Knock Knock Eye: A Thanksgiving Thank-You Tour Through My Life
Knock Knock, Hi! with the GlaucomfleckensAbout this episode
This week, I’m doing something different. No eyeball emergencies, no angry rants about healthcare, just gratitude. In this Thanksgiving special, I’m giving thanks to the people who shaped me: my high school English teacher who believed in my writing, the German teacher who let me hide pencils in my hair, the residency mentor who saw the future ophthalmologist before I did, and, of course, Lady Glaucomflecken, for saving my life and still occasionally letting me win arguments. It’s a trip through memory, laughter, and a few truly terrible cafeteria meals. Takeaways: How one sarcastic high school teacher helped launch Dr. Glaucomflecken’s comedy career. Why reading Pride and Prejudice didn’t stick, but satire did. The German teacher who taught Will the power of laughter (and great comedic timing). The med school mentor who predicted his future in ophthalmology before he did. A heartfelt thank-you to Lady G, the real hero behind every punchline (and heartbeat).
