Absolutely love her! I’m going back to school right now as an “old” premed with the hopes of one day being an OB-GYN, pediatrician, or anesthesiologist, and she makes a great argument for OB! I love herrrr

18:20 This was something the nurse who talked to my mom should of learned. Tell patients with empathy AND proof that they have some sort of cancer. My mom went to an OBGYN and a nurse told her straight up with ZERO proof she had uterine cancer. She broke down in tears and my dad was very upset, it didn't help that his mom recently passed because of cancer. The worst part is that she didn't even have cancer, the nurse also lied to her saying that my mom had many small cysts when in reality she only had one big one. I can't even begin to describe how angry I was when my mom told me after she came back from her checkup. We didn't bother suing or anything but that is absolutely horrible lying to people like that.

This is the best "day in the life of an obgyn" video I've found. Thank you so much! You cover everything, and I feel so sure about pursuing this path.

[taylorcromwell]

Thanks for this I’m currently a 2nd year med student planning to pursue OB/GYN. This was super helpful and interesting🙌🏽😊

Hi Dr. Webb. This is the first video that I watched of yours and I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate you taking the time to showcase physicians from different backgrounds and specialties on your channel. As a black woman who is considering entering the medical field, it is very encouraging to see your videos with medical professions of color. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you are doing!!

I'm 13 and live in Arizona. We have to do this thing in Tech class where you start to think more of your future and what you want to be when you're older. Since I was 3, I have always wanted to be a doctor, then when i was around 11 i wanted to be a OBGYN and hopefully I could achieve that goal. 🤗

[ahmadal-husseini]

Dr. Webb's consistency with these awesome informational pieces is next level! Noticeable improvement in the editing and camera work too, what a gold mine of a channel for anyone interested in a medical career. Thanks Dr. Webb you're the best!

[akanksha.chaurasia]

I hope I can become an OBGYN soon! 🙏🏻 Thank you for motivating me!

[AGreyAlien]

Very well spoken individual and incredibly detailed in explaining her practice and the practice of OB-GYN for those interested in the field. When she speaks about delivering her first baby, it reminded me of my twin sister's labor and how the doctor was a resident. I'm sure she (the resident who delivered my sister's baby) must have felt the same (very excited and special!). Cool stuff.

[suseq]

Another very intelligent, compassionate female ob/gyn. Glad there are increasing numbers of these smart women taking care of women.

[Imash]

Yay!! Finally, I always wanted a Video ob OB-GYN, it's the field I've loved since I was a kid (i know super weird) but now I know exactly what I want to do thanks to this video! (maternal-fetal medicine). Thank you so much, Dr. Webb!

[aishaabdullahi]

Obgyn is my dream career I want to pursue, this video gives me much motivation and more knowledge about Obs and gyn, I really love this video❤️❤️❤️

[Hsbh]

She is so inspiring! I want to go into ob/gyn and really enjoyed this video

[dominickvaldez]

Thank for you this video Dr. Webb (And Dr. Zamora)! This is currently the most appealing practice to me. I just accepted my first position in the class of 2025 and I look forward to my clinical rotations.

I imagine 30-35 patients a day on a 8-5 schedule as she said is a lot. I am a phleb and I see 40-50 in the same amount of time but I don't spend much time with the patients and typically in and out unless they ask questions about there labs in which case I know everything about the test but not always what the doc is looking for in particular as it is not always straight forward, & many test can give a range of possibilities, i.e CMP vs an APTT. It still takes the whole day to see them all, I can't imagine a physician seeing that many patients going over charts and answering all their questions. I imagine it helps being that her patients come to her rooms vs me walking all around a huge hospital. Very neat video although I am going the PA route always love following Doctor Webb and others very inspirational!

[xixi]

I am a stay-at-home mother and love to watch these videos while my baby naps!
Currently pregnant with my second child so this specialty was very interesting to me! 🤗
These videos make me want to become a doctor haha

[sweetlolitaChii]

There's nothing more reassuring than a friendly ob who is there to answer all your questions during pregnancy. Thanks to all the obstetricians out there 🙏

[kimberlyy]

I am thankful I found this video it gave me great insight of my career field chosen. I am currently attending college to become an OB/GYN. Great video
