Thanks so much for watching. I’ll be releasing episodes 2 and 3 later today!

[@brittanyr9471]

Would love to see foot Dr. Dana on here!

[@angtastic8696]

As a non medical person I'll tell you why I love your skits. Even though I have no idea what you're saying in the terminology, the caricature is colorful and expressive enough that I can extract the humorous behaviors that are simply typical between human beings. But it also introduces a hidden work culture just like the TV show "The Office." Even a construction worker can laugh at corporate humor there because it's just people being weirdo's and we all love being weird humans and watching other humans be weird.

[@prongs4137]

"Radio face?" Lmao Lady Glaucomflecken is so funny! 🤣

[@Tcheera]

Hey... as someone who is a medically complex patient and either gets along famously with MOST of my doctors, or has met most of my other specialists in emergencies at the worst times of my life (aka surgeons or ER doctors), honestly most of the humor is largely what I've personally witnessed and seen and I've shared it with several of my long-term doctors that I know and they also love it. I've also noticed that also most of the medically complex community also seem to laugh at the Glaucomflecken humor, because a lot of times how you see it is not really all that different to how we experience them when we're getting terfed around. As patients we witness a lot of these hierarchies and / or interactions between colleagues if we're there enough.

[@motionless_horizon]

I was gonna say similar! I’m medically complex as well and his humor is my favorite. We have to laugh at the dark comedy that comes from our situation and he does a great job showing what it can really be like

[@mosasaurusrex1815]

I'm glad I'm not the only medically complex person here! So many comments come from doctors and I've wondered.

[@Tcheera]

@@motionless_horizon haha yeah and I'm also pretty sure that my ortho surgeon and anesthesiologist had some of the same conversations in some of his videos -- and I also have had to have charge nurse intervene before. Also most of my doctors that I have to see the most for time happen to be in family medicine (for procedures and osteopathic work and just to get a ton of paperwork done and referrals and on and on), and it's very sadly spot on with them- PAINFULLY SO. One of them also is an older male who can't type. I spent years hoping he would get a Jonathan, and he did finally get at least a voice activated live transcriptionist in 2022. She's not a Jonathan, but she's lovely. He has me talk to her and explain to her what I'm getting and why and how it works when he's preparing for my procedures LOL, or we can just chat, which helps since the procedure he does isn't a commonly known procedure so the context helps her with note-taking. She's delightful, and that particular family med doctor getting anything even remotely resembling a Jonathan has probably decreased his stress and increased his capacity to help patients by like 10x what it was before since he was always way way behind on paperwork.

[@motionless_horizon]

@@Tcheera I see my family med dr very often as well, and it’s the same here. So overworked with very little help sadly. I try to bring him small gifts, like thank you cards and the like, to show my appreciation for all he does. They deserve so much more!!

[@Tcheera]

​@@motionless_horizon same! I always do very tiny very small things like cards or like one time it was just these little token cards my friends had made for appreciation but they were just the size of business cards and the one I gave him said "You're f***ing awesome!" By then I knew him pretty well and knew it would be the right thing at the right time. I think it's nice to find the right balance of things that help them know they're appreciated and making a difference but not making them uncomfortable. I think the medically complex community of course can get very close to our doctors but a lot of us learn so much about health care that we learn about boundaries and striking the balance. Also though I think for some of us that especially since covid that for better or worse that we may see our doctors more than friends or even family depending. Aside from letting them know I also try to balance out my calls to patient relations as well to include specifics on what they are doing so well for me and other patients that I know in the system who may have too much anxiety to call but have given me permission to speak for them as a health advocate. I know that the vast majority of calls that they get are complaints when something goes wrong -- and aside from knowing that as general psych bias, it's easy to tell that is what they get because even though the line says it is for all comments including what went well, when they answer the phone sometimes they accidentally slip by asking what they can help fix or if I'm calling to file a complaint before I've said anything. I know that many patients don't take the time to praise the important good work that in the current HMO climate is actually exceptional and not the rule for most doctors that are overpaneled in these systems. I try to fill out my reviews of service for every visit unless I'm just way way too sick to do it. But then even if that happens I make a point when I am able to call PR with compliments as well as the significant complaints (which honestly I only save for life threatening things to help avoid it happening to others) and I try to call them at least every1-2 years after doing an inventory of specifics. While I will of course include the important ways they've helped me and saved my life -- I also will slip in the things that I don't really care about but that I know admin will like decreased ER use, avoiding ER and hospitalization, and all of that hard work that they've done that... since I'm a medicaid patient and especially in covid they both need the beds to stay open and of course would rather fill them with someone with better insurance that pays more hahaha. Sad, but it's the reality of our health care, so I try to do that part too since even though I know my doctors are good enough that it's not like their jobs are on the line, they're also good enough that if our hospital's admin and hmo policies get ANY worse and no matter how much they love what they do, I could see them going private or moving if it got much worse -- because tbh sometimes the policies they make are nonsensical and downright abusive to GPs. For some reason the surgeons are always happy with how admin treats them. Have no idea where the ego jokes come from (heh).

