In this episode we welcome Dr. Humie, a dentist and TikTok content creator, to discuss the challenges and humor of dentistry. Dr. Humie shares his approach to creating high-quality, hilarious videos on a smartphone, involving his office staff to showcase the lighter side of dental care. We dive into topics like dental phobias, if the dentist chair should be scary, patient anxieties, and the innovative ways social media can make dentistry more approachable. The conversation also explores unique medical overlaps, from eye health to oral health, and the role of storytelling in breaking down barriers between healthcare providers and patients.
Takeaways:
High-quality content creation doesn’t require expensive equipment—Dr. Humie produces viral videos using just a smartphone and creativity.
Dental anxiety is common, but creating a fun, welcoming environment can help patients feel more comfortable.
Social media humanizes healthcare, showing the personal side of dentists and creating a connection with patients before they even enter the office.
Dentistry overlaps with other medical fields, such as ophthalmology, in surprising ways, like dealing with patient fears and superglue mishaps.
Engaging office culture improves morale and inspires creativity, making the workplace enjoyable for both staff and patients.

Reflecting on the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder and the public backlash, I unpack common misconceptions about physician compensation and healthcare costs. I also highlight why blaming doctors for rising expenses is misguided and sheds light on where the real money is going.
Takeaways:

UnitedHealthcare’s Role in Healthcare Spending: He discusses how UnitedHealthcare, as the largest employer of physicians, contributes to the systemic issues, highlighting the growing corporatization of healthcare.
The Fallout of Physician Burnout: Dr. Flannery explores how declining physician reimbursements and increasing workloads are fueling burnout and compounding healthcare challenges.
Diabetes and Cataract Surgery Complications: A detailed surgical case highlights how diabetes and vitrectomy history can complicate cataract removal, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
Healthcare Advocacy vs. Misdirected Blame: The episode underscores the need for constructive advocacy and accountability, focusing on systemic reform rather than targeting physicians unfairly.

In this episode we reflect on the realities of balancing work, marriage, and medicine. We tackle questions on work-life balance in healthcare, debating how different generations of doctors view medicine—as a calling versus a job. We also share personal anecdotes about how we navigate life as a couple working together while also managing a family, including funny moments about bickering, learning to let go, and setting boundaries.
Takeaways:
Balancing work and marriage in medicine requires intentional time together, even if it's just a few minutes each day.
Work-life balance is increasingly important for younger generations of doctors, challenging traditional expectations in medicine.
Effective communication and mutual support are essential for partners in high-demand careers to thrive together.
Generational shifts in medicine reflect changing attitudes toward work-life balance, highlighting the impact of corporatized healthcare.
Outsourcing tasks—like housekeeping—can be a practical way for medical professionals to free up time for each other.

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.

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.

In this episode I explore the fascinating question of whether eye color can be linked to specific diseases. I dive into pigmentary glaucoma, an eye condition most commonly seen in individuals with brown eyes, and explains how certain eye colors can increase the risk of other conditions. The episode also recounts my "eye pilgrimage" to see Dallas's giant eyeball sculpture, discusses creative costumes worn by fans at live shows, and answers questions from the YouTube comments.
Takeaways:
Eye Color and Disease Risk: Dr. Flannery shares how eye color can influence the likelihood of developing certain eye diseases, such as pigmentary glaucoma in brown-eyed individuals.
Understanding Pigmentary Glaucoma: He explains how this condition occurs when pigment from the iris clogs the eye’s drainage system, leading to increased pressure and potential vision loss.
A Unique Eye Pilgrimage: Dr. Flannery recounts his visit to the giant eyeball sculpture in Dallas and why it holds special significance for ophthalmologists and eye enthusiasts.
Engagement with Fans: The episode highlights the dedication of fans who attended his Texas shows wearing themed costumes and props, including recreations of Tabitha, the homemade microscope.
Viewer Questions and Interactive Learning: Dr. Flannery addresses insightful viewer questions, like whether specific eye colors are linked to particular diseases, providing valuable educational content.

In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I dive into the complex world of cataract surgery, sharing an extraordinary case of a patient who had gone 15 years without cataract surgery after a vitrectomy. I reflect on the difficulties of operating on a dense, hardened cataract, discussing the intricacies of such procedures and how prior surgeries can accelerate cataract progression. Additionally, I discuss the current IV fluid shortage caused by Hurricane Helene, which damaged a major production facility in North Carolina. This shortage is impacting hospitals nationwide, affecting elective surgeries and patient care. With a mix of surgical insights, healthcare challenges, and humorous personal stories, this episode offers a captivating look at life in medicine.
Takeaways:
Cataracts Can Worsen After Eye Surgery: Dr. Flannery explains how cataracts progress faster in patients who have undergone a vitrectomy, emphasizing the importance of timely cataract surgery to avoid complications.
Challenges of Dense Cataracts: In this episode, Dr. Flannery shares his experience with a particularly dense cataract, describing the advanced techniques required to remove it and the complexities involved when the eye’s lens is unstable.
The Importance of Early Cataract Removal: Dr. Flannery highlights how cataracts become more difficult to remove as they harden over time, making early intervention crucial for better surgical outcomes.
Impact of the IV Fluid Shortage: Beyond cataracts, Dr. Flannery discusses the national shortage of IV fluids, exploring how this affects elective surgeries and the broader healthcare system.
Surgeons Behaving Badly: In a lighter moment, Dr. Flannery shares a story about a surgeon who used a Swiss Army knife in place of a sterile scalpel, illustrating the strange and sometimes humorous side of healthcare.

In this episode of Knock Knock Hi, we explore the challenges of balancing life in a medical marriage like managing household duties when both partners are running on empty. We reflect on the popular TikTok trend of "energy check-ins," where couples rate how much they have left to give at the end of the day, and whether it can work in a busy, often chaotic medical household. Adding to the fun, we dive into the lore of one of my most beloved characters—the Neurologist. I shares how the Neurologist was inspired by one of my real-life attendings, known for his intellectual superiority and sharp insults.
Takeaways:
Medical marriages can feel unbalanced, especially when one partner is always working long hours, which puts more household responsibilities on the other.
Sleepwalking, stress, and medical careers can create unique challenges in a marriage, making communication and understanding even more important.
The Neurologist’s sharp wit and expertise adds humor to the discussion of sleep and exhaustion, reminding listeners of the importance of brain health in relationships.
TikTok relationship trends like “energy check-ins” might seem helpful but could backfire when both partners are constantly running on empty.
Balancing a career in medicine with personal life requires patience, humor, and creativity—sometimes, even turning to social media trends for inspiration.
