Saying that bleach is acidic will result in many people commenting to correct you, which is good for the algorithm. Keep it up!

[@Tcheera]

hahaha, thank you for saying this so I don't have to!

[@sanachanto]

I was listening on Spotify and immediately had the look up the KZbin video to see how many people commented when I heard that 😂

[@dawnbarchett8026]

Yes, Lady G...nurses are the glue that holds everything together, even when it is all falling apart at the seams.

[@neutrinobuddy]

Gosh Kristin has such a knack for hosting, I can listen to you guys talk for ages but the way she directs conversations and adds to things is masterful

[@ladyglaucomflecken]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that. 😊

[@Maggies87]

Oops, Doc G! Chlorine Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is basic; the pH for regular bleach is 11.4 per Clorox Material Safety Data Sheet.

[@DGlaucomflecken]

Ah that’s right, my bad. Thanks for the fact check. I was never good at chemistry 😂

[@Maggies87]

@@DGlaucomfleckenattribution goes to my daughter, a middle school science teacher who talked me through the acid and bases lab she was writing up while visiting for the weekend. It’s a hands-on lab with common, safe, substances (no Clorox!). Really enjoyed today’s podcast. Thank you.

[@DrEsky914]

Once had a dental surgeon tell me on the phone to rinse my oozing surgical site (extracted wisdom tooth!) with chlorox bleach and then he thought about what he just said and followed up with "and then call me so I know you are ok!" hahaha!

[@thelostant]

Worked with Rana. She an awesome physician and an even better person.

[@ladyglaucomflecken]

Agreed! One of humanity’s best.

[@deycihernandez7089]

With all due respect to lady Glaucomflecken, he is indeed the pretty face :)

[@nobody8328]

On the bright side, Glaucomfleckin LLC won't ever have to worry about trademark infringement! 😂

[@thizper]

As a non-native English speaker, I have to say this kind of “accidentally” wrong phraseology is my favorite thing to do to people.

[@neutrinobuddy]

Oh oh oh the acid base thing is something I learned a few months ago! Basically when you get something acidic in your eye, there are natural buffers within the eye that will help neutralize the acid to an extent and keep it from penetrating further and causing more damage. If you get an alkaline liquid in your eye, theres no buffers for alkaline so it can stay just as strong and penetrate deeper and cause more damage. Sorry using layman's terms I know theres other mechanisms that play a part but yeah, from what I was taught that's why alkali is worse for your eyes than acid (they're both bad though, please dont put fluids in your eyes that arent meant for your eyes)

[@Frankie_Lee2]

Just seeing this new direction Flanarys are taking. Go team, wishing you much success. Off to binge and catch up. P.S. I’ve always thought you were handsome, Dr. G. You married up in beauty. ❤ P.P.S. Rana Awdish, MD is hilarious, brilliant, and compassionate. Medicine needs more like her. Will check out her book, thanks.

[@Tcheera]

As someone with EDS and the genetics on both sides and the long undiagnosed poor proprioception-- "growing pains" and "genetic clumsy" were definitely something I used to think were real. Being able to fall down at any time is awesome. Thinking that your family is cursed or that maybe you did something awful in a former life in spite of not believing in those things can be a challenge. I think I have fallen down more flights of stairs, run into more walls, and tripped over my own foot (singular -- I just need one foot to trip), than I've probably made it walking safely down any of those things prior to having proprioception training. And I still need to walk like Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady with a book on my head to avoid it. The worst, though, is when you get blindsided by something that you couldn't be aware of like those grown over booby trap holes in the grass or if something just falls on you. Yeah just dropping things happens all the time, that's normal. But I had my terrible crappy apartment have a ceiling fan collapse on my head in the kitchen, and had it knock down several vases and wine bottles as it came down and then as I was trying to avoid the blades I slipped on one smaller wine bottle, and landed full force on my hip / SI joint on a big wine bottle, all in a pile of broken glass. How did that happen? FML, that's how.

[@TwistedGlitter]

Glaucomflecken is a good name. It's memorable, the energy behind it matches the vibe of the skits.

[@angelique707]

Your face is the Johnny Depp of doc faces! I love it! 😂

[@trybeinggr8239]

Dr. Awdish is awesome 😀 thank you for this podcast. So entertaining.

