It's just me and Kristin rambling today, which means we started on the question of whether a med student bringing cookies to their residents is an act of genuine kindness or a brown-nosing power move, and I had to admit partway through that I definit... more

- Fun and enjoyable experience
I really enjoy listening to his podcast. I especially enjoyed him when he was on TikTok. But now it's wonderful to hear his podcast I've been listening to for maybe the past year or two. I've definitely gotten a good amount of enjoyment out of his podcast as they were entertaining and very informative.

I have enjoyed this podcast from when it first started Dr Glaucomflecken and Lady Glaucomflecken have a fun dynamic in their shared episodes and they always cover interesting topics. I particularly like the Knock Knock Eye episodes, it is fascinating to learn more about the eyes and hear the more nerdy side too.

I’m a family physician and truly enjoy hearing Dr. Glaucomflecken’s perspective on issues that face our medical community. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and intentionality with which he addresses some of the most polarizing topics in the medical conversation. Thank you for being a bright light (maybe not the best analogy for an ophthalmologist but I’m going with it) in today’s sometimes dark medical landscape.

I really enjoy the Knock Knock Hippocrates, particularly the knock knock eye episodes, it’s fascinating to learn about the eyes and hear Dr Glaucomflecken geek out about ophthalmology! His personality brings a lightness to even serious topics and makes it a fun listen
Apple Podcasts5Cats & Churros ChrisUnited States2 years ago - Smart, fun, accessible
Have loved all your skits since the beginning of the pandemic. Re future content: with the dissolution of the NIH, CDC, etc and increase in misinformation and conspiracy theories, you may want to provide basic public health info, unless your audience is already informed. Maybe a refresher on HCWs wearing respirators to protect their patients!
Thanks for your entertaining and informative infomercials - whichever direction you go will be great.
