Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens

Glauc Talk: Fixing Healthcare One Smell at a Time


Listen Later

So this episode started with a Reddit post about a guy who thinks his poop smells like his patients’ poop... and I wish I could say it gets less weird from there, but no—it really doesn’t.

Kristin and I spiral into the science (and total lack of science) behind smell memory, hospital food, and whether we’re all just walking around slowly absorbing our work environments.


Spoiler: if you're in ophthalmology, congrats—you’re mostly scent-neutral. Unless you've ever used a slit lamp on someone mid-GI crisis.


I also revisit 30 Days of Healthcare and question a few of my creative choices (including a weird little sketch about fixing healthcare with just vibes and prior auths). And because I clearly haven’t suffered enough, we open up the brand new First Aid for Step 1 (2025 edition) and test how much I remember from med school. It’s… not great.


Takeaways:

There’s a Reddit post you can’t unread—and now we all have Deja P.


We may be slowly absorbing our patients… through scent.


Kristin puts Will’s med school knowledge to the test. It does not go well.


Sneeze guards: good for spit, better for smell trauma.


We’re trying to make medical education funny again. Starting with capitation. And poop.
