I was going to talk about corneas. Just a nice, focused anatomy deep dive. But then I found out UnitedHealthcare’s stock is down 20% and—what can I say? I got distracted by joy. So before we dig into layers of corneal meat (yes, I said that), we take a little detour into vertical integration, kickbacks, AI claim denials, and how a multi-billion-dollar behemoth is finally catching a whiff of accountability. Then it’s back to business: corneal nerves, LASIK, ulcers, transplant techniques, the great “your corneas are too thin” letdown, and why you should stop sleeping in your contact lenses. Also, I may have created a dating strategy that involves casually name-dropping Descemet’s membrane. You're welcome.
Takeaways:
UnitedHealth Took a Hit—And I Took a Victory Lap.
Their CEO is stepping down. Their stock is down. Their karma might finally be catching up. I am… not sad.
Your Cornea Is Clear for a Reason—Until It’s Not.
It doesn’t have blood vessels. It doesn’t heal like skin. And when it gets cloudy, things get gross, fast.
LASIK Isn’t for Everyone. Here’s Why Your Eye Got Rejected.
If you’ve ever been told your cornea is “too thin,” I’m here to explain why—and yes, it’s as mathy as it sounds.
Yes, I Called It ‘Corneal Meat.’ No, I’m Not Sorry.
It’s the stroma. It’s thick. It’s important. And now you’re never going to un-hear that phrase.
Please Stop Sleeping in Your Contacts. I’m Begging.
Because you like seeing. And because I don’t want to have to dig bacteria out of your eyeball.

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the word “wellness,” same. But this week, we sat down with Dr. Jillian Horton—physician, author, speaker, and actual expert on burnout and fulfillment—to talk about what wellness actually means… and why most organizations keep getting it very, very wrong.
We talk about the burnout industrial complex, how “pizza-based wellness” is hurting morale more than helping, and why fulfillment might be a better goal than happiness. Jillian also shares why young doctors are reevaluating what medicine should look like—and how calling it a “calling” is sometimes just a fancy way to underpay you.
Also: medical comedy fellowship, anyone?
Takeaways:
What even is wellness anymore? And why does it feel like another task?
Pizza is not a wellness plan. Especially if it comes with mandatory attendance.
Burnout isn’t your fault. But you’re probably being told it is.
Jillian introduces us to the Stanford Fulfillment Model—and it actually makes sense.
Humor isn’t just a coping tool—it’s resistance, connection, and sometimes survival.

Five years ago this month, I died. I mean, not for long—but long enough. In this episode, I talk about it. The cardiac arrest. The four-year curse. The memory gaps. The part where Kristen saved my life on a mattress, then got told I was “end of life” and left in a hospital hallway with no cell service. I don’t usually get into this on the podcast, but it’s time. I also talk about what it’s like to return to clinic too soon, what empathy fatigue feels like when it hits you mid-exam, and why Australia’s healthcare system makes me want to scream and cry and hug a Medicare card. Oh, and yes, I checked—I did not get a single ophthalmology consult while hospitalized. Rude.
Takeaways:
I Gave the Saddest Talk in Australia—and They Thanked Me for It.
Nothing like telling an entire country of surgeons: "Whatever the U.S. does, do the opposite."
We’ve Got Trauma. We’ve Got Memory Loss. We’ve Got... Thai Food?
My hippocampus was out to lunch, but at least I wasn’t. Shoutout to solo dinners in Sydney.
Cardiac Arrest Might’ve Been the Easy Part.
Kristen had to do chest compressions. Then fight a hospital. Then explain to our kids why Dad was suddenly gone.
Empathy Fatigue is Real. And It’s Ugly.
I went back to work too soon. And I knew it the moment I got irrationally annoyed by dry eye complaints.
I Think My Wife Asked for Artificial Tears While I Was in the ICU.
I can't prove this, but it feels on brand. I’ll confirm and get back to you.

Five years ago, my heart stopped. And this week’s episode is about what it’s been like to live with that anniversary hanging in the air.
Kristin and I talk through how the week felt, what’s changed in the five year, and what hasn’t. We talk about the weird guilt of surviving, the unexpected joy of ordinary days, and how “the trauma anniversary” messes with your brain in ways even a cardiologist can’t predict.
No characters this week. No insurance rants. Just two people who went through something massive—and are still figuring out what to do with it.
Lt Gregg shoe and Blog post
https://glaucomflecken.com/lockdown-love-and-life-saving-cpr-a-mothers-day-to-remember/
Takeaways:
The day feels weird—not sad, not happy, just… off.
Kristin shares what it’s like to carry the memory of doing CPR on your spouse.
Will opens up about the strange weight of surviving something you don’t remember.
No code blue this time—but lots of reflection and some unexpected laughs.
It’s not about closure. It’s about honoring the mess.

