Knock Knock Eye: How Diabetic Retinopathy Changes Vision Forever

In this episode I share my jet-lagged reflections after speaking at the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative Symposium. As an ambassador for the initiative, I discuss the fight against diabetic retinopathy, the most common cause of vision loss in people with diabetes, and the ongoing advancements in diagnostics and treatments. I also address your questions, including the challenges of astigmatism, the discomfort of modern headlights, and long-term effects of nystagmus. Takeaways: Diabetic Retinopathy Is a Leading Cause of Vision Loss: Dr. Flannery explains how diabetes damages the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to blindness if untreated, and highlights the importance of early detection. Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative: This nonprofit is advancing research and treatment options for diabetic retinopathy, focusing on reducing the devastating impact of this disease. Astigmatism and Night Driving: Dr. Flannery discusses the challenges astigmatism poses, especially with modern LED headlights, and highlights solutions like glasses, contact lenses, and specialized intraocular lenses. Nystagmus and Eye Movement: He explains why people with congenital nystagmus often don’t perceive the motion of their eyes and debunks concerns about long-term damage from constant eye movement. The Power of Advocacy: Through his work with the Mary Tyler Moore initiative and engaging with fans, Dr. Flannery emphasizes the importance of education and community in addressing preventable vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Your Brain on AI: Interview with MIT Media Lab’s Nataliya Kosmyna

Today, we present to you our first Journal Club episode, in which we feature a primary author of an important piece of research. Online, content supercedes context, and when it comes to emerging hypothesis around big topics–like AI–this loss of context can lead to polarizing views. Today, we are excited to share a longer form interview with one of the leads of the MIT Media Lab’s study that was published as a pre-print this summer: Your Brain on ChatGPT.

Couples and Sex Therapy: Myths and Truths (Part 1)

In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Nikki Haddad—Margaret's residency best friend, couples and sex therapist, and one of the most thoughtful psychiatrists I know—to break down what makes romantic relationships so damn hard. We get into myths we’ve carried (and tried to shake), how sexual issues are rarely just about sex, and why our training in medicine doesn’t prepare us to talk about any of this. Nikki then walks us through the five developmental stages of a relationship and this is only Part 1. Be sure to stay tuned next week for Part 2 of the conversation! Takeaways: I used to think the right relationship should feel easy. Turns out, the real ones take work, discomfort, and occasionally arguing over ice cream. Nikki taught us that sex issues aren’t just about the act—they’re a doorway to everything else we avoid. I finally learned what “differentiation” means in a relationship—and why it feels like breaking up with your past self. Couples therapy isn’t just two people yelling about chores. It’s a roadmap, a mirror, and a lot of basketball metaphors. Yes, Margaret and I roleplayed a fictional couple. Yes, I did an accent. No, we will not be taking questions. -- Want more Dr. Nikki Haddad: IG: @nikkiiiirose Watch on YouTube: @itspresro Listen Anywhere You Podcast: Apple, Spotify, PodChaser, etc. — Produced by Dr Glaucomflecken & Human Content Get in Touch: ⁠howtobepatientpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.
