  • Sumário

  • "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.

  • Glauc Talk | Patients Say Unexpected Things Under Sedation
    Feb 18 2025
    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?
    Feb 13 2025
    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. Flannery 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)!

  • How Does an Olympic Gold Medalist Balance Medicine and Hockey? | Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser
    Feb 11 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser—Olympic gold medalist, NHL executive, and emergency medicine physician talks about how her experience as a professional athlete prepared her for the high-stakes world of medicine and how she balances working in emergency medicine with her role with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Takeaways: Balancing two demanding careers—Dr. Wickenheiser manages a full-time role in the NHL while working shifts in emergency medicine. Sports and medicine share common skills, such as teamwork, resilience, and handling high-pressure situations. Transitioning from sports to medicine required discipline and adaptability, traits she developed as a professional athlete. Emergency medicine provides flexibility, allowing her to maintain both her passion for hockey and a career in healthcare. The importance of mentorship and role models, especially for women in both sports and medicine, is crucial to success. We have an active survey going.
