I'm back in the corporate practice of medicine content cycle, this time on the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act, a new federal bill modeled on Oregon's landmark CPOM law. It closes the MSO / PC ""friendly physician"" loophole that corporations like Apollo MD use to get around existing laws in 34 states, and it kills non-competes and non-disparagement clauses so hospital-employed doctors can finally speak out. It's not perfect, nonprofit hospitals are exempt, but I support it. My answer to declining reimbursement isn't to sell to private equity, it's to work together: merge practices, form IPAs, unionize where employed. Physicians are terrible at group projects, and it's costing us.After the break, an update on GLP-1s and NAION now that the lawsuits are hitting mainstream media. The correlation is real, the causation isn't proven, and the comorbidities overlap heavily. Don't stop your GLP-1 based on a news story, talk to your doctor about your specific risk factors. But if you have sudden painless vision loss on the medication, see an eye doctor immediately. Takeaways: The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act closes the MSO / PC "friendly physician" loophole that corporations use to circumvent existing corporate practice of medicine laws in 34 states. The bill also eliminates non-competes and non-disparagement clauses, freeing hospital-employed physicians to speak out about harmful practices without fear of retribution. The critique that killing private equity gives nonprofit hospitals free rein misses the point,  hospitals and PE are aligned on profit motives, not competitors. Will's answer to declining reimbursement isn't selling to PE, it's merging practices, forming independent physician associations, and unionizing where employed. On GLP-1s and NAION, the current signal is correlation, not causation, don't stop the medication based on news coverage, but seek immediate care for sudden painless vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

This episode kicks off with a listener email from someone facing a conundrum: she finds out about getting tenure within a few weeks of turning 40, all while wondering if she should ditch academia and go to medical school instead. Kristin and I dig into what it would actually take to start med school at 40: the family logistics, the physical toll of taking overnight call as you get older, the financial reality of avoiding debt at that age, and whether it's even possible to "test drive" medicine before committing. From there, we get into an update on the health systems behaving badly that I've been calling out, including why I keep getting cease and desist letters from hospital systems but never from insurance companies, and what's really going on when hospitals fire independent doctors and replace them with more expensive locums. We wrap up with a couple extra questions: whether it's weird for a doctor to use their iPhone flashlight during an exam, and a genuinely tough one about whether you'd want to get tested for a fatal genetic disease like Huntington's if it ran in your family. Takeaways: A listener asked whether it's worth pursuing medical school at 40 instead of pursuing tenure, prompting a discussion of the financial, physical, and family challenges of a late-career switch to medicine. Independent medical practices are increasingly being pushed out by hospital systems in favor of contracts with private equity-backed groups, sometimes at a higher cost. Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) laws, like Oregon's, are gaining momentum in more states as a way to limit corporate control over medical practices. Will has received cease and desist letters from hospital systems for his content but has never received one from a health insurance company. Will and Kristin discuss whether they'd want to get genetic testing for a fatal disease like Huntington's if it ran in their family. — We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Coming to you from a hotel patio in Lebanon, New Hampshire, this week I dig into the ACGME's newly released revisions to resident work-hour restrictions. We walk through what's actually being proposed: eliminating the mandatory 8-hour rest period between ordinary shifts, cutting required rest after a 24-hour call from 14 hours down to 12, and loosening call frequency from every third night to every second night. Despite some pushback that current restrictions have made residents "soft," I think these changes go too far and put both patients and physicians at risk. Then it's back to more familiar territory: eyeballs. After getting my own eyes irritated in the indoor hotel pool, I break down the actual science behind why your eyes turn red around chlorine. Spoiler: it's not (directly) pee, it's a gas called chloramine that forms when chlorine reacts with body oils, sweat, and other impurities, stripping the protective oil layer off your tear film.  Takeaways: The ACGME has proposed eliminating the 8-hour rest period between ordinary scheduled shifts for residents, with a public comment period open until October 22nd. The proposal would also reduce required rest after a 24-hour in-house call from 14 hours to 12, and change call frequency from every third night to every second night. I oppose the proposed changes, arguing that sleep-deprived residents make more medical errors and that the current 80-hour work restrictions strike a reasonable balance. Red, irritated eyes after swimming aren't caused by direct contact with urine, but by chloramine gas, formed when chlorine reacts with sweat, body oils, and other impurities in the water. Chloramine gas strips the protective oil layer off the eye's tear film, causing redness, burning, and dryness. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

