I love that Jonathan has perfected his Dr. Flanery impression. Good show Jonathan.
He's nodding his head so hard it's sounding and looking like speech!
Incredible. Only Jonathan could.
It's good of Texaco Mike to hold down the fort.
Actually, he has a passion for bringing truth to healthcare, wrapped in a comfortable gel capsule of humor. :-)
For some it might be considered a suppository ;)
@@davidskeith He's an ophthalmologist -- that's the other end of the body. 😀
@@jcortese3300 I’m a family Doc/OB so I’d be happy to administer the other side ;)
Well said
We forget Will Flanary is an intelligent & articulate doctor because we only see the many character stylings of DR. Glaucomflecken. DR. Flanary is not only Glaucomflecken, but we are glad he has brought us DR. Glaucomflecken. ❤️
Everything and sa
To be honest, to be able to deliver that many characters, often convincingly and with different speech patterns and quirks... you must be intelligent and articulate.
Did you Just Do an ortho marathon?
Ima be honest, I thought he just had a very apt last name until now
No!!!!! He has a real name :( :(
He's like the Ryan Reynolds of Ophthalmology / Med comedy. Love this guy.
One of my favorite bits is the "Code royal blue". "It's like a code blue, but the nearest doctor to the patient is an ophthalmologist"
An eye doctor is probably the best person to help us see all the ills in the system.
He plays Dr Will Flanary so well.
But seriously, I really appreciate his work and it's good seeing get all the love in the world 🙌
As a physician, I can personally attest that all of the videos I have viewed so far are absolutely true. The same nonsense (insurance denials, not medically necessary even though the patient is in the ICU, etc.) has been personally experienced, and it is only getting worse.
Are you serious? It’s getting worse?
@@renny3816 I'm not surprised. :(
Retired R.N. here: I've done my share of utilization reviews and pre-authorizations with insurance companies. It's ridiculous! It robs the patients of needed care, ties up clinical man hours better spent with patients, and provides inadequate funding compensation for services rendered thereby crippling an already flailing delivery system.
@kellyharper367 Thank you. What do you and all the patients you helped. And saved!! I detest the insurance companies.
It is extra funny to see ophthomologist audience reacting to these ophthomologist related videos 😂😂😂

I love Dr. "Glaucomflecken" ! He's a talented comic who happens to be a doctor. He's also got a great prescription for the medical community and I hope they adopt it. I have always felt that humor is the best medicine. My late husband and I used humor to get through so many health problems, from cancer to brain surgery. I believe the Lord gave us humor to help us cope with life and thankfully He gave us talented comics like Dr. Flanary to teach us to laugh at ourselves and at life's difficult moments. God bless you Dr Flanary. I pray you have good health and a happy life.
Paraphrasing Nietzche here: Without humour, life would be a mistake.
This really just makes me respect him as a person 20x more than I did prior.
Good work Jonathan!!! You've perfectly guised yourself as Dr William flanary !!!
I love my eye doctor. He's just like Dr. GLAUC. Only he has 2 bengal cats that he loves very much. As a fellow cat person, i asked for pictures. He obliged. Longest eye appointment I ever had. 😆
NO WAY!!! I thought I saw him in DC a few weeks ago, and I thought it was just a guy who looked really like him!!!
I'm so glad that Dr. Glaucomfleken played an extraordinary ophthalmologist at a medical conference. Now maybe we can get back to see if Jonathan has a Jonathan.😉
I like how he admitted being a doctor is the easier route than comedy. Im a doctor and musician, and being a doctor ia arguably the easier route, and its not even easy!
I adore Dr. Flanary!!! His content has done so much for highlighting problems in medicine and health care profession.
Dr Flanary is a great role model in medicine. Incredible guy
I have a Jonathan, her name is Julie. And she makes everything happen
In the Ophthalmology ward Royal Adelaide Hospital-where I worked as a student nurse- the Ophthalmologist was called: Dr C. Moore
Will Flannery is a class act. I am only a retired RN, but I looove his videos and loved this talk, too 🤩 "Please keep up this very valuable good work!" 😊
I show the Aetna Tik Tok to my patients all the time!