[@wackyvorlon]

A friend of mine once got a little potassium permanganate in his eye. He was handling a bottle of it, it had a little on the outside, and he rubbed his eye after. He had to spend a while at the hospital with his eye being flushed. Apparently it was thoroughly painful.

[@asanti75]

I really enjoying your show , Dr G !

[@trybeinggr8239]

Can we please get a pulmonologist character 😀

[@sanachanto]

Oh my goodness the “blazers” “lasers” mix up had me rolling hahaha

[@christopherhickie4194]

Your rapport is great.

[@hmpesky08]

She's JOHNATHAN of the LLC

[@juliabinford6500]

Fun to hear all the stories. Still imagining the rubber band finger repair.. Thanks to all!

[@tboul]

Best Episode so far, by far !!! - What a great guest! - TFB recently retired (Thank God!) pediatric radiologist.

[@ewilson22683]

Not a medical person, but I love your podcast (and other content). I listen, laugh and learn every week. I'm squeamish when it comes to medical stuff, but you have helped demystify the process and make it seem less clinical and more human. Thank you!

[@just_some_commenter]

Hilarious stories this episode! You know there's a problem with the medical system in this country when an actual doctor tried to repair her finger at home with rubber bands rather than just go to the hospital.

[@jobethk588]

Enjoyable, interesting, fun and informative.

[@janinawaz4596]

Very handsome face, only very slightly outshined by your wife's beauty. Glaucomflecken sounds like a cool engineering firm. And Lady G can say she's the CEO of a video and media production company. Laundry bleach is alkaline BTW.

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

Yayyt!!!! Detroit, MI. I'm a medical biller and coder in the dearborn area

[@voxfugit]

Loved this episode especially. I’m up to 18 operations and am getting ready to start dialysis. Will read her book to see if how it fits.

[@robinbraun8278]

We need mugs, and t-shirts! Jonathan for President!

[@carols-corner]

I’d love episodes with @MamaDoctorJones and Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) 😂

[@jessicayoung8530]

My son got super glue in his eye one time..🤦🏼‍♀️

[@ZPerpetua]

My cousin always thought it was hilarious to send me these horrific eye injuries that he would be dealing with in patients. He was such an ass, and I miss him. I still cringe at memory of the fish hook through the cornea one 😵‍💫

[@marykirschman6625]

LOVED this episode.

[@ANDRSNS]

You guys sound like an old married couple. Oh, wait XD

[@mytube785]

20:00 a great story but not for dinner parties 😅😂

[@sarahmckay2153]

Hello! Kristen - Love the colour on your sweater! Is that a heart?

[@ladyglaucomflecken]

Thanks! And yes, it is 🫀

[@annastaciamiddleton6390]

The voice....nice face, great teeth. That and it's exactly like being at work ( midwife in tertiary hosp - obstetric Consultants, look into them!)

[@FxdGearQueer]

wohoo, new episode 💫

[@sewpungyow5154]

12:28 fyi, most bleaches are bases

[@LeighRoyals]

I love the Love memo on the black screen.

[@Seyfsha]

But we love "Glaukenfleken" or whatever it's its name.........

[@qienna6677]

Man, I wish I had that doctor that gave the fentanyl when I was 7 and passing kidney stones :O Paracetamol just doesn't cut it!

[@antoniomromo]

Definitely the pretty face.

[@scrumptious9673]

Loved it! Get MedLifeCrisis on please!

[@judynewman8937]

I love Glaucomfleckin(sp?) ! Two B.E.A.utiful faces! You remind me of M&M Ryan Reynolds.

[@SevenMrTee]

3:33 Seems like he needs a Jonathan.

[@coolguyculero7577]

Algorithm recommended this to me. After hearing the bleach comment I understood why lmaooo

[@Seeingteacupsindragons]

Watching the two of you, I am just baffled about how your kids seem to have straight hair.

[@Martinsspiegel]

Will has a great face!

[@csueconner9711]

Love your show but have problems finding a full hour to watch. Will you be doing any 20-30 minute shows?