This week Kristin and I are talking business; specifically, how doctors go from having a great idea to actually building a company around it. We're joined by Dr. David Lortscher, a board-certified dermatologist, co-founder of Curology, and author of Why Doctors Win: The Doctor's Guide to Creating or Joining a High-Impact Startup. David breaks down why so many of the most successful healthcare companies of the last few decades, including Intuitive Surgical, Gilead, Regeneron, UpToDate, were founded or co-founded by physicians. He makes the case for why more doctors, nurses, PAs, and other clinicians should be in the room when healthcare companies get built, instead of leaving it entirely to people with zero patient care experience. We get into the real differences between venture capital and private equity, what VCs actually look for before funding a startup, and the story behind how David built Curology, including the surprisingly counterintuitive pay structure that helped it scale to treating millions of patients. Kristin and I also talk about our own version of this, how she basically became CEO of Glaucomflecken so I could keep doing what I actually want to do, which is make dumb videos and still practice ophthalmology four days a week. Takeaways: Over half of the top 100 most successful healthcare startups founded in the last four decades had a physician founder or co-founder. Venture capital funds early-stage companies with high growth potential, while private equity typically buys existing businesses and tries to make them more efficient, often through cost-cutting. A successful startup needs both a transformational product and a clear path to winning the market, not just a clever idea. Physicians don't need to quit clinical practice to start a company if they have a good support system and trusted co-founders. The two things every successful startup needs are a truly transformational product and a clear path to winning over the market. — Want more Dr. David Lortscher?

James sits down with Dan Fearon from Saroma Finance to pull back the curtain on dental practice finance in the UK, focusing on the real world pitfalls that trip buyers up right before they sign. If you're planning a first practice purchase, or you're refinancing ahead of growth, this is the practical checklist you want in your pocket.We get specific about practice valuation and the numbers that drive bank lending. Dan explains how EBITDA is used to judge serviceability, why “add backs” can be legitimate or dangerously optimistic, and how projected figures in sales particulars can inflate confidence without improving your chances with a lender. We also talk through independence and small print: what to watch for if a sales route funnels you into an in house finance team, and how to keep your options open so you can compare terms properly.Then we move into loan structure and what many dentists do not realise is possible: interest only periods at the start of a loan, longer terms that reduce monthly repayments, fixed versus variable rate trade offs, and the ability to make lump sum overpayments. Finally, we demystify 100% finance on goodwill and freehold and why it's less about headlines and more about whether the practice can cover your drawings and the repayments.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

We sit down in the new studio, swap interviewer and interviewee roles, and unpack what genuinely changed once we prioritised real-world conversations over staying entirely online. If you're a UK dentist trying to build confidence, grow a business, or simply make smarter decisions with money, the thread running through everything is simple: proximity to the right people speeds up learning, clarity, and opportunity. We get practical about the internal stuff that holds most of us back. Fear is not a character flaw, it's often an outdated survival response, and it shows up hardest when you want to be visible: networking, public speaking, posting content, or walking into a room where you don't know anyone. We talk through how to reframe those feelings, how reps build competence, and why making “learning” the win helps you escape analysis paralysis and actually move. From there we zoom out to what Dentists Who Invest has become: a community plus education that includes verifiable CPD through the Smart Money Members Club, with a focus on dental finance, tax efficiency, investing, and building a healthier relationship with income and time. We also share why Business of Dentistry exists, what's different about our events, and why The Entrepreneur's Den aims to bring ethical profitability and dental innovation into the same room. If this sparks something, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave us a review so more dentists can find it.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

This week I'm tackling two things that have been on my mind. First, I saw a piece of content from another physician creator explaining why they left private practice, and the framing bothered me: the idea that private practice is inherently about squeezing as much money out of patients as possible. I get where that creator is coming from, but I think that's simply a culture problem at that practice, and I don't want med students or residents seeing that content and writing off private practice entirely. I talk through why financial pressure and reimbursement cuts are real, how to spot when a doctor is actually upselling you, and what to look for in a practice that shares income and actually operates like a partnership. Then I get into something a little heavier: an angry, anonymous email I got accusing me of tanking a hospital's reputation and making it harder for them to recruit, just for reporting on the neonatologists who were fired there. I break down why I make these videos, how seriously I take sharing information on my platform, and why I think doctors get blamed for administrators' decisions. Takeaways: Financial pressure in private practice can be real, largely driven by declining reimbursement, but it doesn't have to dictate individual clinical decisions. A key sign of a healthy private practice is one that shares a significant percentage of income among partners rather than paying doctors only for what they individually bring in. Patients who feel like they're being upsold on elective procedures should trust that instinct and seek a second opinion. I stand by my hospital accountability videos, arguing that I'm amplifying stories from healthcare workers who can't speak publicly themselves due to non-disparagement agreements.