You’re what we need more of in the world. I wouldn’t have made it this many years as a Psych RN without humor…
dark humor I see 🌚
I have severe medical problems and also a cardiac arrest and coma issue from last year. You have no idea how much I laugh and joke; when I’m sick or anxious there’s not one moment that I’m not smiling or laughing bc he’s right, it does help me take back control. Unfortunately, I’m not great at comedy and many people think I’m just some immature college student but it really helps me. You can’t get through extreme pain and mental/physical anguish by sobbing and being sad. Right now, I have tramadol in my system, am heating my ankles (RA), and despite severe pain I’m laughing from watching this video; as humans, we physically cannot be sad and putty ourselves for the rest of our lives. We must find ways to cope and, although quite odd to certain groups of people, it’s very helpful for some of us. :) I loved this video and thank you for making me laugh.
Actually, medicine and humor are a great combo! It's how patients AND doctors cope!!
Dr Patch Adams is another great who should be better known to everyone for his humor and contributions to medicine :) jsut we didnt have social media then, but we did have Robin Williams play him in a movie
😊😊😊
So cool to see Dr. Glaucomfleken's new character, I really like this one
I like the humor as advocacy thing. I think it works because people see us as this ivory tower of healthcare thats absolutely unapproachable when, realistically we'ee all just people. Comedy breaks down that barrier between the patient and tge healthcare system
Have to admit, watching Dr Glaucomflecken helped me develop more respect for doctors
I'm very glad this turned out so well, for Dr Flanary and his family. A great example to encourage people to learn CPR. And cheers to you, Kristin!
I think he does what he does with a lot of class and professionalism. I would be the one crying all the time telling my jokes with that subject matter. There’s a time for graveness and there is a time for lightness and rarely can they mix successfully. Bravo!
In Arabic, there is a proverb: شر البلية ما يضحك
the worst of calamities brings cause for laughter.
I guess we all must have some appreciation to life’s most fascinating feature: life.
I love this. Its nice to see the real person behind Dr Gloucomfleken. I didn't know about the cancer thing as only seen his content though youtube.
We really need more doctors nerses and professionals in the field to do this kind of thing.
TBH we need more professionals in general to show us when they're as frustrated as us with the hoops that 'the public' needs to go through.
@@leadpaintchips9461 absolutely agree.
He did the legendary Jonathan nod
I think that was Jonathan's nod instead🤣🤣
@@Careless-Scholar ah yes i stand corrected good sir xD
Dr. Flanary you are a wonderful human being.......wish there were a million more of you!
Health insurance does take advantage of patients. Thank you for this presentation and so many others.
I really enjoy seeing the Dr. Glaucomfleken videos. Having worked in the medical field as an RN, I can truly appreciate the contents of the videos. I too have used levity throughout my career and personal life to survive. Thank you for this presentation.
A comedian doctor! It's so rare. I love you Dr.
Dr. Flanary, thank you for all the laughs!
What a treasure to have this young man doing his thing…..excellent!!!
Thank you for sharing his presentation at that conference. He is amazing
We need more people like Dr. Glaucomflecken! Thank you for this.
People like this come by through great deal genuine hardship and not through copy/paste. You would not appreciate it being done all the time.
Came for the jokes, stayed for the Ophthalmology
Thank you for your humour and also your education through humour. I'm a politics student, and a semi-regular flyer at the ER (due to migraines). To those of us in countries with any sense of social security & 'universal' healthcare system, a lot of what you talk about with regard to authorisations for tests, medicine, and sugeries, seems terribly wild and, frankly, inhumane.
The absolute worst part is that he's.... not wrong. The emotions that are there from the 'bad guys' in his skits aren't as overt as he makes them, but the steps are spot on.
It's pure hell sometimes. I was undiagnosed with lupus for 20 years because they were sure it wasn't lupus. But it was. After several near death experiences they finally effing listened to me.
Having spent 13 years in Canada, I'd still rather be in the US medical system.
@@lisamarieneilson9428wow, that's scary! 😬
I was an Optometric, then Ophthalmic Asst for 20+ yrs. I'm sooooooooo glad Dr. Flanery is an Ophthalmologist!!!!!!!!
He shines light how entitled we are just because we are doctors...😁
tbf wanting to throw up at the sight of an Excel spreadsheet is a normal healthy reaction
24:13 the collective sigh had me bursting with laughter!
