50 Faces of Surgery Special Episode 1: Dr Glaucomflecken

[@swayforlife8585]

Dr G is healing a generation of colleagues, many of whom suffering from chronic stress, loneliness and dissatisfaction. He reminds us of the bright side and the little gems of working in what can often be a brash and rude environment. Thanks Dr G, you should be very proud of yourself

[@dysmissme7343]

He also importantly reminds that medicine shouldn’t be such a brash and rude environment

[@rimag7883]

Thank you for the interesting interview! Dr. Glaucomflecken is talented in adding light humour to sometimes heavy topics!

[@jaredvurens]

This guy is an inspiration! Hope you keep healing and growing in strength everyday.

This young man has had testicular Cancer TWICE and 3 yrs ago a cardiac Arrest which required them fitting a defib in his heart. He still works and helps to give his colleagues and us a good laugh.🎉😂😂

Great interview! I'm so pleased to know Dr. Flanagan is in my city! That's exciting beyond compare :-)

[@wordzmyth]

That picture! I thought Dr G was introducing a new super junior character 😂😆

[@drgamalahmed9347]

Great idea, I mean this interview. The man has talent. Love his comedy.

[@studywithmir1994]

It makes so much sense he is from the dr seuss school of medicine

[@erikak8187]

I can tell he has a Texas drawl. I love it.

[@karwalker7791]

Very grateful you are in the world! Love the neurologist, reminds me of Dad. You're a born actor. So expressive!

[@Aristotle2000]

14:25 He got cancer twice!?! Well thank God it can't get worse.... Ohhhh nooooooooooo 15:15

[@judithweinknecht4339]

Well done interview guys! Brings light into a peds cardiology on call room at night....

[@timothysalam42]

Good interview but the editing with the dubstep music and the overly long intro really need to be changed/cut.

[@virginiamoss7045]

Yes, more videos are ruined by thinking music will make it better and the louder the better. When will people learn this? Maybe when viewers speak up about it? Thanks for doing so.

[@Aristotle2000]

12:14 Imagine he had loved research and put all his energy into that instead. That would have been a big loss to comedy, but blindness would have been cured by now.

[@faizanquraishi4126]

So true @Aristotle

[@erinsahm]

this is such a great interview! loved getting to learn more

[@piggykhan]

Wow. I never would have thought of all this.. what a fantastic dude. I'm a Scub Tech, wear the 10lb lead... .just left MD. Anderson at 38 so I know how he feels..

[@neuroqueercoach]

I feel ya on the power tools thing. I moved from NE to MA and had to give up so many of my pieces and power tools! It was so sad.

[@wordzmyth]

What a little gem

[@wordzmyth]

Thanks Dr G and thanks to the panel for some really heartfelt questions and answers ❤

[@brasschick4214]

As someone who has orthostatic hypotension and would have loved to do surgery…pity I get freaked out by working on eyes 👀

[@Missmethinksalot1]

Woot Woot go Dr. G!!

[@JoboMcFakeAF]

Dr. G what a G

[@susanbillin1199]

Good one, long.

[@FREzLuckyy]

Me waiting for Dr to comment:

[@piggykhan]

If "work smarter not harder" was a person

[@Eliese.]

Ah. Whole body medicine does affect the ophthalmologist!

[@erikak8187]

Interesting

[@gwynthegnome2050]

I turned this off after the first minute and seeing “Womxn in Surgery Society.” Sorry, I can only take so much woke nonsense per day, and I’ve already hit the limit. Pity that it might have been an interesting conversation. Honestly, you’re going to turn a lot of people off with that.

[@SomeOnlinePerson]

An interview with a male eye surgeon from Texas who also does stereotype-based medical comedy is too "woke" for you? And you're worried about an explicitly encouraging, open-door policy making people leave...?

[@virginiamoss7045]

The way overly loud "music" and frazzled intro almost drove me away before it started, but the interview subject was really great. The repeated way loud interruptions were highly annoying. Make some changes!

[@dorothydecesare1607]

Your blindness, your loss, so sad for you. Sometimes you have to dig a bit deeper in life.

[@gwynthegnome2050]

@@dorothydecesare1607 Yes, well maybe I’ll go back and watch the video some other time. That particular day I had just had enough of woke nonsense. It’s the whole “womxn” idea that bothered me - the idea that men are so toxic that we don’t even want the word “men” embedded in the word “women,” so we need to cross them out. (That is the whole point of them spelling it that way - or the idea that the word “women” somehow doesn’t include all women and isn’t inclusive enough.) I felt like I was walking into a room to visit with an old friend (Dr. Glaucomflecken), and I was met with a stranger wearing a t-shirt that says, “All men are pigs” or “All white people are fascists” or some type of thing. Depending on the day, I may sit down with that person and say, “Really? Why do you feel that way?” And other days I’ve just heard enough of it, and when I see the t-shirt I just turn around and walk the other way. That’s what this was for me. I actually encounter this in real life fairly often, thanks to people in my family having all sorts of political opinions. It’s also a fair point that I think people in any sort of professional capacity (especially those of us in the medical field) should leave their politics at home when talking in a professional capacity about medical things. For the very reason that it will turn people off and they won’t want to listen to anything you say. If my doctor were to walk into the office wearing a “Men are toxic” pin, it would make me question her judgement. Honestly I would be finding another doctor, because if I can’t trust your judgement on basic things like, hey, some men really aren’t that bad, then I’m not going to trust your medical judgement either. And on the flip side, if they’re using that spelling to “be more inclusive” and to make more people feel welcome, they should be aware of the very real fact that it makes a lot of people feel un-included and not welcome, thus defeating the whole purpose. But you’re right. I do generally really enjoy listening to Dr. Glaucomflecken, and maybe I’ll watch the video some other time.