What to do when you get too many figs at once.

This week I'm sitting down with Dr. Fran Heydanek, OBGYN, mom, and one of the biggest medical content creators out there fighting misinformation. We start with the wildly common experience of getting scammed by fake podcast invites (yes, it's happened to both of us), then get into her actual path to medicine: integrated arts classes, a rejected dentistry detour, a brief love affair with pathology, and a med school that apparently banned water in the lecture halls. From there we go deep on the business of being a doctor who also makes social media content: how she films, edits, and posts everything herself, how she decides which brand deals are worth it (spoiler: no liver detoxes), how she balances a full clinical schedule with content creation, and more. Takeaways: Podcast scam emails targeting content creators are common; both Will and Dr. Fran have nearly fallen for fake booking requests. While Dr. Fran shoots, edits, and posts nearly all of her own content herself, it can be challenging to balance with a full clinical schedule. She still works as a full-time OBGYN and has no plans to leave clinical practice, even as her content career has grown, not only because she loves her job but also because it is important for credibility. Not all brand deals should be accepted. Dr. Fran turns down brand deals for products she wouldn't personally use, and I agree that most offers aren't worth the credibility hit.  Dr. Fran's early career included a fashion blog that helped fund her wedding and car payments before medical school and before she started posting medical content. — Want more Dr. Fran Heydanek? @pagingdrfran - Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

With interest rates biting, Section 24 still hurting personally owned portfolios, and renters' rights reform changing how landlords manage tenancies, it's easy to end up “investing” while quietly subsidising your tenant each month. We wanted a straight answer to a simple question: how do you make the flipping numbers work now, not ten years ago? I'm joined by property expert and fellow dentist Dr Harry Singh, and we get into the unglamorous truth first: cash flow is what keeps you in property long term, while capital appreciation is a bonus. Harry explains why the standard single-let model can be close to dead for many landlords once you add tax, finance costs and friction, then walks us through a strategy he believes is creating genuine margin today: leasing property to social care providers for supported living style accommodation, where the demand is structural and the budgets can be surprisingly large. We unpack how the contracts tend to work, why lenders care about break clauses, and what “no voids and maintenance handled” really means in practice. We also cover the practical route to getting started: finding the right providers first, using council and government contract sources, and doing proper due diligence through Companies House and CQC ratings so you don't get seduced by a headline rent. If buying feels out of reach, Harry shares a rent-to-rent approach that focuses on control and cash flow rather than ownership, plus where these opportunities tend to cluster geographically and why timing matters.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Welcome back to Knock Knock Eye, my one-stop shop for all things eyeball related. This week I'm taking a quick break from corporate practice of medicine talk (just this once, I promise) to dig into a mailbag question from a listener named Gina, who fainted during a routine gonioscopy exam. We get into what a vasovagal reaction is, why the eye seems to be such a common trigger for fainting, and what you can actually do in the moment to keep your blood pressure from tanking. From there I go into the oculocardiac reflex, which is a genuinely wild phenomenon where manipulating the muscles around your eye can drop your heart rate enough to cause cardiac arrest, plus how it shows up clinically when someone has a trapped eye muscle from an orbital fracture.  As always, send me your hospital horror stories, and also your hospital success stories, at knockknockhi@human-content.com. Takeaways: Passing out during an eye exam is usually a vasovagal reaction, not a sign anything went wrong. Clenching your muscles while breathing slowly and calmly can help prevent a fainting spell if you know you're prone to one. The oculocardiac reflex is a real drop in heart rate triggered by pulling on the eye muscles, and in rare cases it can lead to cardiac arrest. A sudden heart rate drop when a patient looks up can signal a trapped eye muscle from an orbital fracture. Persistent dry, itchy eyes could actually be Demodex blepharitis rather than simple dryness. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

