Being Better, Together

Episode 4: Dr Glaucomflecken on comedy and laughter in healthcare


Listen Later

Dr Will Flanary is an ophthalmologist and a comedian.  Over the last few years, Will's alter ego, "Dr Glaucomflecken" has taken social media by storm with a wealth of comedy sketches making light of a wide variety of situations in which we work in healthcare.  In this conversation, we discuss the origins of Dr Glaucomflecken; the impact of positive feedback on how we feel and how we perform; the role of laughter and comedy in healthcare; and what makes for appropriate humour in our work.

Below is a list of some of the references from the conversation:
