Sobre este título

 "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 2026 All rights reserved. Doença Física Higiene e Vida Saudável

  • Knock Knock Eye: Why Elon Musk’s MRI Tweet Made Every Doctor Roll Their Eyes

    Knock Knock Eye: Why Elon Musk’s MRI Tweet Made Every Doctor Roll Their Eyes
    Jan 8 2026
    In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I start by breaking down Elon Musk’s latest medical hot take. The idea that everyone should get a yearly full-body MRI interpreted by AI. Then I talk about why I finally said screw it and paid cash for my own medical care after insurance insisted my testicles might have magically regenerated. And finally, a mystery case that starts as blurry vision and floaters and ends with one of the rarest eye cancers we see: primary vitreoretinal lymphoma. It’s a diagnosis so uncommon that even ophthalmologists joke it’s a unicorn, but this patient had the real thing, and the outcome might surprise you. Takeaways: Why Elon’s “everyone needs an annual full-body MRI” idea collapses the moment you ask, “Okay… and then what?” How insurance companies can deny treatment you’ve been on for years and why cash pay sometimes feels like freedom. The subtle signs that blurred vision and floaters might be something far more serious than posterior uveitis. Why diagnosing primary vitreoretinal lymphoma requires suspicion, surgery, and a pathologist who knows what they’re looking for. How aggressive treatment, including injecting chemotherapy directly into the eye, salvaged this patient’s vision and kept cancer from spreading.

  • How Does EMS Actually Work Behind the Scenes? with Jason Peng & Joe Stoffolano

    How Does EMS Actually Work Behind the Scenes? with Jason Peng & Joe Stoffolano
    Jan 6 2026
    This week, Kristin and I talk with Jason Pang, Director of EMS, and Joe Stoffolano, Division Chief of Community Risk Reduction in Miami Township, Ohio. These guys take us deep into the world of pre-hospital medicine. We’re talking how EMS is funded, why those funding streams vanish, the future of EMS, and much more. We also break down how 911 dispatch actually works, how EMS decides what units to send, why response times vary so wildly across the country, and why dispatchers are the unsung heroes of every medical emergency. If you’ve ever wondered what really happens before a patient hits the hospital doors, or why EMS systems are constantly fighting to stay funded, this is the episode. Takeaways: Why property taxes are the backbone of EMS and what scary legislation could wipe out funding overnight. How pre-hospital blood transfusions actually work, who gets them, and why they’re becoming a game-changer. What a lateral canthotomy in a helicopter looks like, and why an 11-blade scalpel is not invited. The emotional weight of dispatchers, and why they’re the only person with you during the worst 10 minutes of your life. Why EMS is “an ER on wheels”, and how they juggle advanced medicine, unpredictable environments, and community expectations. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Knock Knock Eye: Why Does Hollywood Keep Getting Eyeballs Wrong?

    Knock Knock Eye: Why Does Hollywood Keep Getting Eyeballs Wrong?
    Jan 2 2026
    Hollywood, we need to talk. If one more movie shows an eyeball dangling from someone’s cheek, I might start mailing anatomy textbooks to Los Angeles. And while we’re at it, can we please stop calling every wandering eye a “lazy eye”? After a quick rant about my personal ophthalmology pet peeves, I dive into one of the strangest mystery cases I’ve ever seen: a 47-year-old with sudden, complete ophthalmoplegia and normal imaging. Negative myasthenia testing, normal pupils, normal MRI, nothing made sense until one very specific antibody came back positive. Takeaways: Why “lazy eye” rarely means what people think it means and what the term actually refers to. The Hollywood eyeball trope that needs to be banned forever (optical nerves are short, folks). How a patient with zero eye movement and a normal MRI sent us searching for rare neuro clues. Why myasthenia gravis seemed like the obvious answer until every serology test came back negative. The surprising role a GI infection can play in triggering Miller Fisher syndrome, the rare Guillain-Barré variant that ultimately cracked the case.
