Glauc Talk: Family Medicine Has Entered the Chat
Okay, so I made one comment about Kristin’s coffee-making skills and instantly became the villain. And then she replaced me—with Family Medicine. Like, actually replaced me. For an entire segment. This episode, we talk about the real heartbreak behind Medicare's decision not to cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss and diabetes, and the wider implications for access, affordability, and the ongoing “just exercise more” narrative that’s exhausting all of us. Spoiler: we’re not fans of weaponized personal responsibility. Then Family Medicine makes his podcast debut, and wow—he has some things to get off his chest. Like being overworked, underappreciated, and constantly asked to “clear” patients for cataract surgery. (Which isn’t a thing. Please stop saying it’s a thing.) We close things out with a conversation about burnout, respect, weighted blankets, and fermented Texaco antibiotics. You know, just a normal Tuesday. Takeaways: I mentioned Kristin’s coffee grounds and now I’m banned from caffeine commentary. GLP-1 meds aren’t being covered by Medicare anymore, and it’s as infuriating as you’d expect. Family Medicine is here. He’s tired. And he’s not “clearing” anyone for anything. If you don’t think all doctors are burned out, you’re not paying attention.

Knock Knock Eye: The Four Times I Cried As A Doctor (So Far)
I don’t cry often. Not because I’m especially tough—more because medicine does a pretty good job training that out of you. But sometimes? It happens. In this episode, I walk through four times I cried as a doctor (yes, one of them involves Rugrats ), what led up to those moments, and what came after. There’s also a side quest into diagnosing The Sandlot’s Mr. Myrtle, a few shoutouts to comment-section philosophers, and some thoughts on whether it’s even worth debating people who think vaccines contain nanobots. So yeah, a little bit of everything. Takeaways: Some Stories Stay with You. Some Break You Open. A patient. A family. A sound you can’t unhear. It was week two of med school rotations, and I still think about it 15 years later. Residency Will Humble You—Sometimes Publicly. One attending. Two missed steps. Twenty minutes of educational humiliation in front of the entire department. I held it together… until I didn’t. What’s Worse Than Getting Diagnosed with Cancer Again? Getting that news and then getting paged for a bilateral open globe trauma five minutes later. Yep, that happened. The Rugrats Made Me Cry. Between Patients. In Clinic. If you don’t tear up when Chucky says, “She’s in the flowers,” you might already be in the flowers. I'm just saying. I Diagnosed the Blind Guy in The Sandlot. Of Course I Did. Was it glaucoma? Optic nerve trauma? A bizarre case of Hollywood medicine? Yes. Also: yes, my children left the room. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: Fixing Healthcare One Smell at a Time
So this episode started with a Reddit post about a guy who thinks his poop smells like his patients’ poop... and I wish I could say it gets less weird from there, but no—it really doesn’t. Kristin and I spiral into the science (and total lack of science) behind smell memory, hospital food, and whether we’re all just walking around slowly absorbing our work environments. Spoiler: if you're in ophthalmology, congrats—you’re mostly scent-neutral. Unless you've ever used a slit lamp on someone mid-GI crisis. I also revisit 30 Days of Healthcare and question a few of my creative choices (including a weird little sketch about fixing healthcare with just vibes and prior auths). And because I clearly haven’t suffered enough, we open up the brand new First Aid for Step 1 (2025 edition) and test how much I remember from med school. It’s… not great. Takeaways: There’s a Reddit post you can’t unread—and now we all have Deja P. We may be slowly absorbing our patients… through scent. Kristin puts Will’s med school knowledge to the test. It does not go well. Sneeze guards: good for spit, better for smell trauma. We’re trying to make medical education funny again. Starting with capitation. And poop. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: The Real Horror in Nosferatu? His Corneas
What do 19th-century vampires , corneal scarring , and rampant chlamydia have in common? Possibly more than you'd think. I Nosferatu and spiraled (in a good way) into diagnosing one of film’s creepiest figures using real ophthalmology. Along the way, I breaks down the leading causes of corneal blindness, unpack the wild world of corneal transplants , and imagine what kind of eye care Nosferartu might’ve needed in his castle. Takeaways: He May Be Immortal, But His Corneas Are Not: Nosferatu’s cloudy eyes raise some very real medical questions—and Dr. Flanary can’t let it go. Not All Corneal Scarring Comes from Contact Lenses: What causes corneal blindness around the world might surprise you… and gross you out a little. There’s a Toothpick-Sized Transplant That Can Change Lives: Modern corneal transplant technology has gotten weirdly precise—and impressively effective. PBM Reform Might Finally Be Moving… a Little: A glimpse of progress in the middleman mess, with state-level action heating up. If You Watch Horror with a Doctor… Be Prepared for Diagnoses: Don’t expect a relaxing movie night. Expect theories, pathologies, and a bit of eye-rolling.

The Poop Question GI Doctors Are Tired of Hearing with Dr. Kaveh Hoda
In this episode we welcome back Dr. Kaveh Hoda —gastroenterologist, musician, podcaster, and accidental poop ambassador. We discuss what life is really like as a GI doc (spoiler: it’s not all about poop), how Match Day can go terribly wrong—or surprisingly right—and why some residents get influenced by... ultimate frisbee. Kaveh also opens up about his path into medicine, his Persian music background, and his worst interview story (hint: it involves casual racism and a dental drill). But it wouldn’t be a Glaucomflecken episode without a little absurdity—like when we brainstorm ways for UnitedHealthcare to get even more terrifyingly vertically integrated . Takeaways: A heartfelt moment during CPR left Kristin questioning if med school was even worth it. Will’s proposed test for letting your child go to med school involves a brutal prior auth simulation. The NIH funding freeze isn’t just theoretical—it’s dismantling real labs, careers, and discoveries. Medicaid cuts could gut healthcare access and destabilize emergency departments across the country. Ortho Bro has very strong opinions on which bones are real, fake, or just embarrassing. — Want more Dr. Kaveh Hoda: BlueSky: @kavehmd The House of Pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-house-of-pod/id1225096382 To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Dr. Mike vs. Anti-Vaxxers: What Went Down on Surrounded?
