73 Questions with an Ophthalmologist ft. Dr. Glaucomflecken | ND MD

Welcome to the finale of 73 Questions with ND MD. This video, and this series, highlights different medical specialties to give you a better idea of what it is like in the life of a full time attending or resident physician...and now healthcare professional students of various healthcare careers or programs! On this episode, Dr. Will Flanary (also known as Dr. Glaucomflecken across his millions of followers), an attending Ophthalmologist, walks us through his passion for one of the most sought after and highly requested specialties in this series. This is a field for the physicians who desire the skillset of microsurgery and have a passion for drastically improving quality of life through life changing vision treatment. Listen to his memorable stories, excitement, and insightful passion that makes Dr. Flanary an outstanding surgeon and inspiration to millions who desire a career in ophthalmology, and to a greater extent, a career in medicine. Thank you Dr. Flanary for your time and for giving us a look into the life of a Ophthalmologist!
And thank you, the viewer. Whether you see this the first day this is uploaded or a decade after, thank you for finding this channel and this 73Q series that has taught me so much over my time in medical school. I hope you learned as much as I did as I close the curtains on this chapter of the channel. I am eternally grateful for the opportunities this series has given me and the immense amount of mentorship and friendship I have gained with each guest. My only hope is that if one person sees or hears these stories, we would have gained one more better doctor or better person in this world.

Incredible work. To be enjoyed for years to come 🫡🫡

No better way to sign off than with the great Dr. Flanary aka Glaucomflecken!

Dr. G cmon legendary

[@chinmaysingh2744]

Not gonna lie, I was searching for this yesterday 😂 I’m trying to get into Ophthalmology this year and really needed some perspective about it. And also great work on these 73Qs. Really loved the whole series.❤

[@GuacASMR]

Thank you for this series!! It’s really provided me (and I’m sure so many others) with unique, raw perspectives on medical specialties that are tough to find elsewhere. Can’t wait to revisit these videos when I start the match process next year! Best of luck to you, Dr. ND!!!!

[@DGlaucomflecken]

This turned out way better than my idea of answering each question as a different character. Would have been a bit much. Well done and thanks for visiting Oregon!

[@annmariecraig147]

I'm a first year ophthalmology resident and this was the hardest year of my life taking primary call! Your videos give me hope for a brighter future. I can't wait to be a second year in less than 3 months. I love you Dr. GF!

WHEN AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE RUNS INTO AN IMMOVABLE OBJECT

[@Dreamsofahomesickalien]

Dr. G's answer to "If you could change one thing about the medical field right now, what would it be?" is probably the best answer to this question ever. Affordable and accessible care is the most important thing we need right now and my generation is working on changing that. Like he said, it's easy to keep your head and and just simply do your job, but more healthcare workers are speaking up about it in hopes for change. /thread.

[@lea-analowery4585]

I can’t believe you got Glaucomflecken!!! What a crowning achievement in your 73 Questions Series. I’ll miss them. Thank you so much Andy! Best of luck in your residency 🙏🏾

I’m recently losing my sight..normal pressure glaucoma and ARMD and cataracts. My ophthalmologist has saved me. He’s my hero.

22:05 I have homonymous hemianopia. I’m in my 20s. If I need to go somewhere, I have to have someone drive me there since I can’t drive. It’s tough because I don’t have the independence. But I have accepted it and adapted to it.

Wow! I just discovered your series! . I’m an 80 year old woman. My husband has lots of health issues. About 4 years ago he had a very bad stomach bleed, almost lost him. The resident at that time kept me informed about his condition and tests. I remember him calling me at four in the morning to come down as he was in critical condition. The doctors eventually found the bleed and closed it. I the resident was at the end of his rotation. I thought he’d be great as an internist with his good bedside manner but turned out he was going into opthamology! Many of your videos remind me of some of the doctors we encountered during his many hospital stays( particularly the “hospitalist” one. I know you don’t particularly think out healthcare system is good, but from what we experienced as seniors couldn’t have been better.! Thanks so much for your funny videos and didn’t realize you yourself was acting in them.❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethbrammer7022]

As a rare disease patient with a HUUUUUGE history of ON causing ptosis of my left eye, I adore you and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel when looking at neuro content lol! I had two blephs performed on my left eye, and also having both of my eyes scraped of webs that developed from viral pink eye due to immunodeficiency, so BLESS YOU. The eyes are definitely fascinating! Would love to know your perspective on neuro-opthos lol, I feel like they’re their own special breed!

[@martinkretzer3212]

Finally Dr. G !!! It’s about time. Please 72Q with each character ….. especially emergency :) ❤️☺️👁️👁️

[@alitantawy2222]

What a finale for the series!

[@sam33naR]

An excellent close to the series, thank you so much Andy for taking us through these different journeys with these providers and showing us a new way of story-telling, and uplifting these real humans behind their titles!

[@fran0162]

Thank you for taking the time to devote to this series! You couldnt have ended with a better guest! Great video!

[@tinatoosi299]

What a stellar interview. Dr. Flanary’s responses to the last few questions were so personal and inspiring 🥲 Thank you for this Andy and I wish you all the best on your future endeavors!

[@Dreamsofahomesickalien]

I've been waiting for this collab!! 😍 Thanks Andy and Dr. Glaucomflecken for this 73 questions! One of the most honest, down to earth interviews ever. Love the special appearance by Tabitha and I would simply pass away if I had to do IM and rounds 😂

[@m5073]

Your answer about how patients have high expectations is so spot on and I feel is relevant to all specialties in medicine. I’m an emergency physician and patient expectations just over the past 5 years have been so insane man. Everyone wants fixed now, wants answers now, and will be livid if you do not get them what they want.

[@shad3128]

Its a consequence of the abundance of availability. Everything is at everyones fingertips. All of our patience is reduced, so our patients become.... less.. patient. Watch that asian dudes standup on this. "Prime now. Never leave your house. One pen bleghhhhh want it now with some napkins in another box fly it across and ship now!!" Guess what - we all did it to ourselves buddy.

[@nightbot41]

what a way to end the series, good luck in residency Andy!

[@aaas6348]

I’m going to miss these 73Q series but I know how busy your schedule is. Also congratulations on your Match Andy. Will always support your channel! 😊

Dr Flannery....Many thanks. When I was on a submarine, I thought I had a perfed globe on one of the sailors.....I appreciated the opth when we pulled in and ran him to the hospital after 0100....

[@ahoustonpsych]

Loved this series. Perfect end cap. I would've loved seeing more youtube personalities, like Doctor Mike and Dr. K. Best wishes to you in residency and your future endeavors.

[@humansizedaperture]

Thank you so much for this video. America does not have nearly enough doctors and people need to be aware of the field. Such a good resource.

Cataract surgery is wonderful. I struggled with astigmatism all my life but cataract surgery really helped. Wonderful to just wear reading glasses for closeup work and sunglasses for driving. This 80 year old woman cheers opthamalogists. Only thing I have now is dry eyes.

As a telephone advice, nurse for a major Northern California inventor the HMO I love calling ophthalmology on call of all the specialties. I might have to on a weekend. They’re always so nice. They’re willing to go into the hospital into the clinic but in the hospital and they yell at you. Hail ophthalmology.