I started this week by crying with the internet and ended it by confiscating eye drops from unsuspecting patients, which is honestly peak ophthalmologist behavior. In this episode, I walk through a mystery case that showed up in my clinic (spoiler: droopy eyelids are rarely simple), explain why “clear eyes” doesn’t actually mean clear eyes, and rant about fake homeopathic drops pretending to treat pink eye. I also reflect on what it’s like to head to Australia and tell a room full of surgeons why they absolutely should not copy our U.S. healthcare system. Oh—and there's a guy with a literal flashlight eye prosthesis, and I think I’m in love.
Takeaways:
Your Redness Relief Eye Drops Are Lying to You.
If I took your bottle of Visine away, it’s because I like you—and I want you to stop putting menthol-laced lies directly onto your corneas.
Droopy Eyelid? Might Be Nothing. Might Be Neurology.
One eyelid. One confusing pupil. Zero time to guess wrong. This one kept me thinking longer than it should’ve.
Homeopathic Eye Drops: Tap Water with a Fancy Label.
Just because it sounds gentle doesn’t mean it works. And yes, I have an actual drawer of confiscated drops at work.
I’m Telling the Australians Everything.
They asked me to talk about U.S. healthcare. I packed my "No UnitedHealthcare" scrub cap. Pray for them.
The Flashlight Eye Prosthesis Changed My Life.
This guy engineered a Terminator-style prosthetic that literally lights up—and somehow, that was not even the weirdest part of my week.

This episode started with a haircut and somehow ended with me reenacting testicular anatomy, suggesting Jonathan join OnlyFans, and possibly getting sued by a health insurance company. So... par for the course.
Kristin and I cover everything from haircut inflation and pink taxes to our high school pranks involving fake blindness (yes, I know). We also dive into a wild, and honestly kind of satisfying, $421 million verdict against Blue Cross for approving breast cancer surgeries and then refusing to pay for them. And yes, of course, they paid for their executive wives' treatments. Of course they did.
Also—Testicular Cancer Awareness Month just wrapped, so I walk you through the anatomy, physiology, and life consequences of losing both testicles. It’s personal, it’s weirdly educational, and no, the “middle piece” of sperm still doesn’t have a clear job description.
Oh, and we may or may not have created a new character: the Emotional Support Drape™.
Takeaways:
I got charged over $100 for a haircut I could’ve done myself—Kristin was not surprised.
We explore which of my characters would do best on OnlyFans (and we learned too much about Ortho Bro).
A jury awarded $421 million to a cancer center Blue Cross ghosted—yes, we cheered.
I got testicular cancer twice and somehow it’s still the least weird part of this episode.
Medical licensing books don’t prepare you for marriage, cancer, or testosterone loss. Ask us how we know.

Ever had to wait 45 minutes in the lobby just to wait another 30 in the exam room while imagining your doctor is in the back watching YouTube? In this episode, I break down what’s really going on behind the scenes of a chaotic clinic day—and no, it’s not lunch. Plus, a very satisfying rant about healthcare corporatization, a strangely relaxing moment involving blood in the eye (someone else’s, not mine), and an update on Arkansas doing something good (I know, I’m surprised too). I also ask an important question: is it fair to say sneezing too hard might ruin your vision? Yes. Yes, it is.
Takeaways:
If I Could Wire My Brain to Every Patient’s Brain, I Would.
But since that tech doesn’t exist, here’s a 45-minute explainer on why your wait time is not me scrolling TikTok in a break room.
Private Equity, Insurance Companies, and the Slow Death of My Schedule.
Who’s really making your doctor run behind? Spoiler: it’s not your doctor.
Arkansas Just Did Something Cool? I’m Shook.
Finally, some legislation that takes aim at PBMs. Can we get 49 more of these, please?
Sneezing Shouldn’t Break Your Eye… But It Might.
A 24-year-old. A sudden cloud in his vision. And the diagnosis I didn’t expect to make until he mentioned allergy season.
Yes, There Was Blood. But Only a Thimbleful.
Ophthalmology is rarely a bloody field. But when it is, it gets… weirdly poetic.