In this episode, I dive into a mix of strange eye conditions, pop culture moments, and one very public showdown between a doctor and a group of anti-vaxxers on Jubilee’s Surrounded . But beyond the headlines, there’s a deeper conversation here—about what it costs to stay online, stay visible, and speak up. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even check your eyelids before bed. Takeaways: A Surprisingly Common Condition You’ve Probably Never Heard Of: It flips, it flops, and it might be the reason you wake up with irritated eyes. A Debate That Left More Than a Mark: What happens when a doctor faces off with misinformation... for hours? The emotional fallout might surprise you. Engaging Online: Heroic or Hopeless? Dr. Flanary asks the uncomfortable question: Is fighting misinformation on social media actually helping—or just draining the people trying to help? Sci-Fi Fails a Real-World Eye Test: Those high-tech retinal scanners in movies? There’s one big flaw they forgot to mention—and it could keep you out of your own evil lair.

Glauc Talk: Real Bone or Fake Bone? Ortho Bro Decides!
In this episode we ask a deceptively simple question: Would you let your kid become a doctor? What starts as a heartfelt reflection on medicine, sacrifice, and identity quickly unravels into a chaos-filled ride through policy disasters, parenting hypotheticals, and bone-based controversy . We touch on the NIH budget freeze and massive proposed Medicaid cuts —and why they’re not just headlines, but real threats to research, residency programs, and patients. Will also pitches a darkly hilarious “prior auth simulation” to anyone considering med school. And just when things start getting too serious… Ortho Bro shows up. With strong takes and stronger forearms, he’s here to settle the great debate once and for all: What counts as a real bone? (Sorry, teeth.) Healthcare is a mess, bones are controversial, and nobody is safe from Ortho Bro’s tier list. Takeaways: A heartfelt moment during CPR left Kristin questioning if med school was even worth it. Will’s proposed test for letting your child go to med school involves a brutal prior auth simulation. The NIH funding freeze isn’t just theoretical—it’s dismantling real labs, careers, and discoveries. Medicaid cuts could gut healthcare access and destabilize emergency departments across the country.

Knock Knock Eye: I Had a Surgical Complication—Here’s How I Dealt With It
In this episode I share one of the more difficult days in the OR—when a routine cataract surgery didn’t go according to plan. I walk through the moment everything shifted, how I kept my cool, and what came after—both technically and emotionally. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a surgeon in that moment, this episode is a rare, honest window into it. Takeaways: Sometimes, Even “Routine” Surgeries Aren’t: Dr. Flanary opens up about a recent case that didn’t go as expected—and why even years into practice, there are still moments that test every skill you’ve got. Staying Calm When Things Go Sideways: When a complication unfolds in real time, there’s no time to panic. Dr. Flanary shares how he handled a challenging situation, and what surgeons learn to do when instincts and training have to carry the moment. Confidence Doesn’t Mean Perfection: Through a powerful metaphor, Dr. Flanary reflects on how surgical confidence evolves—not as certainty that nothing will go wrong, but as the ability to keep moving when it does. Conversations After Complications Matter: How do you talk to a patient—and their family—when the procedure didn’t go exactly as planned? Dr. Flanary talks about how he approaches these moments with honesty and trust. The Policies Behind the Pressure: In a classic healthcare rant, Dr. Flanary traces how systems like Medicare Advantage add stress behind the scenes—and why real reform, especially around PBMs, can’t come soon enough. — We have an active survey going.

Known for his mile-a-minute energy, caffeine addiction, and refusal to slow down, he makes his first-ever in-person podcast appearance … and it’s just as chaotic as you’d expect. Takeaways: He’s caffeinated. He’s chaotic. And now he’s got a microphone. What happens when a fictional ER doctor enters a real podcast studio? We tested ChatGPT’s joke-writing abilities… and the results were cringe. Batman might belong in the ER—but not for the reason you think. Some patients say wild things under sedation.

Knock Knock Eye: The Pitt: Is This the Most Realistic Medical Show Ever?
In this episode I dive deep into the chaotic world of Match Day , exploring the emotional rollercoaster for medical students who match—and those who don’t. I share insights into why family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled at alarming rates and what this means for the future of primary care. I also review the medical drama The Pitt , breaking down one of its most realistic emergency eye trauma scenes—complete with a lateral canthotomy and high-pressure eye injuries . Takeaways: Match Day is one of the most stressful times in a medical student’s life, and not matching doesn’t mean your career is over. Family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled, raising concerns about the future of primary care. The Pitt is one of the most medically realistic shows, and its portrayal of emergency eye trauma is surprisingly accurate. Medical education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, and debt is pushing students away from lower-paying but essential specialties. ER doctors need to know how to handle emergency eye procedures, including lateral canthotomies and managing high-pressure eye trauma. — We have an active survey going.

Fighting Fentanyl Myths with Dr. Ryan Marino
In this episode we invite Dr. Ryan Marino , a triple-board-certified toxicologist, addiction specialist, and emergency physician known for his relentless battle against medical misinformation —particularly myths about fentanyl and drug policy onto the podcast to share his shocking experience of being targeted by Tucker Carlson , which led to online harassment, real-life threats, and even attempts to get him fired . Takeaways: The fentanyl “touch overdose” myth is still widely believed , despite overwhelming scientific evidence proving it’s impossible. Tucker Carlson’s attack on Dr. Marino led to real-world harassment, job threats, and an online mob—highlighting the risks of fighting misinformation. Social media is both a tool and a trap —it helps spread accurate medical information but also fuels toxic debates and misinformation. Proposed laws targeting fentanyl analogs may actually hurt public health by criminalizing research into safer treatment options. Doctors engaging in online advocacy can make a difference, but they also need support to withstand the backlash. — Want more Dr. Ryan Marino: BlueSky: @ryanmarino.bsky.social Instagram: @drryanmarino YouTube: @RyanMD We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: The Southwest Airlines Debacle: A Warning for Medicine?
In this episode I go on a private equity rant , breaking down how corporate takeovers are ruining healthcare —just like they’ve wrecked other industries, including Southwest Airlines . I explain how profit-driven ownership models are prioritizing revenue over patient care, forcing doctors into impossible situations and leading to worse outcomes for everyone . Takeaways: Private Equity is a Disaster for Healthcare: Dr. Flanary explains how private equity firms take over medical practices , cut costs, reduce patient care quality, and flip them for profit , leaving physicians and patients suffering. Southwest Airlines’ Private Equity Problem is a Warning: The downfall of Southwest’s customer-friendly policies is just another example of how corporate ownership ruins everything it touches —including medicine. Orthopedic Surgeons Really Love Pickleball: While speaking at an ortho conference , Dr. Flanary witnessed a full pickleball tournament happening inside the exhibit hall —which, honestly, makes a lot of sense for ortho docs. How ERs Handle Eye Emergencies: Not every ER has an on-call ophthalmologist , but level 1 and level 2 trauma centers are required to have one available 24/7 —so if you have a serious eye emergency , that’s where you should go. The Internet Really Wants to Talk About Spleens: After joking about replacing the spleen with a second liver , Dr. Flanary responds to fan concerns that spleens can “explode” , clearing up how spleen ruptures actually happen . — We have an active survey going.