As a German speaker, his pronunciation of „Glaukomflecken“ is painful to hear 😂
Great presentation. Thanks for the upload.
Ich bin Deutsche lernen, und ich habe es auch hassen. (Still practicing, sorry if I made errors)
@@startledmilk6670 I love your name! I think you meant to say: "Ich lerne Deutsch und ich habe es auch gehasst." And a more natural way to say you hated it too would be "Ich fand es auch furchtbar/schrecklich." Keep on learning you're doing well :)
It's nice seeing people learn or trying learn German ❤️
@@Emma-Maze ah yes I always forget German doesn’t have present continuous and I honestly just totally forgot to add past tense😂 it’s been two years and I still make stupid mistakes
@@JohnMushitu Es ist eine komplizierte Sprache, meine Sprachkenntnisse sind noch nicht sehr gut. Aber ich liebe die Sprache!
I'm ortho (Switzerland), this bro is cool
I’m a career CNA, great dialogue and humor we all can relate to.
Z. 😮o
I'm not in the health industry but that was an excellent video with humor and a beautiful message. Best!!
That's amazing he made this. Thanks for posting. I can't wait to see more.
Wow he is so resilient
What a great talk…excellent use of humour to convey key points. Dr. Will is really a great human being
The man the myth the legend.
A beautiful Soul. Thanks, Doc!
It is criminal what we expect people to do to use their insurance. Elderly have enough problems just obtaining insurance and going to multiple Dr’s without trying to navigate their insurance. It is criminal.
I agree about medicine and humour ....as an Oncology RN I use humour to lighten up a dismal day I often get smiles
This mention of chest compressions must also make Doctor Mike quite happy.
My thought exactly xD
Oh wow, I adore his videos which make me laugh so much but he has gone up even more now in my estimation, what a guy. Regards from family doctor with his glasses on crooked 👍
Love the philosophy and Freud inclusions. He was crazy, but also brilliant.
**Nods in Jonathan**
Thanks for posting this! I had missed it.
actually did the Johnathan nodd
I was hoping this would be posted! Love his TH-cam/TikTok videos!
I'm so glad you watch him too.
This is gonna be the most viewed ASCRS video
Only knew his comedy sketches. Really insightfull
personally i would find me a texaco mike ,dude can do anything
Dartmouth classy. Thanks for the voice of truth to power.
You did a great job rising to the occasion, Dr G!
Extraordinary human being, ticks all my right boxes, hats off!
Thanks, I've watched a lot of his Shorts on TH-cam and gotten a lot of laughs. I guess every workplace has stuff that makes no sense but not every workplace has someone who can turn it in into comedy.
Thanks for posting this! What an inspiration to all of us. -Peter Kim, ENT
Thanks for posting. What a talent !
ASCRS... I saw the title and was wondering why he was talking to the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.
im so happy to have chanced upon this video. wonderful, funny and insightful.
yes thank you for sharing doctor awesome video
This was delightful to listen to. ❤️
What a brilliant presentation ❤
YES! Let’s go Dr. Flanary!
So smart, so funny! Don't stop, please!
Great presentation he is so awesome
I’m Jonathan C Maynor, an eye cancer survivor. Thanks, Doc.
Great upload! Thank you Dr Wong
That was a great presentation
Greatly appreciate and enjoy Dr Glauc’s humor and spot-on videos. Proud to see this fellow graduate of training at U of Iowa College of Medicine. I then practiced in rural Iowa for 25 years. Love the rural clinic videos!
Thanks for sharing doctor!
Tks doc. Tks doc. Wong to sens this and doc.Flanary
How did Will’s petite wife do effective CPR for 10 minutes? Even body builders with 20 inch biceps would struggle to do chest compressions for 10 minutes. As a cardiac nurse, my guess is that there was divine intervention 😇
The humor is excellent!
And the best part is we’ve somehow convinced people that private healthcare companies are better than what nearly every other modern country has…universal healthcare.
thank you for sharing this
Will Flanary is his real name. Good to know. Glaucomflecken was too convenient.
That was awesome!
This was frickin awesome 😎
Thanks!
(I missed it too)
this is awesome
He is awesome
That was a nice presentation.
His joke about learning to check prostates was hilarious, and the ophthalmologist totally missed it!!
