Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens

• Knock Knock Eye: When Eyeballs Pop Out: The Real Story Behind Proptosis

  In this episode, I’m breaking down what a week of ophthalmology call actually looks like, why retinal detachments aren’t the emergency you think they are, and how one cartoon wolf ended up being my latest ocular diagnosis. Plus, in the latest installment of my “Signs and Symptoms” series, we’re talking eyelash loss, bleeding eyes (aka hyphema), and the fine line between “put your pants on now” and “you can wait till morning." Takeaways: Why not every “retinal detachment” is a middle-of-the-night emergency. The eye condition that might explain why a cartoon wolf’s eyes bulge out of his head. What eyelash loss can really mean and when it’s time to worry about eyelid cancer. How trauma, herpes, and tumors can all lead to blood in the eye (and why that’s a big deal). The three-step ophthalmologist plan for every hyphema: couch, drops, and call us.

• Glauc Talk: Kristin’s Official List of Fears

  Kristin and I start off by talking about puzzles, rainy vacations, and why Scotland might be the best place on earth, mostly because they have giant defibrillator kiosks just sitting out in public. Then, somehow, that conversation spirals into an in-depth analysis of Kristin’s many fears (spiders, the ocean, nouns too close to her face: you name it). We also dive back into our favorite recurring segment: “Pick a Random Page From the Medical Book and Hope It’s Not Biochemistry.” Spoiler: it is biochemistry. We try to remember what the endoplasmic reticulum actually does, argue about the word “moiety,” and eventually land in a conversation about plant reproductive organs. Takeaways: Fear Factor: Flanary Edition. We build the definitive list of Kristin’s greatest fears. Why America needs to step up its public AED game. What do they have in common? They all terrify Kristin. A chaotic attempt to explain the endoplasmic reticulum without Googling (we failed). When a conversation about cell biology somehow ends in botany. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

• Knock Knock Eye: What Does an Abnormal Red Reflex Really Mean?

  I’m trying something new: differentials. Each episode, I’ll pick one ocular sign and one ocular symptom, and walk you through everything that could cause them. This week: the mysterious “abnormal red reflex” and the all-too-common “my eyes are burning.” From cataracts and retinoblastoma to blepharitis and bad makeup glue, I’m breaking down the real possibilities, one red, irritated eyeball at a time. It’s part med school, part comedy, and yes, you might just become an honorary ophthalmologist by the end of it. Takeaways: Why an “abnormal red reflex” might mean anything from cataract to retinoblastoma. The simplest test pediatricians use to spot dangerous eye conditions early. How blepharitis and clogged oil glands cause that all-too-familiar burning sensation. The surprising eye problems linked to makeup, contact lenses, and preservatives. Why ophthalmologists love differentials and how this new series might just teach you to think like one.

• When Anatomy Gets Adorable with Wendy Bryan Lazar

  This week, Kristin and I sit down with Wendy Bryan Lazar, the founder of I Heart Guts, the company making plush organs so lovable you almost forget they’re based on, you know, actual human guts. We dive into how she turned her background in design and a deep love of anatomy into a wildly successful brand that celebrates the weird, wonderful world inside us. We talk about the real challenges of bringing humor to healthcare, the joy of making science accessible (and huggable), and how one person’s creative spark can make millions of people laugh at their livers. Takeaways: How a love of anatomy turned into one of the most unique brands in science art. Why humor might be medicine’s best marketing tool. How Wendy bridges the gap between art, science, and empathy. The surprising ways I Heart Guts supports education, patients, and healthcare pros.

• Knock Knock Eye: Why Doctors Should Be Allowed to Own Hospitals

  From ophthalmology to testicle jokes, this episode covers a lot. I’m talking about why physicians should be allowed to own hospitals, the internet debate over vision therapy, and the truth about whether your eyes can actually pop out if you sneeze too hard. Plus, I share the one time an ophthalmologist asked a patient to drop his pants and why professional athletes might be missing out by skipping regular eye exams. Takeaways: Why physician-owned hospitals might actually provide better and cheaper care. The truth about “vision therapy” and why evidence-based medicine still matters. What really happens if you sneeze with your eyes open (and no, they don’t explode). How Lyme disease and screen time can both affect your vision in unexpected ways. Why getting your eyes checked could change your game, literally, if you’re a pro athlete.