Glauc Talk: The Southwest Airlines Debacle: A Warning for Medicine?
In this episode we dive into one of the most debated topics in medical education —should medical students have to work overnight shifts ? We break down both sides of the argument, from whether it builds necessary skills to whether it just reinforces unnecessary suffering. Takeaways: Med students doing night shifts remains a heated debate , with strong opinions on both sides about whether it actually improves training. Bribing kids to try harder in sports works… but it may also backfire when they start expecting to be paid for everything. Elizabeth Holmes will remain in prison after losing her appeal, marking another chapter in the Theranos fraud case. Doctors love arguing with each other , especially when it comes to medical education policies and resident training. Understanding motivation is tricky , whether you're training a doctor or a fourth-grade basketball player. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: The Wildest Eye Surgery You've Never Heard Of
In this episode I unpack the wildest eye surgery you’ve never heard of —a procedure that uses a patient’s tooth to hold an artificial cornea in place . This rare surgery restores vision in people with severe corneal damage. I also react to Goldie Hawn mentioning her cataracts at the Oscars , discussing why cataracts are a normal part of aging and why most people should have them removed by their 70s. Takeaways: Tooth-Based Eye Surgery Sounds Crazy, But It Works: The osteoodontokeratoprosthesis (OOKP) procedure involves implanting a patient’s tooth into their cheek, then using it as a corneal support . It’s used in extreme cases of corneal blindness when traditional transplants won’t work. Goldie Hawn’s Cataract Revelation at the Oscars: A throwaway comment at the Oscars sent cataract searches skyrocketing , highlighting how common cataracts are after age 60 —and why most people should consider surgery by their 70s. Should Cataract Surgery Be Delayed? Dr. Flanary breaks down why waiting too long can make cataract surgery riskier , especially when glare, reading issues, or night driving problems start affecting daily life. Australia Wants to Learn from America’s Healthcare Failures: Ahead of his keynote speech in Sydney , Dr. Flanary shares how Australia is facing growing privatization threats —and why they don’t want to end up with a U.S.-style system . Healthcare Comedy as a Teaching Tool: Dr. Flanary floats the idea of a stand-up show explaining U.S. healthcare , mixing satire and real policy breakdowns to educate audiences worldwide on how we got here. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: The Dress: 10 Years Later, Can You Still Trust Your Eyes?
In this episode we cover a little bit of everything—from childhood misconceptions about adult life to the latest terrible UnitedHealthcare news. Also, Kristin opens up about her official ARFID diagnosis and they revisit the infamous "The Dress" optical illusion 10 years later—has science finally settled the debate on white and gold vs. blue and black? Takeaways: Some kids believe adults don’t have dreams… except about taxes. Kristin has officially been diagnosed with ARFID and has started exposure therapy, which is as terrifying as it sounds. UnitedHealthcare is being investigated (again), this time for allegedly inflating Medicare Advantage claims to get more federal funding. The Dress debate still messes with people’s heads 10 years later, and your brain is constantly interpreting color in ways you don’t realize. Trying to explain your weird internet job to other parents can get awkward fast. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: The Bizarre VA Investigation That’ll Make You Facepalm
In this episode I share a wild VA investigation story involving misplaced suspicion, misinterpreted medical images, and seven months of wasted time . I also dive into measles-related eye complications , explaining how this highly contagious virus can lead to conjunctivitis, corneal scarring, and even blindness . Takeaways: The VA’s Seven-Month Investigation Fail: Dr. Flanary tells the almost unbelievable story of how VA police spent months investigating "pornographic images" —only to realize they were larynx photos from ENT exams . Measles Can Cause Blindness: He explains how measles-related conjunctivitis and keratitis can permanently scar the cornea , making it one of the leading causes of childhood blindness in low-income countries. Spleens, Extra Organs, and Evolution: Responding to fan comments , Dr. Flanary revisits the spleen vs. second liver debate and expands on which organs would be most useful if humans could regenerate them . Do We Really Need Multiple Skins? In a bizarre but hilarious discussion, Dr. Flanary considers the logistical nightmare of humans molting like reptiles , questioning what we’d even do with billions of discarded skins. Get Vaccinated Against Measles: With rising measles cases in the U.S., Dr. Flanary strongly emphasizes the importance of the MMR vaccine to protect against severe illness, eye damage, and preventable deaths . — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: What Do NIH Cuts Mean for the Future of Medicine?
In this episode we discuss a controversial topic that could shake the foundations of medicine: NIH budget cuts . With proposed funding reductions for medical research, we explore what this means for scientific innovation, medical education, and residency funding . Could these cuts limit opportunities for new doctors? Will private corporations step in to fill the gap—and at what cost? We break down the potential long-term consequences of slashing government funding for medical research and what it means for patients, physicians, and future healthcare providers. Takeaways: NIH budget cuts could drastically impact medical education, residency funding, and future scientific research. Slashing research funding could open the door for more corporate influence in medicine , raising ethical concerns. Medical advancements rely on publicly funded research , and cutting it could slow innovation for years to come. External motivation works in the short term but can reduce long-term internal motivation —as Will learned the hard way with his basketball incentive plan. The balance between motivation and bribery is tricky , and parenting is one long experiment in figuring it out. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: Is There a Way to Reverse Eye Dilation?
In this episode I answer frequently asked eye health questions , tackling topics like why your eyes hurt after removing contacts , whether it’s possible to reverse pupil dilation with Rizumvi , and how UV light therapy for seasonal depression affects eye safety. Takeaways: Why Contact Lenses Should Never Hurt: If your eyes hurt after removing contacts , it’s a sign of severe dryness, poor oxygen flow, or corneal irritation . Overwearing contacts can worsen long-term eye health , so taking breaks is essential. Reversing Eye Dilation with Rizumvi: A listener introduced Dr. Flanary to Rizumvi , an FDA-approved medication for reversing dilation. He explains why it’s expensive, slow to act, and not widely used , meaning most people still have to wait it out . UV Light Therapy and Eye Safety: Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) lamps can help mood regulation, but they must have UV filters to prevent potential eye damage. Without proper filtering, they can increase the risk of photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye) . Cataract Surgery and Timing: Not everyone needs cataract surgery at 60 —it depends on how much the cataracts affect vision. Dr. Flanary explains how eye doctors determine when surgery is actually necessary . Watching Live Eye Surgery: A listener shared their experience of watching a live cataract surgery through a viewing window in a clinic. Dr. Flanary discusses why some clinics allow this and why most patients prefer NOT to see their own surgery up close . — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: How Many Times Can One Person Escape Death?
