"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: Is Your Doctor Secretly Hoping You Stay Sick?
This week, Kristin and I tackle one of the most frustrating—and frankly absurd—things we’ve seen online in a while: the claim that doctors want people to stay sick just so we can make more money. Yup, that’s a real thing someone said, and it sparked a Twitter firestorm. We’re diving into the bizarre world of social media influencers who spread medical misinformation with the confidence of a med school dropout turned life coach. If you’ve ever wanted to yell into the void, this episode’s for you.
Takeaways:
A viral tweet suggests doctors profit from keeping people sick—let’s unpack that.
Social media influencers keep handing out medical advice... without the medicine.
I weigh in on a Twitter fight that escalated faster than a tachycardic code blue.
We explore why people are quick to believe doctors are villains.
Misinformation is funnier when you realize how confident people are while being completely wrong.