[@awaredeshmukh3202]

I split it up and just watch in pieces

[@OneKindWord]

Will is obviously Will, but who is Kristen or Christen?

[@denisemangan1413]

During my first day as a Student Nurse in a surgical ward I was assigned a patient to bed bathe. So with curtains drawn I started the task. In the next bed I could hear muffled groans & moans, then all of a sudden a fellow student ran out calling for staff to come quickly. I stopped what I was doing & ventured outside the curtain & there was the student. I asked her what had happened & she said in an exasperated voice that as she was turning the (obese) patient (by herself), that the (abdominal) sutures (40cm midline) had broken and that the patient’s bowel was spilling out.

[@leemontgomery7914]

Wow, am I simple-minded…I thought that “Glaucomfleken” was your actual real last name!😳😂😂

[@judynewman8937]

I'm in the clumsy club! I worry that it could be karma because I sell MAPDs (Medicare Part C). Lol.

[@nperegri]

Omg lady G always stuns me with her beauty 😍😍😍

[@ladyglaucomflecken]

Thank you, that’s so nice! 😊

[@paulocuaresma9480]

Yes you are the pretty face hahaha

[@linuxranch]

This is a case of dysFUNctional - putting the fun in dysfunctional.

[@RecklessFables]

This women missed her calling as professional Jenga player.

Hello

[@daaara]

someone loves momo... mom?

[@marystone1471]

Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

[@dawnsonmorgan4100]

HOW? I would appreciate if you show me how to do that, I'm interested?

[@graymason9718]

This must be an investment with Mr Mason Wheller

[@kingsleymoore2354]

So delighted seeing my broker talked bout on KZbin, this was exactly how I got recommendation bout Mr Wheller , At First I was a bit skeptical but eventually I gave him, a trail with my little investment and I got huge profit.

[@bobbrown4998]

Wow I’m shocked you mentioned and recommended his trading services, I thought people don’t know him he’s really awesome

[@ronaldchapman7379]

got 80% of my total portfolio in CRYPTO and it has been a great returns

[@qienna6677]

Hate to say it, Lady Glauc is prettier ;)

[@aaauto466]

Would love to see foot doc dana

[@karlsaleh4157]

I think it's a pretty face

[@enriquefederico6807]

Imagine her impersonating a female neurosurgeon o neurology that’ll be funny

[@kinginthecastle1191]

Great Show! But please Lady GF, why so mean? Maybe tone it down a bit 😢

[@OneMondBand]

Awesome interview! One word to Lady G.: You come off as toxic and caustic...a bit too snarky towards Will. It may seem funny to you but it's not a good look... and I certainly hope you're not like that with Will in real life. We want you all to be happy 😀Best of luck! Doctor here, BTW (internal medicine).

[@karenkenna2249]

Wow! Seriously?!!

[@daniellebrackett4905]

All this guy's comments are critical. I think he needs a Lady G to bring a little humility into his life! Her love language is clearly acts of service, which she demonstrated in profound ways by saving his life and leaving her successful career behind to boost his.

[@OneMondBand]

@@karenkenna2249 chill out. I bet you don't take constructive criticism very well.

[@FxdGearQueer]

@@OneMondBand "toxic and caustic" ... "constructive criticism" ✅️checks out

[@Maggies87]

I think @OneMondBand meant well, and creators should look at all audience perceptions, at least early on. My 2 cents, for what it’s worth: I find myself hoping that Lady G. will relax over time - perhaps choose a more comfortable chair (very fidgety and leaning forward), slow speech rate a tad, and match Dr. G’s tone of affectionate banter while still being herself. Perhaps stress, nerves, and time pressures (not appearing entirely in the moment) are showing? Doc G. clearly recognizes and appreciates as the essential powerhouse behind the LLC, as do we! HUGE THANKS to Lady G. for everything from being a tiny powerhouse doing lifesaving CPR on the big guy to running the LLC, all the channels, and the many things we don’t see. I do think the business/marketing/grind side of the LLC needs to remain a bit hidden - Audiences want to see the creative content and not feel like dollar signs (even though we are!).

[@kinginthecastle1191]

Great Show! But please Lady GF, why so mean? Maybe tone it down a bit 😢
