"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: What Could Possibly Unite America?
What if the only thing that could truly unite this country was our collective rage at health insurance companies? This week, I’m handing out my best social media survival advice (step one: don’t get fired), sharing the rare thrill of bringing vision back from the brink, and digging into why bloody tears are a real thing. Plus, we’ll talk colorblindness, cataracts, and maybe even which of your five senses deserves the top spot.
Takeaways:
Why your social media “private” posts might not be so private after all.
The miraculous patient journey from hand-motion vision to 20/50 and why it made me tear up.
How colorblindness sneaks through generations and why it seems to “skip.”
The surprisingly spooky truth about crying blood.
Why ophthalmology isn’t just eyeballs, it’s politics, insurance, and joy all rolled into one.