In this episode we take a deep dive into fear—caving, the deep ocean, cruise ships, and even horseback riding. We discuss the internet’s obsession with terrifying survival stories and why people voluntarily put themselves in dangerous situations. I also recounts the time I fell off a horse… into the ocean, proving yet again that I have somehow escaped death multiple times. But it's not all fun and fear—we also discuss the ongoing Providence Health strike , where physicians and nurses continue to fight for fair wages and safer staffing conditions. Takeaways: Caving is an unnecessary risk —you don’t have to do it, ever, and you’ll probably be just fine. The ocean is objectively terrifying , whether it’s open water, cruise ships, or mysterious creatures lurking below. Work retreats should have limits —no horseback riding, extreme sports, or survivalist adventures required. The Providence Health strike continues , with physicians and nurses standing together for fair wages and safe staffing. Will has cheated death at least four times , including falling off a horse into the ocean during their honeymoon. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: United Healthcare Is A Wealth Of Content
In this episode I break down the latest research on Ozempic and its potential link to NAION (non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy), a rare condition that can lead to sudden vision loss. I also reflects on UnitedHealthcare’s continued public relations missteps, including its latest legal threats against physicians and anybody on social media, speaking out about the company. Takeaways: The Ozempic and Blindness Connection: Dr. Flanary explains a recent observational study that suggests Ozempic may increase the risk of NAION, a condition that affects the optic nerve. However, the data isn’t conclusive yet, and more research is needed before drawing firm conclusions. Uveitis and the Syphilis Conversation: If you have eye inflammation (uveitis), your doctor may need to test for syphilis—leading to some of the most awkward conversations in ophthalmology. Dr. Flanary explains why this is necessary and how it helps with proper diagnosis. UnitedHealthcare’s PR Nightmare: The insurance giant recently hired a law firm to threaten doctors on social media, proving once again that they’re more focused on silencing criticism than improving patient care. Does Everyone Need Cataract Surgery at 60? Not necessarily! While cataracts affect nearly everyone with age, surgery should only be performed when they significantly impact vision. Dr. Flanary explains how doctors decide when it’s time for surgery. Do We Really Need a Spleen? Dr. Flanary debates whether two livers would be better than one liver and a spleen, adding yet another hilarious (but oddly insightful) take on human anatomy. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode we dive into the quirks of daily life and the unexpected moments in medicine. We debate the merits of keeping texts unread—Will's inbox is chaos—before sharing our latest adventures in pet ownership, including the struggle to bond with our new kittens while preventing our dog from eating them. We also discuss the hilarious things patients say under light sedation. Takeaways: Unread texts can be a personality trait —Will has 400+, while Kristin reads every single one. Introducing cats and dogs takes patience (and some very careful planning). Flirting at the grocery store is apparently a thing —especially if you're Kristin. Doctors struggle with balancing documentation and patient interaction , especially when patients expect more eye contact. Patients under light sedation say the funniest things , and sometimes, that includes a marriage proposal. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: What Really Happens to Your Eyes in Space?
In this episode I explore the science behind eye dilation and whether there’s a way to reverse it (spoiler: there isn’t). I also discuss space blindness, a phenomenon astronauts experience due to fluid shifts in microgravity, and what NASA is doing to combat it. Takeaways: You Can’t Reverse Eye Dilation (Safely): Dr. Flanary explains why pilocarpine, a medication that constricts pupils, isn’t an effective solution for reversing dilation and can even increase the risk of retinal detachment in nearsighted individuals. Space Blindness Is a Real Condition: Long-term space travel can cause swelling of the optic nerves and changes in vision due to fluid shifts, leading NASA to study ways to mitigate these effects. Cataract Surgery Patients Say the Darndest Things: Light sedation during cataract surgery makes patients extra chatty, leading to some hilarious surgery-day stories, including unexpected marriage proposals from patients. What Causes Ocular Rosacea? This chronic eye condition is linked to facial rosacea , causing redness, irritation, and even corneal inflammation in severe cases. Amniotic Membrane Transplants Are a Game Changer: Donated placental tissue is being used to heal severe eye injuries and neurotrophic keratopathy , proving that amniotic tissue has powerful regenerative properties. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: A Congressman Said WHAT About Physicians?
In this episode I break down a congressman’s recent comments blaming physicians for the high cost of healthcare—and why that take is completely misguided. I explain where healthcare dollars actually go and why doctors aren’t the ones driving up costs. In addition I share a fascinating case of trochleitis, a rare but painful eye condition, and explain the difference between macular wrinkles and macular holes. Takeaways: Debunking a Congressman’s Comments About Doctors – Dr. Flanary responds to recent claims that doctors are to blame for the high cost of healthcare, explaining how insurance companies and administrative overhead play a much bigger role in skyrocketing prices. Trochleitis: A Rare Cause of Eye Pain – He explains how trochleitis, an inflammation of the superior oblique tendon sheath, can cause localized brow pain and how it’s diagnosed and treated. Macular Wrinkles vs. Macular Holes – Breaking down these retinal conditions, Dr. Flanary explains when they require surgery and how they affect vision over time. Seeing ‘Cracked Glass’ in Vision – A mysterious case where a patient described seeing cracked glass led to a surprising diagnosis of an occipital brain tumor , highlighting how vision symptoms can indicate neurological issues. The TikTok Eyelash Cutting Trend – Reacting to a bizarre viral trend, Dr. Flanary discusses why eyelashes are essential for eye protection and whether they really grow back the same way. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: Revisiting Dr. Glaucomflecken’s First Satirical Articles
In this episode we tackle the frustrating redundancies in medical paperwork to the historic Providence Health strike in Oregon, where nurses and physicians joined forces to demand safer staffing levels. We then explore the lighter side of healthcare with reflections on my early days as a Gomer Blog writer and how my comedy has evolved. Takeaways: Insurance companies often shift blame to doctors for rising healthcare costs to avoid scrutiny of their own profit-driven practices. The phrase "Remember that patient you saw?" strikes fear into physicians, as it often signals potential mistakes or complications. Humor in healthcare can be a powerful tool, but it also comes with ethical considerations that doctors must navigate carefully. Public perception of doctors is shaped by narratives from the healthcare industry, which often misrepresents physician compensation and responsibilities. Physician content creators face unique challenges , balancing humor with sensitivity while addressing serious healthcare issues. — We have an active survey going.

