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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T18:18:03.628787+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knock-knock-hi-with-the-glaucomfleckens-5910256"},"episode":{"title":"Knock Knock Eye: Let's Navigate Dry Eye Treatments","slug":"knock-knock-eye-let-s-navigate-dry-eye-treatments","published_at":"2026-05-21T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knock-knock-hi-with-the-glaucomfleckens-5910256/knock-knock-eye-let-s-navigate-dry-eye-treatments","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/knock-knock-hi-with-the-glaucomfleckens-5910256","url":"https://p.podderapp.com/9752035609/traffic.megaphone.fm/TCAHH1113800143.mp3","audio_url":"https://p.podderapp.com/9752035609/traffic.megaphone.fm/TCAHH1113800143.mp3","summary":"Today is a day for celebration and a little bit of \"I told you so.\" We finally have a resolution in the saga of the Eugene Emergency Physicians (EEP). Just as final arguments were about to begin, PeaceHealth completely rescinded its contract with Apollo MD and restored it to the local doctors who have served the community for 35 years. I’m breaking down the federal judge’s scathing remarks, including some casual accusations of perjury against corporate leadership, and why this victory proves that Oregon’s new corporate practice of medicine law actually works. Later, I’m putting on my clinical hat to give you the \"Glaucomflecken Dry Eye Regimen.\" I’m talking to you like a patient who’s tired of blurry vision and gritty eyes: we’re cutting through the marketing noise to discuss why hot compresses and baby shampoo are often better than expensive in-office procedures. We’ll cover the new drops on the market, the danger of generic recalls, and why you should steer clear of anything labeled \"homeopathic.\" Takeaways: The EEP Victory: How a courageous group of local doctors defeated a corporate giant and what this means for physician autonomy nationwide. The Perjury Warning: Why a federal judge suggested that corporate executives were \"clearly lying under oath\" during the PeaceHealth trial. The 2029 Deadline: Why every medical practice in Oregon must be 100% physician-owned within three years or face legal oblivion. MGD vs. Tears: Understanding the difference between oil gland dysfunction and aqueous deficiency, and why no single drop can fix both. The Generic Risk: Why Will recommends sticking to brand-name lubricants for your eyes to avoid the history of contamination seen in some generic and homeopathic brands.
