"Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens" dives into the highs, lows, and WTFs of healthcare. Whether you're in the medical field, live with a healthcare worker, or broke your arm once and are still paying off your medical bills, this is a must-listen. Join Will and Kristin Flanary (aka the Glaucomfleckens) for candid chats with leading healthcare voices like Dr. Mike and Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. Discover fun facts about eyeballs, hear relatable stories from medical training, and sneak a peek into the U.S. health insurance industry (spoiler alert: it's not great!). We'll share our own perspectives of being a patient or family member experiencing the healthcare system. And, of course, we explore the question on everyone's minds: "Why has Dr. Glaucomflecken never had his eyes dilated?" Combining science with humor and a dash of snark, we unpack the human side of healthcare.

I love all of it

I haven’t even listened yet and already I’m giving you 5 stars. This Pediatrician can’t wait to listen! You’re going to eat into my Digging Up The Duggars time but it will be so worth it!

Sonoma gal ,

Not a doctor but wow this is good

I have learned so much - and laughed so hard - since discovering your podcast. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Love to hear more about ways to improve healthcare in the US. I’d also love to hear from some nurses and pharmacists.

I also listen to Knock Knock Eye even though I am not an ophthalmologist and have zero intention of becoming one! But it is really interesting and Will does a great job making things understandable, even to us non-medical peeps.

Refreshing!

As a nurse, it is so refreshing to hear a doctor host and RESPECT nurses on his podcast. Also this podcast is just very informative and easy to listen to. Worth a follow.