Knock Knock Eye: What Are Ortho-K Lenses and Are They Worth It?
In this episode I dive into the fascinating world of Ortho-K lenses—special contact lenses that reshape the cornea overnight to correct vision without the need for daytime glasses or contacts. I discuss the pros and cons of this vision correction method, who it’s best suited for, and potential risks. I also covers the dangers of contaminated eye drops due to recent recalls, the ongoing hospital strikes impacting healthcare, and the innovative use of amniotic membrane transplants in ophthalmology. Takeaways: Ortho-K Lenses for Vision Correction: Dr. Flanary explains how orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses work by gently reshaping the cornea overnight, providing clear vision without glasses or contacts during the day. Contaminated Eye Drops Recall: A recent recall of generic eye drops due to fungal contamination highlights the importance of using reputable brands and practicing good hygiene when applying eye medications. Hospital Strikes and Their Impact: Ongoing strikes by healthcare workers are affecting hospitals nationwide, raising concerns about patient care quality and medical staff burnout. Amniotic Membrane Transplants in Eye Care: Dr. Flanary explains how amniotic tissue is used in ophthalmology to treat severe eye injuries and promote corneal healing in complex cases. The State of Healthcare Today: With his trademark humor, Dr. Flanary reflects on current challenges in the healthcare system, from physician burnout to patient frustrations, and what changes could improve the future of medical care. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode we tackle several hot-button healthcare topics including how insurance companies often shift blame to doctors (and avoid accountability) for rising healthcare costs and dive into the complexities of physician compensation. We also take a deep dive into the ethics of humor in healthcare, reflecting on a viral TikTok video that generated both praise and criticism. Takeaways: Insurance companies often shift blame to doctors for rising healthcare costs to avoid scrutiny of their own profit-driven practices. The phrase "Remember that patient you saw?" strikes fear into physicians, as it often signals potential mistakes or complications. Humor in healthcare can be a powerful tool, but it also comes with ethical considerations that doctors must navigate carefully. Public perception of doctors is shaped by narratives from the healthcare industry, which often misrepresents physician compensation and responsibilities. Physician content creators face unique challenges , balancing humor with sensitivity while addressing serious healthcare issues. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Can You Take Your Cataract Home?
In this episode I tackle the fascinating eye questions you've had for me. I explore the debate over castor oil for dry eye treatment, share a wild cataract surgery story involving a rock-hard lens, and answers questions about anisocoria and optic disc drusen. Takeaways: The Risks of Nevus of Ota : Dr. Flanary explains how this rare pigmentation condition, seen in Daniela Ruah, increases the risks of glaucoma and uveal melanoma, emphasizing the importance of regular eye exams for those affected. Eye Rubbing Dangers : Chronic eye rubbing can lead to serious conditions like keratoconus, corneal changes, or even optic neuropathy in extreme cases. Gentle rubbing is okay, but moderation is key. Castor Oil Debate : While castor oil is a popular folk remedy for dry eye, Dr. Flanary highlights its lack of conclusive evidence and advises patients to stick with scientifically-backed treatments like artificial tears. Rock-Hard Cataracts : He shares a rare cataract surgery case involving a dense, diamond-like lens that had to be removed intact, highlighting the importance of early intervention for cataract treatment. Exploring Anisocoria : Dr. Flanary breaks down common causes of uneven pupil sizes, from benign physiologic anisocoria to signs of more serious conditions like Horner’s syndrome or third nerve palsy. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What Do Unionized Residents Mean for the Future of Medicine? | Dr. Max Jordan Nguemeni
In this episode, Dr. Max Jordan Nguemeni, a general internal medicine physician and health policy advocate, joins to discuss the growing wave of physician unionization. Dr. Nguemeni shares his experiences leading union efforts among residents and the challenges they face, from misinformation campaigns to structural barriers within hospitals. We also explore the generational divide among physicians on unionization, the role of social media in fostering communities, and how advocacy can address inequities in healthcare. Takeaways: Unionization among residents is gaining momentum across the U.S., with recent large-scale efforts in cities like Boston and Philadelphia. Barriers to unionizing include misinformation, resistance from hospital administration, and the transient nature of residency programs. Generational divides in medicine impact attitudes toward unionization, with younger doctors more focused on systemic change and work-life balance. Social media plays a critical role in building communities and sharing information about healthcare reform and advocacy efforts. Unionized residents are advocating for benefits like fair pay, fertility preservation, and better working conditions, setting the stage for systemic change in medicine. — Want to Learn About Dr. Max Jordan Nguemeni: X: @MaxJordan_N Bluesky: @MaxJordan.bsky.social, IG: @Game.Set.Max — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode I answer viewer questions about eye care, including when LASIK is worth it and when to skip it. I also dive into the eye conditions I can diagnose just by looking at someone, from ptosis to third nerve palsy, and reflect on the challenges patients with disabilities face during eye exams. Lastly, I get into all the equipment and machines we use in the eye doctor's office! Takeaways: LASIK Is Not for Everyone : Dr. Flanary advises against LASIK for patients over 50, explaining why cataract surgery provides better long-term vision improvement with fewer risks. Diagnosing Eye Conditions at a Glance : He lists common conditions ophthalmologists can spot immediately, including ptosis, strabismus, thyroid eye disease, and eyelid cancers, and discusses the potential dangers of ignoring these signs. The Power of Second Opinions : Dr. Flanary emphasizes the importance of getting a second opinion on expensive treatments like LASIK to ensure patients make informed decisions. Advocating for Patients with Disabilities : He highlights the need for ophthalmology practices to accommodate patients with disabilities, from portable slit lamps to alternative testing methods, and stresses that it’s the doctor’s responsibility to make the exam comfortable. Advocacy in Eye Care : Through humorous anecdotes, Dr. Flanary underscores the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, encouraging patients to ask questions and ensure they receive the best possible care. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: The Weirdest Eye Questions You’ve Always Wanted to Ask
In this episode I answer some of the most frequently asked—and occasionally bizarre—questions I get as an ophthalmologist. From whether chlamydia can spread from the eyes to the genitals, to why you should never rub your eyes too hard, I dive into everyday eye concerns with humor and expertise. Takeaways: Pink Eye vs. Conjunctivitis : Pink eye is a lay term often used for infectious conjunctivitis, but conjunctivitis encompasses a wide range of causes, including allergies, autoimmune conditions, and irritants. The Danger of Overwearing Contacts : Wearing contacts for too long can lead to microabrasions and severe dry eye, which may make it impossible to wear them comfortably in the future. Eye Rubbing Risks : Excessive eye rubbing can cause permanent corneal changes or even optic neuropathy in extreme cases. Gentle rubbing is okay, but moderation is key. Retinal Detachment in High Myopes : People with severe nearsightedness (high myopia) are at a greater risk of retinal detachment and should avoid high-impact activities or seek medical care if experiencing flashes, floaters, or a curtain over their vision. UV Light Protection for Cataracts : While cataracts are inevitable with age, wearing UV-blocking sunglasses can help slow their progression and reduce the risk of other eye conditions like macular degeneration and eyelid cancers. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What Is ARFID and Why Is It So Misunderstood? | Andrew (ARFID Andrew) Luber