We sit down with chartered accountant Matthew Norton, who specialises in accounting for dentists across the UK, to unpack limited company vs sole trader decisions in plain English and with the numbers that actually drive the outcome.We cover the foundations first: liability differences, the shifting admin reality as Making Tax Digital expands, and how corporation tax and dividend tax interact. From there, we get specific about dentist pain points, including the £100,000 threshold where personal allowance tapering and childcare changes can bite, and why a salary-only approach inside a company is rarely as clean as it sounds once employer's National Insurance is considered.For practice owners and mixed-income dentists, we go deeper into dental practice incorporation: selling goodwill into a new company, when capital gains tax might be worth paying, and how a director's loan account can let you draw value back without dividend tax. We also talk NHS realities, from contract approval quirks to the NHS pension limitation for associates, plus how property ownership and future acquisitions can influence the structure you choose.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

This week we go down a bit of an emotional rabbit hole, starting with a Mad Men clip about nostalgia. This leads to us reading some genuinely fascinating research on nostalgia; why it exists, what it does to our brains, and why it might actually be an evolutionary survival mechanism. We talk about looking back at old photos of our kids, why parenthood memories tend to get rosier over time, and whether millennials are uniquely nostalgic given everything we've lived through.  Then we get back to more medical Spanish lessons with phrases sent in by listeners. I butcher "pupilas" more times than I'd like to admit, learn how to say cataracts and retinal detachment, and Kristin gently points out that maybe I should learn the Spanish alphabet before continuing to just wing it phrase by phrase.  Takeaways: Nostalgia isn't just a pleasant feeling, research suggests it can reduce our perception of pain and help regulate emotional and psychological stress. Consumption of nostalgia-inducing media tends to increase during times of crisis or uncertainty, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Memory naturally tends to filter out the harder parts of past experiences, especially around parenthood, which researchers believe may serve an evolutionary purpose. Nostalgia activates brain regions associated with self-reflection, autobiographical memory, emotional regulation, and reward processing. Millennials may experience heightened nostalgia in part because major formative life events, like 9/11, the 2008 financial crash, and the pandemic, repeatedly disrupted a sense of stability. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Dear Listener, A reader named Alex wrote a long, seemingly courteous letter to me — more careful and more genuinely wrestling with Scripture than most criticism I receive, but making serious charges all the same: that my teaching is doctrinally vague, that it amounts to extreme separatism, and that it risks pushing isolated believers into a dangerous, unaccountable "lone wolf" Christianity with no fellowship at all.In this episode, I explain why I'm not going to answer him privately, point by point, in his inbox — and instead lay out the fuller answer here, for him and for everyone raising the same questions.Along the way: what Jeremiah 24's "Two Baskets of Figs" actually says about who the real exiles were; the Abedi Inversion from The Glorious Few and why systemic diagnosis isn't the same as anecdote; a direct answer to the lone-wolf concern and what real, biblical exile does and doesn't look like; and a closer look at Samuel Rutherford's warning against Brownist separatism — including why his own life as a Covenanter who wrote Lex, Rex makes him an odd witness to conscript for "never leave."You can tune in to the YouTube of the podcast here, and read all copy on the blog here. In Christ,Nick & Mairi FanksP.S. This is the one Bible teaching series that we would gladly give the rest of our lives to proclaiming: I AM JEALOUS: The Exclusive Demands of Yahweh, and His Renegade BrideMaranatha?✍️ Books (free to those in need) here.

