  • 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.

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I discuss important eye conditions in children that should never be ignored. From aggressive blinking and rubbing to the misalignment of eyes (strabismus), I explain how early detection of these symptoms can save a child’s vision. I also delves into congenital glaucoma, blocked tear ducts, and other common pediatric eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis. Whether you're a parent or healthcare provider, this episode provides valuable insights on protecting children's eye health.
    Takeaways:
    Blinking and Rubbing May Indicate Vision Problems: Children who frequently rub or blink their eyes aggressively may have refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, which can be corrected with early intervention.
    Misaligned Eyes (Strabismus) Can Lead to Vision Loss: If one of a child’s eyes is misaligned or appears "lazy," this could indicate strabismus, which, if untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss (amblyopia).
    Tearing in Infants Could Be a Sign of Congenital Glaucoma: Dr. Flannery explains that excessive tearing in newborns may be an early sign of congenital glaucoma, a rare but serious condition that requires immediate attention.
    New Spots on the Eyes Need Examination: If a new spot appears on the white of a child’s eye, it’s essential to have it examined by an ophthalmologist, as it could be a benign nevus or something more serious, like a melanoma.
    Difference in Pupil Size (Anisocoria) Could Be a Red Flag: A noticeable difference in pupil size in children might be an indication of an underlying condition like Horner's syndrome or other neurological issues, and should be checked by a specialist.

  • We sit down with Dr. Noc (Morgan McSweeney, PhD), a social media influencer and expert in pharmaceutical sciences. We dive deep into how misinformation spreads on social media and the challenges scientists face when debunking it. Dr. Noc shares his insights on tackling myths around Big Pharma, drug pricing, and supplements, all while blending humor with education on platforms like TikTok. The conversation also touches on the balance between providing accurate science communication and the frustrations of dealing with online backlash. Join us for an engaging discussion on the power of science communication in an era of misinformation.Takeaways:Misinformation on social media spreads fast, and debunking it requires both patience and creative science communication.Pharmaceutical companies play a crucial role in drug development, but pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) also contribute to high drug prices and often go unnoticed.Supplements are heavily promoted on social media, often with misleading claims; most people don’t need them, and they are mostly just expensive urine.Science communicators face challenges on platforms like TikTok, where algorithms isolate videos, and context is often lost.Connecting with people emotionally can be as important as providing evidence when communicating science and health information.—Want to Learn About Dr. Noc (Morgan McSweeney, PhD):TikTok / Instagram / Facebook / Youtube: @dr.noc—To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I reflect on turning 39 and how my medical history—surviving testicular cancer and a cardiac arrest—shapes my outlook on life and birthdays. Along with these personal reflections, I answer insightful YouTube comments, discussing topics like vision requirements for driving and Halloween eyeball decorations. I also dive into one of the scariest eye conditions for both patients and surgeons: Endophthalmitis, a dangerous post-surgery infection.
    Takeaways:
    Endophthalmitis: The Scariest Eye Condition: Dr. Flannery explains why Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared post-surgical complications, highlighting its symptoms, treatment, and the potential for severe vision loss.
    Reflecting on 39th Birthday: Dr. Flannery shares how surviving cancer and a cardiac arrest has shaped his perspective on celebrating another year of life, with both joy and a lingering sense of caution.
    Vision and Driving Laws: Responding to YouTube comments, Dr. Flannery discusses the surprisingly lax driving vision requirements in some states, like Wisconsin, and the potential dangers this poses to road safety.
    Halloween Eyeballs and Fan Comments: On a lighter note, Dr. Flannery enjoys a fun conversation with fans about his obsession with Halloween eyeball decorations, especially painting pumpkins and using inflatable eyes to bring a spooky twist to ophthalmology.
    Balancing Life as a Doctor and Comedian: Dr. Flannery talks about juggling two careers—ophthalmology and internet comedy—and how both bring him fulfillment, especially when he gets to engage with fans and answer their questions.

  • In this episode of Glauc Talk, we dive into the chaos of a stressful morning and explore how emotional regulation can make a big difference in managing everyday challenges. I also reflect on some of my biggest social media mistakes and the lessons I learned from those controversies, offering valuable insights for others navigating the online world. The episode touches on the importance of taking a pause before reacting, handling crises calmly, and learning from missteps. Additionally, we discuss the shocking cost of helicopter medical transport and how recent legislation aims to prevent surprise billing in these situations.

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I focus on one of the scariest eye conditions for your cornea: Acanthamoeba keratitis. This rare but serious infection is particularly frightening for contact lens wearers, as it can lead to severe pain, long-term vision problems, and a difficult treatment process. I break down why this infection is so dangerous, how it impacts the cornea, and offers important advice on how to prevent it. Learn why Acanthamoeba keratitis is a nightmare for your cornea and how to protect your vision.
    Takeaways:
    Acanthamoeba Keratitis Is Rare but Serious: This infection occurs when a protozoa, commonly found in water, invades the cornea, causing severe pain and long-term damage.
    Contacts and Water Don’t Mix: Wearing contact lenses in water, whether in pools, hot tubs, or even showers, significantly increases the risk of developing Acanthamoeba keratitis.
    Pain Out of Proportion to Symptoms: A common sign of Acanthamoeba keratitis is severe eye pain, often much worse than what doctors can see in a standard eye exam.
    Long, Complex Treatment: Treating Acanthamoeba keratitis can take months, sometimes requiring multiple medications and even corneal transplants in severe cases.
    Prevention Is Key: The best way to avoid Acanthamoeba keratitis is to keep your contact lenses away from any water source, and always use proper contact lens solution for cleaning and storage.

