About this listen

 "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. Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease

    Glauc Talk: Chemotherapy Drugs 101: The Messiest Crash Course Ever
    Sep 23 2025
    I’ve been to a lot of medical conferences, but veterinary medicine conferences are different. Picture me, a human ophthalmologist, standing in front of a thousand vets, showing them photos of my dog Milo’s eyes (because why not?). Turns out, they loved it and then immediately called me out for doing the exact thing they can’t stand about human doctors. Oops. Kristin and I also get into the strange overlap between vet medicine and human medicine (yes, the cardiologists still argue), why ER veterinarians might actually have the hardest job in medicine, and how I managed to accidentally do the very thing vets complain about most. And if that’s not enough, we dive headfirst into a Twitter firestorm about whether doctors should ever “Google it” in front of patients, plus a surprise crash course in chemotherapy drugs straight from my med school review book. Takeaways: Vet vs. Human Medicine – The personalities are eerily similar… but vets may have the tougher gig. The Milo Moment – How my dog’s eyesight became the star of my keynote. Human Doctor Problem – Why vets roll their eyes when we try to flex our “expertise” in their clinics. Googling in the Exam Room – The controversial tweet that sparked a million opinions. Chemotherapy 101 – A chaotic but oddly fascinating attempt to explain cancer drugs on the fly. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

    Why Do Some GI Problems Hide from Every Test? | Bendy Bodies Bonus Episode
    Sep 22 2025
    In honor of Pain Awareness Month, we’re excited to share an episode from one of our favorite healthcare podcasts, “Bendy Bodies with Dr. Linda Bluestein.” In this recent interview, Dr. Bluestein sat down with Dr. Zach Spiritos, a neurogastroenterologist, to explore why gastrointestinal problems in hypermobile patients can be so difficult to detect with standard testing (and what patients and providers can do to find better answers and relief). Listen to more episodes of “Bendy Bodies with Dr. Linda Bluestein” wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube. https://link.chtbl.com/bendybodies3 Bendy Bodies, alongside Knock Knock Hi with the Glaucomfleckens, is a proud part of the Human Content Podcast Network Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Knock Knock Eye: Sympathetic Ophthalmia: The Rare Eye Disease I Hope Never to See

    Knock Knock Eye: Sympathetic Ophthalmia: The Rare Eye Disease I Hope Never to See
    Sep 18 2025
    What happens when your immune system suddenly decides your eye is the enemy? This week I’m diving into one of ophthalmology’s rarest (and frankly scariest) condition, sympathetic ophthalmia. Plus, I’m talking GLP-1 miracle drugs, why residency feels like a soul-draining black hole, and whether med school should really be shorter. And yes, we’re also testing which of your eyeballs is the boss. Takeaways: The strange and unsettling reality of sympathetic ophthalmia and why I hope never to see it in clinic. Why GLP-1 drugs come with both groundbreaking benefits and tricky questions about eye health. How residency manages to crush enthusiasm… and whether you can climb back out. The eternal debate: shorten med school or just lower the tuition? Eye dominance, cataract surgery, and why one of your eyeballs secretly calls the shots. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
