Paging Dr. Glaucomflecken: Humor with a Purpose

For our 100th episode, we welcome Dr. Will Flanary, the ophthalmologist and comedian behind Dr. Glaucomflecken. Dr. Flanary shares how an anonymous creative outlet grew into a platform reaching millions and takes us behind the specialty characters we all love. Dr. Will Flanary shares how humor, storytelling, and satire have helped create meaningful conversations about the realities of modern healthcare and the physician experience. We discuss why physicians struggle to speak with one voice, how state-level advocacy can create real change, and why he is urging communities to “keep medicine local.” Funny, candid, and hopeful, this episode reveals why Dr. Glaucomflecken’s humor resonates with all of us.
