processing loss as a resident doctor | Dr. Rachel Southard

Being a doctor isn’t all white coats and stethoscopes — sometimes it’s learning to speak your patient’s language, sometimes it’s explaining a pap smear, and sometimes… it’s sitting with loss.

I’m an OB/GYN resident who believes in keeping it real. You won’t find flashy trends here — just the humanity of medicine, the small lessons I’ve learned along the way, and the moments that shape who I am as a doctor.

What you can look forward to in today's video :-)
a quick, clear education moment on pap smears & colposcopy
a little Spanish-speaking segment (yay! it's helped me a lot to be bilingual in medicine)
processing the loss of a patient (spoiler alert - it never gets easier)

Whether you’re in medicine, thinking about it, or just curious about life behind the scenes, I hope this reminds you that medicine is more than medicine — it’s human.