Okay, so I made one comment about Kristin’s coffee-making skills and instantly became the villain. And then she replaced me—with Family Medicine. Like, actually replaced me. For an entire segment.
This episode, we talk about the real heartbreak behind Medicare's decision not to cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss and diabetes, and the wider implications for access, affordability, and the ongoing “just exercise more” narrative that’s exhausting all of us. Spoiler: we’re not fans of weaponized personal responsibility.
Then Family Medicine makes his podcast debut, and wow—he has some things to get off his chest. Like being overworked, underappreciated, and constantly asked to “clear” patients for cataract surgery. (Which isn’t a thing. Please stop saying it’s a thing.)
We close things out with a conversation about burnout, respect, weighted blankets, and fermented Texaco antibiotics. You know, just a normal Tuesday.
Takeaways:
I mentioned Kristin’s coffee grounds and now I’m banned from caffeine commentary.
GLP-1 meds aren’t being covered by Medicare anymore, and it’s as infuriating as you’d expect.
Family Medicine is here. He’s tired. And he’s not “clearing” anyone for anything.
If you don’t think all doctors are burned out, you’re not paying attention.
We might’ve created a new mascot: Emotional Support Drape™.

I don’t cry often. Not because I’m especially tough—more because medicine does a pretty good job training that out of you. But sometimes? It happens. In this episode, I walk through four times I cried as a doctor (yes, one of them involves Rugrats), what led up to those moments, and what came after. There’s also a side quest into diagnosing The Sandlot’s Mr. Myrtle, a few shoutouts to comment-section philosophers, and some thoughts on whether it’s even worth debating people who think vaccines contain nanobots. So yeah, a little bit of everything.
Takeaways:
Some Stories Stay with You. Some Break You Open.
A patient. A family. A sound you can’t unhear. It was week two of med school rotations, and I still think about it 15 years later.
Residency Will Humble You—Sometimes Publicly.
One attending. Two missed steps. Twenty minutes of educational humiliation in front of the entire department. I held it together… until I didn’t.
What’s Worse Than Getting Diagnosed with Cancer Again?
Getting that news and then getting paged for a bilateral open globe trauma five minutes later. Yep, that happened.
The Rugrats Made Me Cry. Between Patients. In Clinic.
If you don’t tear up when Chucky says, “She’s in the flowers,” you might already be in the flowers. I'm just saying.
I Diagnosed the Blind Guy in The Sandlot. Of Course I Did.
Was it glaucoma? Optic nerve trauma? A bizarre case of Hollywood medicine? Yes. Also: yes, my children left the room.

So this episode started with a Reddit post about a guy who thinks his poop smells like his patients’ poop... and I wish I could say it gets less weird from there, but no—it really doesn’t.
Kristin and I spiral into the science (and total lack of science) behind smell memory, hospital food, and whether we’re all just walking around slowly absorbing our work environments.
Spoiler: if you're in ophthalmology, congrats—you’re mostly scent-neutral. Unless you've ever used a slit lamp on someone mid-GI crisis.
I also revisit 30 Days of Healthcare and question a few of my creative choices (including a weird little sketch about fixing healthcare with just vibes and prior auths). And because I clearly haven’t suffered enough, we open up the brand new First Aid for Step 1 (2025 edition) and test how much I remember from med school. It’s… not great.
Takeaways:
There’s a Reddit post you can’t unread—and now we all have Deja P.
We may be slowly absorbing our patients… through scent.
Kristin puts Will’s med school knowledge to the test. It does not go well.
Sneeze guards: good for spit, better for smell trauma.
We’re trying to make medical education funny again. Starting with capitation. And poop.

What do 19th-century vampires, corneal scarring, and rampant chlamydia have in common? Possibly more than you'd think. I Nosferatu and spiraled (in a good way) into diagnosing one of film’s creepiest figures using real ophthalmology. Along the way, I breaks down the leading causes of corneal blindness, unpack the wild world of corneal transplants, and imagine what kind of eye care Nosferartu might’ve needed in his castle.
Takeaways:
He May Be Immortal, But His Corneas Are Not:
Nosferatu’s cloudy eyes raise some very real medical questions—and Dr. Flanary can’t let it go.
Not All Corneal Scarring Comes from Contact Lenses:
What causes corneal blindness around the world might surprise you… and gross you out a little.
There’s a Toothpick-Sized Transplant That Can Change Lives:
Modern corneal transplant technology has gotten weirdly precise—and impressively effective.
PBM Reform Might Finally Be Moving… a Little:
A glimpse of progress in the middleman mess, with state-level action heating up.
If You Watch Horror with a Doctor… Be Prepared for Diagnoses:
Don’t expect a relaxing movie night. Expect theories, pathologies, and a bit of eye-rolling. Literally.