Hi! One of your not-medical watchers here! Personally, I watch you because you humanize the medical profession. So often, doctors don't spend a lot of time with their patients unless they're in family medicine or pediatrics. It's refreshing to see that you guys have senses of humor and inside jokes. Also, you show some of the struggles medical professionals go through, struggles that we know almost nothing about. The average person doesn't think about burnout or departmental conflicts. You show us that you're not so different from us in a way that makes us laugh.

[@saulemaroussault6343]

PLEASE if you went anaphylactic rush to the ER after using the Epipen. It’s something that’s taught to people who are extremely allergic and have to carry an EpiPen, but sometimes others don’t know it. The EpiPen is just there to allow you to make it to the ER, it’s not a medication for the allergic reaction.

[@abby_unhinged]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@Punz18]

Me falling asleep to a pod cast or stream tends to mean it gives me comfort akin to when my mother read books for me before bed. So take it as a compliment when people fall asleep to the podcast

Yes we make donations every year. I always have an active fundraiser for First Descents, a non profit benefiting young adults with cancer. We have raised over 100k since 2018!

[@GOTHICforLIFE1]

I have zero interest in medicine; so i can answer the question about the non-medical viewer's interest. The main factor that enables a non-medical audience to enjoy your content is in the way you clearly portrait personalities in each field of medicine. Half of the specialities and their corresponding names i had no idea what meant. But after a few sketches you start to understand what an each field do and their characteristics. And it doesn't require too many videos before you start to understand a decent chunk of the terminology as well. Then you of course have things like the med-student which is very easy to relate to, even if you don't practice medicine

[@Yggdrslll]

As an insight, I'm not medical at all, but both of my parents are physicians so I grew up sitting in tiny offices waiting for my parents to finish charting, grabbing lunch in the hospital cafeteria during the 15 minutes my dad had before his next case, etc. I don't understand every joke, but enough of them hit that your content is a "must watch" for me. Additionally, spreading the insurance and journal bullshit that docs have to deal with to a broader audience is also critically important and I like supporting that, even if it's just as another subscriber and adding to view count for the algorithm.

[@M85331]

You are not in academic field neither, right?

[@Yggdrslll]

@@M85331 Correct, I'm a practicing electrical engineer without a Master's or PhD.

[@uglytv3417]

Practicing pathologist in NC--I run a lab and did so through the pandemic. Have been watching for a long time, and the radiologists at my facility are always bringing me your videos. I'm not remotely famous (I have effectively zero followers on any platform), but I'm happy to share stories if you run out of more interesting or more famous medical people to interview!

[@LexAnnalyn]

One reason I watch and enjoy your skits: while the details are specific to the medical community, the core human experience isn’t that different from mine or other people I know. So yes, I watch partly to learn more about a different perspective than I have. But I also relate to the basic humanity. In one of my college creative writing classes, I learned that we should write about specifics from our lives even if we think others won’t relate to those specifics. The audience will relate because our unique experiences speak to the same bigger truths and general human experience as their unique experiences do. I don’t have to wear scrubs, experience medical school, or banter with a surgeon to connect with your skits or to laugh at your antics. I’m human. That’s enough. :)

[@eRasputin]

I'm British and I work in theatre, and I like the Dr. Glaucomflecken videos partly because a lot of my family are in medicine, so it reminds me of rants that my mother and cousins used to have, and because Dr. G is a really good character actor. He's good at it -- I sometimes forget that the different characters are essentially just him in different hats, which is a really big achievement even for drama school educated actors.