In this episode we delve into the personal and challenging world of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) with guest Andrew Luber, known online as ARFID Andrew. Kristin shares her own experiences living with ARFID, including how it has shaped her relationship with food, social dynamics, and self-perception. Andrew adds his unique perspective, sharing his journey of trying new foods while documenting his struggles and triumphs on social media. Together, we all unpack the stigma surrounding ARFID, the challenges of navigating a food-centric culture, and the importance of raising awareness for this often misunderstood condition. Takeaways: ARFID is not picky eating —it’s a complex disorder that affects how individuals perceive and interact with food, often causing severe social and emotional challenges. Raising awareness for ARFID helps others understand the condition and reduces stigma for those living with it. Social pressure and safe environments can play a significant role in encouraging exposure to new foods for those with ARFID. Sharing personal stories , like Kristin’s and Andrew’s, can inspire others with ARFID to seek support and self-advocate. Humor and creativity can be powerful tools for spreading awareness and fostering understanding of ARFID. — Want to Learn About Andrew Luber: TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube: @Arfid_Andrew — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The Fallout of Physician Burnout : Dr. Flannery explores how declining physician reimbursements and increasing workloads are fueling burnout and compounding healthcare challenges. Diabetes and Cataract Surgery Complications : A detailed surgical case highlights how diabetes and vitrectomy history can complicate cataract removal, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.

Glauc Talk: Are Younger Physicians Less Dedicated or Just Setting Boundaries?
In this episode we reflect on the realities of balancing work, marriage, and medicine. We tackle questions on work-life balance in healthcare, debating how different generations of doctors view medicine—as a calling versus a job. We also share personal anecdotes about how we navigate life as a couple working together while also managing a family, including funny moments about bickering, learning to let go, and setting boundaries. Takeaways: Balancing work and marriage in medicine requires intentional time together, even if it's just a few minutes each day. Work-life balance is increasingly important for younger generations of doctors, challenging traditional expectations in medicine. Effective communication and mutual support are essential for partners in high-demand careers to thrive together. Generational shifts in medicine reflect changing attitudes toward work-life balance, highlighting the impact of corporatized healthcare.

What You Need to Know About Postpartum Cardiomyopathy | Lisa Schwartz
In this episode we sit down with Lisa Schwartz—content creator, author, and new mom—as she shares her intense and unexpected experience with postpartum cardiomyopathy. Lisa opens up about the frightening health scare that struck shortly after her daughter’s birth, leading to heart failure and an extended hospital stay. Through humor and honesty, she recounts the warning signs she initially dismissed, the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, and how this life-threatening condition reshaped her approach to motherhood and privacy. This episode offers valuable insights into the realities of postpartum health, patient advocacy, and the need for awareness around lesser-known maternal health issues. Takeaways: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is a rare but serious condition that can occur after childbirth, leading to heart failure and requiring immediate medical attention.

Knock Knock Eye: How Hurricane Helene Caused A Nationwide IV Fluid Shortage
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I dive into the complex world of cataract surgery, sharing an extraordinary case of a patient who had gone 15 years without cataract surgery after a vitrectomy. I reflect on the difficulties of operating on a dense, hardened cataract, discussing the intricacies of such procedures and how prior surgeries can accelerate cataract progression. Additionally, I discuss the current IV fluid shortage caused by Hurricane Helene, which damaged a major production facility in North Carolina. This shortage is impacting hospitals nationwide, affecting elective surgeries and patient care. With a mix of surgical insights, healthcare challenges, and humorous personal stories, this episode offers a captivating look at life in medicine. Takeaways: Cataracts Can Worsen After Eye Surgery : Dr. Flannery explains how cataracts progress faster in patients who have undergone a vitrectomy, emphasizing the importance of timely cataract surgery to avoid complications. Challenges of Dense Cataracts : In this episode, Dr. Flannery shares his experience with a particularly dense cataract, describing the advanced techniques required to remove it and the complexities involved when the eye’s lens is unstable. The Importance of Early Cataract Removal : Dr. Flannery highlights how cataracts become more difficult to remove as they harden over time, making early intervention crucial for better surgical outcomes. Impact of the IV Fluid Shortage : Beyond cataracts, Dr. Flannery discusses the national shortage of IV fluids, exploring how this affects elective surgeries and the broader healthcare system. Surgeons Behaving Badly : In a lighter moment, Dr. Flannery shares a story about a surgeon who used a Swiss Army knife in place of a sterile scalpel, illustrating the strange and sometimes humorous side of healthcare. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: Balancing Parenting, Household Chores, and Careers in a Medical Marriage
In this episode of Knock Knock Hi, we explore the challenges of balancing life in a medical marriage like managing household duties when both partners are running on empty. We reflect on the popular TikTok trend of "energy check-ins," where couples rate how much they have left to give at the end of the day, and whether it can work in a busy, often chaotic medical household. Adding to the fun, we dive into the lore of one of my most beloved characters—the Neurologist . I shares how the Neurologist was inspired by one of my real-life attendings, known for his intellectual superiority and sharp insults. Takeaways: Medical marriages can feel unbalanced , especially when one partner is always working long hours, which puts more household responsibilities on the other. Sleepwalking, stress, and medical careers can create unique challenges in a marriage, making communication and understanding even more important. The Neurologist’s sharp wit and expertise adds humor to the discussion of sleep and exhaustion, reminding listeners of the importance of brain health in relationships. TikTok relationship trends like “energy check-ins” might seem helpful but could backfire when both partners are constantly running on empty. Balancing a career in medicine with personal life requires patience, humor, and creativity—sometimes, even turning to social media trends for inspiration. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Child Eye Problems You Shouldn't Ignore
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I discuss important eye conditions in children that should never be ignored. From aggressive blinking and rubbing to the misalignment of eyes (strabismus), I explain how early detection of these symptoms can save a child’s vision. I also delves into congenital glaucoma, blocked tear ducts, and other common pediatric eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis. Whether you're a parent or healthcare provider, this episode provides valuable insights on protecting children's eye health. Takeaways: Blinking and Rubbing May Indicate Vision Problems : Children who frequently rub or blink their eyes aggressively may have refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, which can be corrected with early intervention. Misaligned Eyes (Strabismus) Can Lead to Vision Loss : If one of a child’s eyes is misaligned or appears "lazy," this could indicate strabismus, which, if untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss (amblyopia). Tearing in Infants Could Be a Sign of Congenital Glaucoma : Dr. Flannery explains that excessive tearing in newborns may be an early sign of congenital glaucoma, a rare but serious condition that requires immediate attention. New Spots on the Eyes Need Examination : If a new spot appears on the white of a child’s eye, it’s essential to have it examined by an ophthalmologist, as it could be a benign nevus or something more serious, like a melanoma. Difference in Pupil Size (Anisocoria) Could Be a Red Flag : A noticeable difference in pupil size in children might be an indication of an underlying condition like Horner's syndrome or other neurological issues, and should be checked by a specialist. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

