FYI, Dr. Glaucomflecken is an ophthalmologist and has a YouTube channel full of medical comedy bits. I'd link it but I'm too tired from writing and triple-checking "Glaucomflecken" and "ophthalmologist".

Thank you! Yay, teamwork makes the fediverse go 'round!
I’m a doctor and every time I write ophthalmologist I’m surprised at how many H’s there and where they end up.
Phenolphthalein is a similar experience, as a chemist
So strange to surround a T with Hs like that
Of you could just not worry about it in any language that spells words sensibly. It's fenolftalein where I live.
As if my brain will let me misspell stuff, ever
I know, right? At least it's not otorhinolaryngology.
Oh you mean ENT? I refuse to acknowledge the existence of any other term for the specialty.
He's awesome. And hes doing real activism for the fucked up US medical system.
Is his name genuinely that close to Glaucoma or is it a "stage" name. If real, I think that's wild he chose to become an ophthalmologist.
It’s a stage name. His real name is Will Flanary and Glaucomflecken is a medical term:
Flecken is German for spots. Glaukomflecken just means glaucoma spots.
Oh shit, I know that channel and didn’t pick up who it was until your comment made me look closer at his profile picture. He’s pretty damn funny with healthcare relevant comedy.
I totally understand. Nice work on those words, especially if you’re on your phone.
Appreciate your appreciation ❤️
He also has an eyeball themed podcast called Knock Knock, Hi.
*Knock Knock, Eye!
The feed says Knock Knock, Hi! but some episodes are titled Knock Knock, Eye.

With a name like "Glaucomaflecken," he was destined to become an opthalmologist.
I'm apparently already subscribed to him, but looks like he mostly does shorts...? I've avoided those things like the plague...
I want to watch his videos but don't really want to open the Pandora box that is shorts, trying to make me scroll forever until I'm brain dead
