Knock Knock Eye: Dr. Mike vs. Anti-Vaxxers: What Went Down on Surrounded?

In this episode, I dive into a mix of strange eye conditions, pop culture moments, and one very public showdown between a doctor and a group of anti-vaxxers on Jubilee’s Surrounded. But beyond the headlines, there’s a deeper conversation here—about what it costs to stay online, stay visible, and speak up. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even check your eyelids before bed. Takeaways: A Surprisingly Common Condition You’ve Probably Never Heard Of: It flips, it flops, and it might be the reason you wake up with irritated eyes. A Debate That Left More Than a Mark: What happens when a doctor faces off with misinformation... for hours? The emotional fallout might surprise you. Engaging Online: Heroic or Hopeless? Dr. Flanary asks the uncomfortable question: Is fighting misinformation on social media actually helping—or just draining the people trying to help? Sci-Fi Fails a Real-World Eye Test: Those high-tech retinal scanners in movies? There’s one big flaw they forgot to mention—and it could keep you out of your own evil lair. Trauma, TV, and Why It Might Still Be Worth Watching: One gritty show might be getting people into medicine… but is that a good thing? — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