In this episode we welcome back Dr. Kaveh Hoda—gastroenterologist, musician, podcaster, and accidental poop ambassador. We discuss what life is really like as a GI doc (spoiler: it’s not all about poop), how Match Day can go terribly wrong—or surprisingly right—and why some residents get influenced by... ultimate frisbee.
Kaveh also opens up about his path into medicine, his Persian music background, and his worst interview story (hint: it involves casual racism and a dental drill). But it wouldn’t be a Glaucomflecken episode without a little absurdity—like when we brainstorm ways for UnitedHealthcare to get even more terrifyingly vertically integrated.
Takeaways:
A heartfelt moment during CPR left Kristin questioning if med school was even worth it.
Will’s proposed test for letting your child go to med school involves a brutal prior auth simulation.
The NIH funding freeze isn’t just theoretical—it’s dismantling real labs, careers, and discoveries.
Medicaid cuts could gut healthcare access and destabilize emergency departments across the country.
Ortho Bro has very strong opinions on which bones are real, fake, or just embarrassing.

In this episode, I dive into a mix of strange eye conditions, pop culture moments, and one very public showdown between a doctor and a group of anti-vaxxers on Jubilee’s Surrounded. But beyond the headlines, there’s a deeper conversation here—about what it costs to stay online, stay visible, and speak up. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even check your eyelids before bed.
Takeaways:
A Surprisingly Common Condition You’ve Probably Never Heard Of:
It flips, it flops, and it might be the reason you wake up with irritated eyes.
A Debate That Left More Than a Mark:
What happens when a doctor faces off with misinformation... for hours? The emotional fallout might surprise you.
Engaging Online: Heroic or Hopeless?
Dr. Flanary asks the uncomfortable question: Is fighting misinformation on social media actually helping—or just draining the people trying to help?
Sci-Fi Fails a Real-World Eye Test:
Those high-tech retinal scanners in movies? There’s one big flaw they forgot to mention—and it could keep you out of your own evil lair.
Trauma, TV, and Why It Might Still Be Worth Watching:
One gritty show might be getting people into medicine… but is that a good thing?

In this episode we ask a deceptively simple question: Would you let your kid become a doctor? What starts as a heartfelt reflection on medicine, sacrifice, and identity quickly unravels into a chaos-filled ride through policy disasters, parenting hypotheticals, and bone-based controversy.
We touch on the NIH budget freeze and massive proposed Medicaid cuts—and why they’re not just headlines, but real threats to research, residency programs, and patients. Will also pitches a darkly hilarious “prior auth simulation” to anyone considering med school.
And just when things start getting too serious… Ortho Bro shows up. With strong takes and stronger forearms, he’s here to settle the great debate once and for all: What counts as a real bone? (Sorry, teeth.)
Healthcare is a mess, bones are controversial, and nobody is safe from Ortho Bro’s tier list.
Takeaways:
A heartfelt moment during CPR left Kristin questioning if med school was even worth it.
Will’s proposed test for letting your child go to med school involves a brutal prior auth simulation.
The NIH funding freeze isn’t just theoretical—it’s dismantling real labs, careers, and discoveries.
Medicaid cuts could gut healthcare access and destabilize emergency departments across the country.
Ortho Bro has very strong opinions on which bones are real, fake, or just embarrassing.

In this episode I share one of the more difficult days in the OR—when a routine cataract surgery didn’t go according to plan. I walk through the moment everything shifted, how I kept my cool, and what came after—both technically and emotionally. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a surgeon in that moment, this episode is a rare, honest window into it.
Takeaways:
Sometimes, Even “Routine” Surgeries Aren’t: Dr. Flanary opens up about a recent case that didn’t go as expected—and why even years into practice, there are still moments that test every skill you’ve got.
Staying Calm When Things Go Sideways: When a complication unfolds in real time, there’s no time to panic. Dr. Flanary shares how he handled a challenging situation, and what surgeons learn to do when instincts and training have to carry the moment.
Confidence Doesn’t Mean Perfection: Through a powerful metaphor, Dr. Flanary reflects on how surgical confidence evolves—not as certainty that nothing will go wrong, but as the ability to keep moving when it does.
Conversations After Complications Matter: How do you talk to a patient—and their family—when the procedure didn’t go exactly as planned? Dr. Flanary talks about how he approaches these moments with honesty and trust.
The Policies Behind the Pressure: In a classic healthcare rant, Dr. Flanary traces how systems like Medicare Advantage add stress behind the scenes—and why real reform, especially around PBMs, can’t come soon enough.

