimmune symptoms rather than only focus on finger and toe joints. I can say enough good things about him and have recommended him to others because he is a DO!

Can someone please explain what is DO and MD?

I can't imagine going through medical school just to stop to do social media full time..

❤

What does it mean DO and Med what is thé différence ?

What's DO?

You need to live girl 🎉 get on out there and enjoy some sunlight; and if/when it goes pear-shaped, you're already a DOCTOR and maybe a celeb one with your connections...and followers and more importantly.. you'll have lived a bit in this short life 💚

soo if you met your boo 5 years ago, how/ why did you guys start dating now? girl we need the whole story lol

I thought you were Dr. Daisy Sanchez yall look a like!

Most people: I'd love to have kids Rachel: I would love to see my genetics in the form of an offspring LMAOOOO that made chuckle

4:10 You're going to be a great attending physician.

You never answered HOW DID U MEET UR PARTNER? Is he also in medicine?

🙌❤

Have you thought about becoming a lay midwife? It is more of an art than a technological skill. You would not need to take on as many clients and would have more time for other endevors.

Do you know what you are going to do as an obgyn? There are like no pelvic pain specialists. It is honestly kind of discouraging to need help and having doctors just dismiss you.