How Do We Combat Health Misinformation Online? | Dr. Noc
We sit down with Dr. Noc (Morgan McSweeney, PhD), a social media influencer and expert in pharmaceutical sciences. We dive deep into how misinformation spreads on social media and the challenges scientists face when debunking it. Dr. Noc shares his insights on tackling myths around Big Pharma, drug pricing, and supplements, all while blending humor with education on platforms like TikTok. The conversation also touches on the balance between providing accurate science communication and the frustrations of dealing with online backlash. Join us for an engaging discussion on the power of science communication in an era of misinformation. Takeaways: Misinformation on social media spreads fast, and debunking it requires both patience and creative science communication. Pharmaceutical companies play a crucial role in drug development, but pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) also contribute to high drug prices and often go unnoticed. Supplements are heavily promoted on social media, often with misleading claims; most people don’t need them, and they are mostly just expensive urine. Science communicators face challenges on platforms like TikTok, where algorithms isolate videos, and context is often lost. Connecting with people emotionally can be as important as providing evidence when communicating science and health information. — Want to Learn About Dr. Noc (Morgan McSweeney, PhD): TikTok / Instagram / Facebook / Youtube: @dr.noc — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: 39th Birthday Reflections!
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I reflect on turning 39 and how my medical history—surviving testicular cancer and a cardiac arrest—shapes my outlook on life and birthdays. Along with these personal reflections, I answer insightful YouTube comments, discussing topics like vision requirements for driving and Halloween eyeball decorations. I also dive into one of the scariest eye conditions for both patients and surgeons: Endophthalmitis, a dangerous post-surgery infection. Takeaways: Endophthalmitis: The Scariest Eye Condition : Dr. Flannery explains why Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared post-surgical complications, highlighting its symptoms, treatment, and the potential for severe vision loss. Reflecting on 39th Birthday : Dr. Flannery shares how surviving cancer and a cardiac arrest has shaped his perspective on celebrating another year of life, with both joy and a lingering sense of caution. Vision and Driving Laws : Responding to YouTube comments, Dr. Flannery discusses the surprisingly lax driving vision requirements in some states, like Wisconsin, and the potential dangers this poses to road safety. Halloween Eyeballs and Fan Comments : On a lighter note, Dr. Flannery enjoys a fun conversation with fans about his obsession with Halloween eyeball decorations, especially painting pumpkins and using inflatable eyes to bring a spooky twist to ophthalmology. Balancing Life as a Doctor and Comedian : Dr. Flannery talks about juggling two careers—ophthalmology and internet comedy—and how both bring him fulfillment, especially when he gets to engage with fans and answer their questions. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: How My Biggest Social Media Mistakes Became Learning Lessons
In this episode of Glauc Talk, we dive into the chaos of a stressful morning and explore how emotional regulation can make a big difference in managing everyday challenges. I also reflect on some of my biggest social media mistakes and the lessons I learned from those controversies, offering valuable insights for others navigating the online world. The episode touches on the importance of taking a pause before reacting, handling crises calmly, and learning from missteps. Additionally, we discuss the shocking cost of helicopter medical transport and how recent legislation aims to prevent surprise billing in these situations. Tune in for humor, personal stories, and practical lessons on stress management, social media, and navigating healthcare costs. Takeaways: Take a pause before reacting to stressful situations—waiting even a few minutes can help you think more clearly and make better decisions. Learning from social media mistakes can lead to growth, both personally and professionally. Owning your mistakes is key to moving forward. Helicopter medical transport can be extremely expensive, with costs reaching as high as $68,000, though legislation like the No Surprises Act helps regulate billing. Emotional regulation plays a vital role in handling life’s unexpected challenges, from stressful mornings to bigger crises. Staying grounded through mindfulness techniques , such as deep breathing, can help manage adrenaline-fueled reactions in high-pressure situations. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Worst Case Eye Problems: Cornea
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I focus on one of the scariest eye conditions for your cornea: Acanthamoeba keratitis. This rare but serious infection is particularly frightening for contact lens wearers, as it can lead to severe pain, long-term vision problems, and a difficult treatment process. I break down why this infection is so dangerous, how it impacts the cornea, and offers important advice on how to prevent it. Learn why Acanthamoeba keratitis is a nightmare for your cornea and how to protect your vision. Takeaways: Acanthamoeba Keratitis Is Rare but Serious : This infection occurs when a protozoa, commonly found in water, invades the cornea, causing severe pain and long-term damage. Contacts and Water Don’t Mix : Wearing contact lenses in water, whether in pools, hot tubs, or even showers, significantly increases the risk of developing Acanthamoeba keratitis. Pain Out of Proportion to Symptoms : A common sign of Acanthamoeba keratitis is severe eye pain, often much worse than what doctors can see in a standard eye exam. Long, Complex Treatment : Treating Acanthamoeba keratitis can take months, sometimes requiring multiple medications and even corneal transplants in severe cases. Prevention Is Key : The best way to avoid Acanthamoeba keratitis is to keep your contact lenses away from any water source, and always use proper contact lens solution for cleaning and storage. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Why Do Medical Students Have So Much Test Anxiety? | Dr. Jessi Gold
We sit down with Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist and Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee system. We dive into the challenges of managing wellness for over 80,000 students and faculty across five campuses, the complexities of test anxiety in medical education, and the evolving definition of burnout in healthcare. Dr. Gold also shares insights on the impact of perfectionism and competition in pre-med culture, and how these pressures contribute to long-term stress and burnout. Tune in for an in-depth conversation on mental health, wellness, and the steps healthcare systems can take to support students and professionals. Takeaways: Test anxiety is a major issue for medical students, often leading to physical symptoms such as nausea and sleeplessness, and it persists throughout their training. Burnout is a widespread problem in healthcare and higher education, but it’s often misunderstood and used as a catch-all term for workplace stress. The role of a Chief Wellness Officer involves addressing both mental health and overall well-being across multiple domains, such as emotional, physical, and financial health. Perfectionism and competition begin early in pre-med culture and are significant contributors to stress, leading to burnout later in medical training and practice. Removing high-stakes test scores , like with the shift to pass/fail systems, can create new forms of competition, such as requiring more research or extracurricular achievements to stand out. — Want to Learn About Dr. Jessi Gold: X / Instagram / TikTok / Threads: @drjessigold Preorder Dr. Gold's book! https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-Do-You-Feel/Jessi-Gold/9781982199777 — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Can You Believe These States' Driving Vision Requirements?
