thank you so much for being an advocate for residents / medical students and pushing for changes to the status quo of over-working residents. i'm not a medical student myself, but my sister and many friends are. it's ironic how the field of medicine treats burnout, sleep deprivation, etc. yet continues to enable residents to develop these same conditions through inhumane working hours. You speaking up and promoting changes will have an impact and help a future generation of doctors!

I work for a very large medical facility. I feel like calling doctors by their title is out of respect. Even though they always introduce themselves by their first name, I can't call them by their first name. Kind of like when I run into a teacher I had in HS. I can not call them by their first name, it is always Mr. or Mrs, Ms. Thank you for all of the content you provide, it is nice to know what my residents go through and why they may be short with their words when they are on their 24+ hour shift and they're also "on-call" to take patient calls for their service. Your videos give me some understanding and grace for them. I completely understand where ur coming from as well. Thank you for all you do for us, your patients, nurses and fellow doctors.

@owlofathens3288 2 ай бұрын

I feel you! As a recent graduate from residency, I cannot help but call my colleagues (especially older ones) by their last name + Dr. title, just like I would call an attending as a resident, because it felt weird calling them by their first names. On the other hand, people call me by my last name because my ethnic first name is spelled too weird for people's pronounce

@owlofathens3288 2 ай бұрын

I also remember when I was so tired and frustrated and sad while on-call, that once or twice my words got short with the nurses. Afterwards I always feel so bad and spend lot of time apologizing. Your understanding is definitely appreciated by the residents.

Im a first year med student who is repeating first year. The pressure is a lot. A few days ago, I got bit by a dog, and my first thought was "i need to study." That really made me realise that I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself. It's hard to take a step back from school, especially as a repeating student. But it can't be my entire life, which it currently is.

As an R1 in Family Medicine, I have to say that I COMPLETELY resonate with not talking about medicine outside of work. It’s so hard when family ask for advice but I joke (not really) that my work hours are from 9-5 M-F and anything outside of that will be charged. That always seems to do the trick and gets a little laugh lol

Hey Rachel! Great video as always and not even on a Saturday what a treat Lol! Just wanted to make a kind suggestion about ur hair thinning: have u tried the product called Nutrafol? They have a whole host of vitamins to help with hair thinning and other stuff. I think it was founded by a med student. I haven’t used any of their products but have seen the commercials and heard great things abt it. And another product called Curology for ur skincare/acne (again haven’t used it myself but have heard great things)😊. Hope this helps and I wish u great continued success ❤

I think it’s fantastic and so important that you value work/life balance but I’m wondering how feasible that is in such a demanding speciality such as OBGYN. I remember when I was pregnant with my first and my treating OBGYN said yeah, I don’t deliver anymore, I need sleep!

Super cool of you to be humble about being a doctor. On the opposite side, how do you feel about other medical professions saying they're doctors cuz they have a doctorate? While i agree it's an accomplishment, I believe there's a time and a place for referring yourself as a doctor so depends on context. Like I have an OTD, but I feel uncomfortable with being called a doctor because it's out of respect for those doctors of medicine like my sister who is also a DO and a Rachel.

@ahoward3819 2 ай бұрын

I am not asking this in any kind of bad way. Knowing that obgyn is an intense specialty have you considered doing something else? Like dermatology tends to be much more quiet. Rarely is there ever a dermatology emergency in the middle of the night. I am sure there are other specialties that are less intense ways to be a doctor. Can you see yourself still doing this 20, 40 years down the road?