  • We sit down with Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist and Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee system. We dive into the challenges of managing wellness for over 80,000 students and faculty across five campuses, the complexities of test anxiety in medical education, and the evolving definition of burnout in healthcare. Dr. Gold also shares insights on the impact of perfectionism and competition in pre-med culture, and how these pressures contribute to long-term stress and burnout. Tune in for an in-depth conversation on mental health, wellness, and the steps healthcare systems can take to support students and professionals.
    Takeaways:
    Test anxiety is a major issue for medical students, often leading to physical symptoms such as nausea and sleeplessness, and it persists throughout their training.
    Burnout is a widespread problem in healthcare and higher education, but it’s often misunderstood and used as a catch-all term for workplace stress.
    The role of a Chief Wellness Officer involves addressing both mental health and overall well-being across multiple domains, such as emotional, physical, and financial health.
    Perfectionism and competition begin early in pre-med culture and are significant contributors to stress, leading to burnout later in medical training and practice.
    Removing high-stakes test scores, like with the shift to pass/fail systems, can create new forms of competition, such as requiring more research or extracurricular achievements to stand out.

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I uncover the surprising and sometimes shocking differences in vision requirements for drivers across the U.S. Find out which states are the worst when it comes to lax vision standards for drivers and why you might want to be extra cautious on the roads in those areas. I also tackle common questions about the safety of Halloween costume contact lenses and offers eye care tips to keep your vision healthy. From costume safety to dangerous driving states, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.
    Takeaways:
    The Worst States to Drive with Vision Impairments: Dr. Flannery ranks the five U.S. states with the most relaxed vision requirements for drivers, revealing alarming standards that may put other drivers at risk.
    Importance of Peripheral Vision for Driving: Many states lack sufficient peripheral vision requirements for drivers, even though peripheral vision is crucial for road safety and detecting potential hazards.
    Costume Contact Lens Risks: Halloween costume contact lenses, especially when bought online, can be dangerous, leading to corneal abrasions or infections if they don’t fit properly or are worn for too long.
    The Importance of Proper Contact Lens Fitting: Contact lenses, including cosmetic ones, must fit properly to avoid damage to the eye, and seeing an eye doctor before wearing them is the safest route.
    An Update on Kyle Van Noy’s Eye Injury: The episode revisits the update on NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy’s orbital fracture and the incredibly fast response time of an ophthalmologist, setting a high bar for on-call medical services.

  • In this episode of Glauc Talk, we discuss the ins and outs of flying cross-country for medical conferences and the challenges of balancing travel with keynote speaking. We explore the quirky yet contentious debate of whether doctors should wear scrubs in public, sharing their own experiences and differing opinions on the topic. The episode is packed with humorous stories about early morning keynote presentations, conference dynamics, and the life of a traveling physician. Join them for laughs, insights, and an inside look at the lighter side of medical conferences.
    Takeaways:
    Traveling for medical conferences can be exhausting, especially when flying cross-country and dealing with time zone changes.
    Medical conferences often start early to ensure audience participation, especially for keynotes that aim to attract attendees to exhibit halls.
    Wearing scrubs in public is a debated topic among healthcare professionals, with some feeling self-conscious about the perception of cleanliness.
    Scrubs aren’t always "dirty"—especially for doctors in specialties like ophthalmology—but the stigma around wearing them outside of the hospital persists.
    Being funny early in the morning is a challenge for keynote speakers at medical conferences, but humor is crucial in engaging a sleepy audience.

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I discuss the recent injury of NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who suffered an orbital fracture during a game. Van Noy criticized the time it took for an eye doctor to reach him in the locker room, but I offer a behind-the-scenes look at why this might not be as shocking as it seems. From the logistics of getting an ophthalmologist to a stadium to understanding orbital fractures, this episode dives into the complexities of eye injuries in professional sports and what we can learn from this unusual situation.
    Takeaways:
    The Logistics of Eye Care in Sports: Kyle Van Noy’s injury highlighted the challenge of quickly accessing specialized care, like ophthalmologists, during professional sports events, which can take longer than expected for specific injuries.
    The Dangers of Eye Subluxation: Eye subluxation, where the eyelids get trapped behind the eyeball, can occur in conditions like severe thyroid eye disease. This rare and serious condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
    Gene Therapy for Inherited Eye Diseases: The episode briefly touches on advancements in gene therapy for rare conditions like Leber congenital amaurosis, offering hope for patients with inherited retinal diseases as groundbreaking treatments become more available.

  • In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I dive into the terrifying world of "never events" — surgical mistakes that should never happen. From stories of operating on the wrong eye to the shocking case of a surgeon removing a liver instead of a spleen, I explore how these catastrophic errors occur, despite the safeguards in place. I also discuss my own experiences in the operating room and the importance of meticulous safety protocols. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on medical errors and how to prevent them.
    Takeaways:
    Understanding Never Events: The episode dives deep into the concept of "never events," which are serious medical errors that should never happen, such as operating on the wrong body part or removing the wrong organ.
    A Shocking Real-Life Case: The episode covers a disturbing case where a surgeon in Florida mistakenly removed a patient's liver instead of their spleen, highlighting how even in modern medicine, catastrophic errors can happen.
    Vasovagal Reactions and Their Prevalence: Dr. Flannery discusses vasovagal reactions, a common response to certain triggers in the medical setting, like eye exams or injections, where patients may faint or experience dizziness.
    The Role of the Surgeon as the Last Line of Defense: The episode underscores how surgeons, as the final checkpoint, are responsible for catching any potential errors, such as verifying the correct lens during cataract surgery or ensuring they’re operating on the correct eye.
