Sobre este áudio

 "Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens" dives into the highs, lows, and WTFs of healthcare. Whether you're in the medical field, live with a healthcare worker, or broke your arm once and are still paying off your medical bills, this is a must-listen. Join Will and Kristin Flanary (aka the Glaucomfleckens) for candid chats with leading healthcare voices like Dr. Mike and Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. Discover fun facts about eyeballs, hear relatable stories from medical training, and sneak a peek into the U.S. health insurance industry (spoiler alert: it's not great!). We'll share our own perspectives of being a patient or family member experiencing the healthcare system. And, of course, we explore the question on everyone's minds: "Why has Dr. Glaucomflecken never had his eyes dilated?" Combining science with humor and a dash of snark, we unpack the human side of healthcare.Copyright 2022 All rights reserved. Doença Física Higiene e Vida Saudável

  • Knock Knock Eye: United Health Group CEO Stepped Down. The Stock Fell. My Mood Improved.

    Knock Knock Eye: United Health Group CEO Stepped Down. The Stock Fell. My Mood Improved.
    May 22 2025
    I was going to talk about corneas. Just a nice, focused anatomy deep dive. But then I found out UnitedHealthcare’s stock is down 20% and—what can I say? I got distracted by joy. So before we dig into layers of corneal meat (yes, I said that), we take a little detour into vertical integration, kickbacks, AI claim denials, and how a multi-billion-dollar behemoth is finally catching a whiff of accountability. Then it’s back to business: corneal nerves, LASIK, ulcers, transplant techniques, the great “your corneas are too thin” letdown, and why you should stop sleeping in your contact lenses. Also, I may have created a dating strategy that involves casually name-dropping Descemet’s membrane. You're welcome. Takeaways: UnitedHealth Took a Hit—And I Took a Victory Lap. Their CEO is stepping down. Their stock is down. Their karma might finally be catching up. I am… not sad. Your Cornea Is Clear for a Reason—Until It’s Not. It doesn’t have blood vessels. It doesn’t heal like skin. And when it gets cloudy, things get gross, fast. LASIK Isn’t for Everyone. Here’s Why Your Eye Got Rejected. If you’ve ever been told your cornea is “too thin,” I’m here to explain why—and yes, it’s as mathy as it sounds. Yes, I Called It ‘Corneal Meat.’ No, I’m Not Sorry. It’s the stroma. It’s thick. It’s important. And now you’re never going to un-hear that phrase. Please Stop Sleeping in Your Contacts. I’m Begging. Because you like seeing. And because I don’t want to have to dig bacteria out of your eyeball. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • We’re Burnt Out on Burnout Training | Dr. Jillian Horton

    We’re Burnt Out on Burnout Training | Dr. Jillian Horton
    May 20 2025
    If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the word “wellness,” same. But this week, we sat down with Dr. Jillian Horton—physician, author, speaker, and actual expert on burnout and fulfillment—to talk about what wellness actually means… and why most organizations keep getting it very, very wrong. We talk about the burnout industrial complex, how “pizza-based wellness” is hurting morale more than helping, and why fulfillment might be a better goal than happiness. Jillian also shares why young doctors are reevaluating what medicine should look like—and how calling it a “calling” is sometimes just a fancy way to underpay you. Also: medical comedy fellowship, anyone? Takeaways: What even is wellness anymore? And why does it feel like another task? Pizza is not a wellness plan. Especially if it comes with mandatory attendance. Burnout isn’t your fault. But you’re probably being told it is. Jillian introduces us to the Stanford Fulfillment Model—and it actually makes sense. Humor isn’t just a coping tool—it’s resistance, connection, and sometimes survival. — Want more Dr. Jillian Horton: Twitter / Bluesky / IG: @jillianhortonMD To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Knock Knock Eye: I Survived the U.S. Healthcare System. Barely.

    Knock Knock Eye: I Survived the U.S. Healthcare System. Barely.
    May 15 2025
    Five years ago this month, I died. I mean, not for long—but long enough. In this episode, I talk about it. The cardiac arrest. The four-year curse. The memory gaps. The part where Kristen saved my life on a mattress, then got told I was “end of life” and left in a hospital hallway with no cell service. I don’t usually get into this on the podcast, but it’s time. I also talk about what it’s like to return to clinic too soon, what empathy fatigue feels like when it hits you mid-exam, and why Australia’s healthcare system makes me want to scream and cry and hug a Medicare card. Oh, and yes, I checked—I did not get a single ophthalmology consult while hospitalized. Rude. Takeaways: I Gave the Saddest Talk in Australia—and They Thanked Me for It. Nothing like telling an entire country of surgeons: "Whatever the U.S. does, do the opposite." We’ve Got Trauma. We’ve Got Memory Loss. We’ve Got... Thai Food? My hippocampus was out to lunch, but at least I wasn’t. Shoutout to solo dinners in Sydney. Cardiac Arrest Might’ve Been the Easy Part. Kristen had to do chest compressions. Then fight a hospital. Then explain to our kids why Dad was suddenly gone. Empathy Fatigue is Real. And It’s Ugly. I went back to work too soon. And I knew it the moment I got irrationally annoyed by dry eye complaints. I Think My Wife Asked for Artificial Tears While I Was in the ICU. I can't prove this, but it feels on brand. I’ll confirm and get back to you. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