In this episode we are joined by a long-awaited guest—the one, the only, Emergency Medicine Doctor. Known for his mile-a-minute energy, caffeine addiction, and refusal to slow down, he makes his first-ever in-person podcast appearance… and it’s just as chaotic as you’d expect.
Takeaways:
He’s caffeinated. He’s chaotic. And now he’s got a microphone.
What happens when a fictional ER doctor enters a real podcast studio?
We tested ChatGPT’s joke-writing abilities… and the results were cringe.
Batman might belong in the ER—but not for the reason you think.

In this episode I dive deep into the chaotic world of Match Day, exploring the emotional rollercoaster for medical students who match—and those who don’t. I share insights into why family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled at alarming rates and what this means for the future of primary care. I also review the medical drama The Pitt, breaking down one of its most realistic emergency eye trauma scenes—complete with a lateral canthotomy and high-pressure eye injuries.
Takeaways:
Match Day is one of the most stressful times in a medical student’s life, and not matching doesn’t mean your career is over.
Family medicine and pediatrics residency spots are going unfilled, raising concerns about the future of primary care.
The Pitt is one of the most medically realistic shows, and its portrayal of emergency eye trauma is surprisingly accurate.
Medical education is becoming increasingly unaffordable, and debt is pushing students away from lower-paying but essential specialties.
ER doctors need to know how to handle emergency eye procedures, including lateral canthotomies and managing high-pressure eye trauma.

In this episode we invite Dr. Ryan Marino, a triple-board-certified toxicologist, addiction specialist, and emergency physician known for his relentless battle against medical misinformation—particularly myths about fentanyl and drug policy onto the podcast to share his shocking experience of being targeted by Tucker Carlson, which led to online harassment, real-life threats, and even attempts to get him fired.
Takeaways:
The fentanyl “touch overdose” myth is still widely believed, despite overwhelming scientific evidence proving it’s impossible.
Tucker Carlson’s attack on Dr. Marino led to real-world harassment, job threats, and an online mob—highlighting the risks of fighting misinformation.
Social media is both a tool and a trap—it helps spread accurate medical information but also fuels toxic debates and misinformation.
Proposed laws targeting fentanyl analogs may actually hurt public health by criminalizing research into safer treatment options.
Doctors engaging in online advocacy can make a difference, but they also need support to withstand the backlash.

In this episode I go on a private equity rant, breaking down how corporate takeovers are ruining healthcare—just like they’ve wrecked other industries, including Southwest Airlines. I explain how profit-driven ownership models are prioritizing revenue over patient care, forcing doctors into impossible situations and leading to worse outcomes for everyone.
Takeaways:
Private Equity is a Disaster for Healthcare: Dr. Flanary explains how private equity firms take over medical practices, cut costs, reduce patient care quality, and flip them for profit, leaving physicians and patients suffering.
Southwest Airlines’ Private Equity Problem is a Warning: The downfall of Southwest’s customer-friendly policies is just another example of how corporate ownership ruins everything it touches—including medicine.
Orthopedic Surgeons Really Love Pickleball: While speaking at an ortho conference, Dr. Flanary witnessed a full pickleball tournament happening inside the exhibit hall—which, honestly, makes a lot of sense for ortho docs.
How ERs Handle Eye Emergencies: Not every ER has an on-call ophthalmologist, but level 1 and level 2 trauma centers are required to have one available 24/7—so if you have a serious eye emergency, that’s where you should go.
The Internet Really Wants to Talk About Spleens: After joking about replacing the spleen with a second liver, Dr. Flanary responds to fan concerns that spleens can “explode”, clearing up how spleen ruptures actually happen.

In this episode we dive into one of the most debated topics in medical education—should medical students have to work overnight shifts? We break down both sides of the argument, from whether it builds necessary skills to whether it just reinforces unnecessary suffering.
Takeaways:
Med students doing night shifts remains a heated debate, with strong opinions on both sides about whether it actually improves training.
Bribing kids to try harder in sports works… but it may also backfire when they start expecting to be paid for everything.
Elizabeth Holmes will remain in prison after losing her appeal, marking another chapter in the Theranos fraud case.
Doctors love arguing with each other, especially when it comes to medical education policies and resident training.
Understanding motivation is tricky, whether you're training a doctor or a fourth-grade basketball player.
