  • "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.

  • Knock Knock Eye: How Diabetic Retinopathy Changes Vision Forever

    Knock Knock Eye: How Diabetic Retinopathy Changes Vision Forever
    Nov 21 2024
    In this episode I share my jet-lagged reflections after speaking at the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative Symposium. As an ambassador for the initiative, I discuss the fight against diabetic retinopathy, the most common cause of vision loss in people with diabetes, and the ongoing advancements in diagnostics and treatments. I also address your questions, including the challenges of astigmatism, the discomfort of modern headlights, and long-term effects of nystagmus. Takeaways: Diabetic Retinopathy Is a Leading Cause of Vision Loss: Dr. Flannery explains how diabetes damages the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to blindness if untreated, and highlights the importance of early detection. Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative: This nonprofit is advancing research and treatment options for diabetic retinopathy, focusing on reducing the devastating impact of this disease. Astigmatism and Night Driving: Dr. Flannery discusses the challenges astigmatism poses, especially with modern LED headlights, and highlights solutions like glasses, contact lenses, and specialized intraocular lenses. Nystagmus and Eye Movement: He explains why people with congenital nystagmus often don’t perceive the motion of their eyes and debunks concerns about long-term damage from constant eye movement. The Power of Advocacy: Through his work with the Mary Tyler Moore initiative and engaging with fans, Dr. Flannery emphasizes the importance of education and community in addressing preventable vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Glauc Talk: Celebrating 100 Episodes with Old Person Smell!

    Glauc Talk: Celebrating 100 Episodes with Old Person Smell!
    Nov 19 2024
    In this milestone 100th episode of Knock Knock Hi, we celebrate with laughter, personal stories, and a nostalgic look back at our journey together. We reflect on the highs and lows of creating a podcast, from navigating the challenges of working as a couple to taking about our live show on tour and learning about healthcare policy. I share tales of my Texas football days, complete with Pokemon breaks and my infamous “big hit of the week” story. We also get into the hot topic of “old person smell,” which will surely bring you joy! Takeaways: Celebrating a 100-episode journey is a chance to reflect on lessons learned, including healthcare policy insights, personal growth, and new perspectives. Working together as a couple has its ups and downs, but it’s rewarding to share laughter and see each other in new roles. Live shows in smaller markets can bring as much enthusiasm, if not more, than larger cities—a highlight of touring for the Glockenfleckens. Topics like "scrubs in public" and "old person smell" show that humor can bring a lighter side to healthcare discussions. Looking back brings unexpected memories, like Will’s middle school football days, Pokemon breaks, and the rise of the podcast community. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • Knock Knock Eye: Ophthalmology Call Week: Unique Consults and Complex Cases

    Knock Knock Eye: Ophthalmology Call Week: Unique Consults and Complex Cases
    Nov 14 2024
    In this episode I give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at my call week as a private practice ophthalmologist. With a mix of routine calls and complex cases, I go into unexpected consults for Kaiser-Fleischer rings related to Wilson's disease, diagnosing giant cell arteritis, and managing diplopia with no clear cause. I also share my diagnostic process for distinguishing between common post-surgery floaters and more serious retinal issues. For anyone curious about the daily challenges of eye care on call, this episode offers both humor and insight into the life of an ophthalmologist. Takeaways: Kaiser-Fleischer Rings and Wilson's Disease: Dr. Flanary shares a rare consult for a Kaiser-Fleischer ring to help diagnose possible Wilson’s disease, highlighting the role of ophthalmologists in identifying systemic conditions through eye exams. Floaters After Cataract Surgery: He discusses common post-surgery floaters and the importance of differentiating them from signs of retinal detachment, which may require urgent attention. Giant Cell Arteritis and Vision Loss: A past patient with biopsy-negative giant cell arteritis raises questions on how best to assess for potential vision-threatening conditions and the typical diagnostic approach for such cases. Diagnostic Process for Diplopia: Dr. Flanary walks through his approach to a challenging case of double vision (diplopia), outlining potential causes from cranial nerve palsies to myasthenia gravis and thyroid eye disease. The Life of On-Call Ophthalmology: Balancing sleep disruptions, complex patient calls, and intricate diagnoses, Dr. Flanary shares the ups and downs of ophthalmology on call, giving a humorous and realistic view of the role. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