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I uncover the surprising and sometimes shocking differences in vision requirements for drivers across the U.S. Find out which states are the worst when it comes to lax vision standards for drivers and why you might want to be extra cautious on the roads in those areas. I also tackle common questions about the safety of Halloween costume contact lenses and offers eye care tips to keep your vision healthy. From costume safety to dangerous driving states, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss. Takeaways: The Worst States to Drive with Vision Impairments : Dr. Flannery ranks the five U.S. states with the most relaxed vision requirements for drivers, revealing alarming standards that may put other drivers at risk. Importance of Peripheral Vision for Driving : Many states lack sufficient peripheral vision requirements for drivers, even though peripheral vision is crucial for road safety and detecting potential hazards. Costume Contact Lens Risks : Halloween costume contact lenses, especially when bought online, can be dangerous, leading to corneal abrasions or infections if they don’t fit properly or are worn for too long. The Importance of Proper Contact Lens Fitting : Contact lenses, including cosmetic ones, must fit properly to avoid damage to the eye, and seeing an eye doctor before wearing them is the safest route. An Update on Kyle Van Noy’s Eye Injury : The episode revisits the update on NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy’s orbital fracture and the incredibly fast response time of an ophthalmologist, setting a high bar for on-call medical services. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Glauc Talk: Doctors Have Strong Opinions About Scrubs in Public
In this episode of Glauc Talk, we discuss the ins and outs of flying cross-country for medical conferences and the challenges of balancing travel with keynote speaking. We explore the quirky yet contentious debate of whether doctors should wear scrubs in public, sharing their own experiences and differing opinions on the topic. The episode is packed with humorous stories about early morning keynote presentations, conference dynamics, and the life of a traveling physician. Join them for laughs, insights, and an inside look at the lighter side of medical conferences. Takeaways: Traveling for medical conferences can be exhausting, especially when flying cross-country and dealing with time zone changes. Medical conferences often start early to ensure audience participation, especially for keynotes that aim to attract attendees to exhibit halls. Wearing scrubs in public is a debated topic among healthcare professionals, with some feeling self-conscious about the perception of cleanliness. Scrubs aren’t always "dirty" —especially for doctors in specialties like ophthalmology—but the stigma around wearing them outside of the hospital persists. Being funny early in the morning is a challenge for keynote speakers at medical conferences, but humor is crucial in engaging a sleepy audience. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: Kyle Van Noy's Orbital Fracture: Where Was the Eye Doctor?
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I discuss the recent injury of NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who suffered an orbital fracture during a game. Van Noy criticized the time it took for an eye doctor to reach him in the locker room, but I offer a behind-the-scenes look at why this might not be as shocking as it seems. From the logistics of getting an ophthalmologist to a stadium to understanding orbital fractures, this episode dives into the complexities of eye injuries in professional sports and what we can learn from this unusual situation. Takeaways: The Logistics of Eye Care in Sports : Kyle Van Noy’s injury highlighted the challenge of quickly accessing specialized care, like ophthalmologists, during professional sports events, which can take longer than expected for specific injuries. The Dangers of Eye Subluxation : Eye subluxation, where the eyelids get trapped behind the eyeball, can occur in conditions like severe thyroid eye disease. This rare and serious condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent vision loss. Gene Therapy for Inherited Eye Diseases : The episode briefly touches on advancements in gene therapy for rare conditions like Leber congenital amaurosis, offering hope for patients with inherited retinal diseases as groundbreaking treatments become more available. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Knock Knock Eye: What Led to the Wrong Organ Being Removed in Surgery?
In this episode of Knock Knock Eye , I dive into the terrifying world of "never events" — surgical mistakes that should never happen. From stories of operating on the wrong eye to the shocking case of a surgeon removing a liver instead of a spleen, I explore how these catastrophic errors occur, despite the safeguards in place. I also discuss my own experiences in the operating room and the importance of meticulous safety protocols. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on medical errors and how to prevent them. Takeaways: Understanding Never Events : The episode dives deep into the concept of "never events," which are serious medical errors that should never happen, such as operating on the wrong body part or removing the wrong organ. A Shocking Real-Life Case : The episode covers a disturbing case where a surgeon in Florida mistakenly removed a patient's liver instead of their spleen, highlighting how even in modern medicine, catastrophic errors can happen. Vasovagal Reactions and Their Prevalence : Dr. Flannery discusses vasovagal reactions, a common response to certain triggers in the medical setting, like eye exams or injections, where patients may faint or experience dizziness. The Role of the Surgeon as the Last Line of Defense : The episode underscores how surgeons, as the final checkpoint, are responsible for catching any potential errors, such as verifying the correct lens during cataract surgery or ensuring they’re operating on the correct eye. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
