Emergency Minute A Conversation With Dr. Glaucomflecken
Send us a text
In this powerful and hilarious episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Flanary, AKA Dr. Glaucomflecken, to talk about the night that changed everything: the sudden cardiac arrest that nearly took his life, and the quick action of his wife, Kristin, that saved it.
We explore the personal and professional aftermath of that medical emergency, and dive into some of the systemic issues that frustrate both patients and providers—especially the role insurance companies play in distorting care.
But through it all, Will shares how humor has become his scalpel—cutting through the bureaucracy, burnout, and brokenness of modern healthcare with wit, empathy, and a healthy dose of satire. Whether you’re a physician, a patient, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you informed, inspired, and laughing through the pain.
Takeaways
- The importance of CPR and the trauma it causes loved ones.
- Humor can be a powerful tool in discussing serious healthcare issues.
- The healthcare system is often broken and needs reform.
- Communication is key in emergency medicine.
- Advocacy for patients is crucial in the healthcare system.
- The emotional toll on family members during medical emergencies is significant.
- Healthcare professionals often bear the brunt of public frustration.