[@MA-lz9uz]

Hi dr and lady G ..I am a mature Australian retired nurse having spent a great deal of time in ophthalmology and in just about every other discipline at some stage and have got to let you know you guys are a breath of fresh air. Have loved and laughed at all your skits and your gifts are so truely needed in this confusing exhausting time. There are a lot of broken health care workers who really need your humour.

[@xaucer99]

I spent hours yesterday binge watching Dr Shah’s KZbin content, and found out I had rosacea. I’ve seen a derm, but he never actually sat me down and talked about what was happening - but right there on my prescriptions says “anti-rosacea” in tiny little font. I spent 5 years thinking I just wasn’t washing my face correctly… so thanks to you both!

[@pyronix]

i'm a database engineer and i have been binging dr glaucomflecken's content nonstop for the past week. the beauty in his comedy and his shorts is that he is very effective in translating the nuances and humor of what life is like working in the healthcare space to people who have very little knowledge of this "lifestyle".

[@imonkeybee]

I'm so grateful that Dr Shah mentioned Ehlers-Danlos!! It's so rare to find a doctor that knows about it in my experience (at least in the UK)

[@donnacurrie7360]

I am a switchboard operator at a super large hospital in London Ontario and I find the stories and content really fascinating and relatable.

[@saulemaroussault6343]

Not medical professional at all, but I have a special interest in medicine and I am chronically ill. A lot of my friends who love your content are too, and I think it has to do with 2 things : first we have a better knowledge of the medical world than non-disabled people, and second your content gives us an insight into a world we don’t completely get, and like, a lot of doctors are…not the best and having tools to understand how they think is precious. Pluss we can share jokes with the good ones.

[@Debble]

I am a nurse and i think the biggest gap between patients and the medical people is that what is a once in a lifetime and sometimes traumatic event is for them is just another Tuesday for us. I am very aware of it but i also often forget it and it can cause a lot of confusion and distress for patients

[@ismaelmillan6547]

Here there’s a Dermatology resident from Spain.

Lady Glauc! You're awesome. Thank you for your non-medical perspective and female perspective. Y'all are really going to take off.

[@DrEsky914]

Mrs G is pretty awesome. You have to get the worst scenario out of the way FIRST! because the patient will not hear what you have to say if you have not given them that reassurance that is so obvious to you. As a Palliative Care physician our main tool is conversation and how to meet patient's and families where they are rather than where we might want them to be. This is pretty great! I think Dr Shah is learning some valuable advice from Mrs G!!

[@paigeroberts96]

Hello Glaucomfleckens! What a great first podcast episode with an amazing first guest!! I think the only feedback I would offer is being conscious of allowing more opportunities for your guests to speak. It wasn't bad at all, but I just noticed that there appeared to be a few instances where it seemed like Dr. Shah wanted to speak to something and wasn't able to, perhaps because he didn't want to interrupt (I could be wrong though!). Just wanted to mention that observation in case it could be of any help to you two.😊 Overall for a first podcast ever, this was really well done and entertaining!! I liked your ridiculous adventure diagnosis lol😆 Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping us both educated and entertained! Also, it would be amazing if you could get a Dr. Mike/Dr. Glaucomflecken collab!!

Not medical, but my mom was an RN and I have a handful of cousins and friends that are either new doctors or in med school. I honestly follow you and understand a lot of it because I'm a huge nerd and am interested in medicine. I feel like I really wanted to go into it, but was intimidated by it and now I wish I had (thanks, late in life ADHD diagnosis!). I was the person asking my OBGYN within minutes of giving birth to show me my placenta and explain how it was special due to my single umbilical artery. I had my husband take pictures of it. I read my own labs like sports stats. Not because I'm a hypochondriac - I'm not stressed about things, just fascinated.

Great stuff.

I also have something called Multiple Hereditary Osteochondromas (MHE/MHO/diaphyseal aclasis; bone spurs on growth plates of longbones, and a bunch of other less well understood components), as a biologist I try to keep up with the science behind it, but like many with rare genetic conditions we have to get used to Drs googling the condition and knowing nothing about it (last time I got xrays they literally just told me to wait sitting on the xray machine for a while whilst they checked out the xrays) and admitting that even the radiologists there had not seen it prior. It would be really cool if you interviewed a geneticist, or someone specialising on rarer conditions (especially given that elements of the conditions often noted almost anecdotally in the literature seem to be much more common if you start discussing traits within online groups of people with them). Anyway enough rambling-keep up the good work

[@PotatoSofi]

I recently passed out for the first time in my life (24 years of pure health /s) and I was having a really bad time. To put it simple: I barely could walk because my legs wouldn't stop shaking. Now, I didn't know if I had hit my head hard, even though there wasn't pain or visible marks - I didn't know anything about what was happening to me and that was scary. So, my aunt drove me to the hospital and the first thing the neurologisy said was: "you could have this, either because you hit your head or because you had something different in your brain and it triggered that. OR, it could be induced by anxiety" and, god, that took 90% of the weight off of me. I did every test, everything was perfectly normal, and the conclusion was that I had passed out because of a series of psychological problems triggering physiological symptoms. By that point, I could already walk around without wheelchair and was discharged the next day. Just the fact that the doctor said "I'm not sure, but we will do everything to find out" already made me 50% better on the spot. The weight and power those words have are really incredible.

[@orbitalchild]

As a patient I feel much more comfortable and confident with a doctor who will say to me I don't know what the answer is but I'm going to find out rather than one that is overly confident but not paying a single bit of attention to what I'm telling them. Like the neurologist I first saw who took one look at me and without ordering any further testing told me I had a functional disorder and basically accused me of being hysterical. 6 years later I got into a much better neurologist who said I'm going to run these tests and if they come back negative here's what we'll do next. Little did I know that he already had an idea of what I had in his head. But the very next appointment I had with him he was able to definitively diagnosed me with yopd

[@PpP-dr1od]

I know I'm super late on this and your not likely to see it but as a non med fan, I feel like I have some insight into why other non med people like your stuff so much. You have a lot of videos that connect to stuff people either have experience w or know about like dealing w insurance companies, dealing with idiots that think they know more about medicine than you because they watched Doc Oz twice, being overly stressed by the constant grind of the hospital, and dealing with asshole doctors that want to flex their authority. You also do a really good job of explaining the inside baseball stuff in your videos like the nephrology cardiology beef or doctors ordering fluid incorrectly. Additionally, a lot of the jokes are about things people don't have to fully understand the intricacies of to relate to. I can't relate to 'doctor asked for an fluid administration of a drug that should've been administered orally' but I can relate to 'coworker made my life harder by not doing paperwork/their job properly and I can't get ahold of them to fix it'. If I want to understand the details to be even more in on the joke, I can watch one of a billion doctors react to your videos to hear them explain the accuracy of and detail behind the video. Finally, you do a really tremendous job of creating a universe with distinct and likeable characters. All of the characters have their own personalities and quirks if you showed us a picture of ortho or family medicine or neurosurgery we'd be able to describe their personality traits even though all three would be pictures of you with slightly different props. There's another shorts channel I watch called Bistro Huddy that works similarly. I was never a server for a restuarant, but I can laugh along because my experience at restaurants, my experiences at work, and my understanding of the characters with occasional explanations of inside baseball stuff let me in on the joke.

"Why on earth would non-medical people listen to you?" In a world where you can be given a mid-five-figure bill if your insurance company decides chest pain wasn't an emergency, and the wait list to get seen anywhere else is minimum 30 days, we are all, at the very least, our own triage nurses. We all face the same absurdities, even if some of us see them from the other side of the ophthalmoscope.

As a nonmedical follower: I love seeing the quirks of specialized people. I am around in the art world and can spot the Logo-designer, the motion designer, the childrens book illustrator, the concept artist, the art director, the design strategist, the photographer, the typographer, the product designer, the UI designer, the art historian, the curator... but people who manage to arrive at a medical speciality went there through insane training and dedication - it takes a certain type of person and i think its a fun observation. You have this in any professional field. Specific towards the medical community this is a question i asked all the doctors that i could talk well with (usually dentists...), what kind of stereotypes they observed. COKE was the thing the dentist blurted out and corrected himself with: well... at least it used to be ahaha haha. ha.

Have you considered interviewing us, the patients, in an episode? I’m chronically ill so I’ve seen just about every specialist there is and I think other chronically ill and disabled people would have an interesting perspective to give.

I don't typically watch podcasts, but I think this was a great video and pretty fun. The game was cute!

@Dr. Glaucomflecken here's something for one of your Adventure Diagnosis stories: my mom knew some girls at camp that didn't want to use the outhouse at night because it was "creepy". They went behind it instead. Too late, they realized they had no tp. They decided to use leaves instead. Unfortunately for them the leaves they grabbed were stinging nettle!