Dr. Michael Lange & David Snow: Foods for Longevity, Omega-3s, Eye Health & Weight Loss Dr. Michael Lange welcomes special guest co-host David Snow of “Dr. Health Radio,” a veteran health talk-radio personality who has been broadcasting since 1990. The incredible chemistry between these two longtime hosts made this an especially informative and entertaining episode of “Ask the Doctor.” David Snow also shares stories about some of the famous celebrities and fascinating personalities he has interviewed during his many years in radio. Dr. Lange and David discuss how eating more fruits, vegetables and fish may support whole-body wellness, healthy aging and longevity. They review research suggesting that higher blood levels of marine omega-3 fatty acids—whether obtained from eating fish or taking a quality fish-oil supplement—are associated with a reduced risk of premature death. A plant-rich diet combined with adequate omega-3 intake may help support cardiovascular, brain, eye and overall health. Dr. Lange highlights Fortifeye Organic Blue Green Superfood as a convenient way to supplement a healthy diet, particularly for people who struggle to consume enough fruits and vegetables. It is fully transparent, made in the USA and contains no proprietary blends. A three-container special currently brings the price down to approximately $28 per container. Dr. Lange also discusses combining a quality superfood with a re-esterified triglyceride—or rTG—omega-3 supplement such as Fortifeye Super Omega. Dr. Lange emphasizes the importance of routine comprehensive eye examinations as a form of preventive healthcare. An eye examination can uncover much more than vision problems. The eyes may reveal early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, vascular disease, autoimmune conditions, neurological disorders and other systemic health concerns—sometimes before a person notices symptoms. Other fascinating nutrition topics include: • Pineapple and its natural bromelain enzymes • Figs for fiber, potassium and digestive regularity • Allulose, a rare sugar naturally found in foods such as figs, and research into its potential effects on appetite-related hormones, including GLP-1 • The antioxidant and anthocyanin benefits of blueberries, particularly smaller wild blueberries • Why broccoli sprouts and broccoli microgreens can provide substantially more sulforaphane precursors than mature broccoli • Combining broccoli sprouts or microgreens with tomato paste or tomato sauce to support prostate and overall health • Why blending berries with high-polyphenol-oxidase ingredients—particularly bananas—may reduce the availability of certain beneficial flavanols Dr. Lange and David also introduce the delicious new Fortifeye Fit Bites. These portion-controlled treats are designed to help curb appetite and reduce overeating. Dr. Lange explains how some competitive bodybuilders are using Fit Bites during contest preparation when controlling hunger and achieving greater muscular definition are priorities. The show also explores exciting new technology at Lange Eye Institute. The GAUDI Corneo-Scleral Profilometer rapidly maps the shape of both the cornea and sclera—the white portion of the eye. This advanced topography can reduce trial-and-error and help doctors design more precise scleral contact lenses for patients with irregular or diseased corneas. Listeners from New Orleans, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida contributed many excellent questions throughout the show. Dr. Lange and David also discovered that they both celebrate their birthdays in September! Dr. Lange wishes everyone a safe and happy Labor Day. All Lange Eye Institute, Lange Eye Care and Fortifeye Vitamins businesses will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday and will reopen Tuesday. Watch the complete episode for valuable information about nutrition, omega-3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables, superfoods, appetite control, weight loss, preventive eye care, scleral contact lenses, longevity and healthier aging.

So last episode I made the case that medical student research should be banned, and I clearly touched a nerve. I got flooded with angry messages arguing against me, and honestly, I expected some backlash since it was a genuinely spicy take. But I want to be clear, I was being facetious, obviously nobody's going to actually ban med student research. What I actually want to unpack this episode is why this topic clearly struck such a nerve, and what's really driving the explosion in med student publications. I walk through some new data, including a study that found roughly a quarter of recent ophthalmology journal articles may contain AI-generated text, and another from Yale showing a real gap between the publications applicants claim on their residency applications and what's actually verifiable in PubMed. I also get into Goodhart's Law, the idea that when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure, and how that applies perfectly to what's happened since Step One went pass-fail. I share some thoughts on what might actually help, including capping how many publications students can list, and I make it clear I'm not trying to lead some crusade here, I just think this conversation needed to happen. Takeaways: Since Step One became pass-fail, medical students have shifted their focus to research output as a differentiator, and reported publication numbers have risen sharply as a result. A recent study found that roughly 26% of ophthalmology journal abstracts and 22% of commentaries screened in 2025 scored as likely containing AI-generated text. A Yale-affiliated study found that applicants to ophthalmology residency claimed an average of 4.9 publications, while only 2.4 were actually verifiable in PubMed. Goodhart's Law suggests that once a measure like publication count becomes a target used for residency selection, it stops accurately reflecting research quality or applicant ability. Starting with the 2027 application cycle, the AAMC is renaming the ERAS publications field to "scholarly works" in an attempt to shift emphasis from quantity to quality.

There's a myriad of weird and wonderful beasties out there who feast on flowers, but all is not rosy inside the garden gate. Pollinators are in trouble, and Josie Stuart, RHS Senior Entomologist at RHS Garden Wisley shares some unexpected ways home gardeners can help pollinators thrive, no matter the size of your plot. Horticultural specialist Jim Arbury offers expert advice on a hot topic many RHS website visitors want to know more about: figs. Which variety should you choose? How do you get started? And how do you grow them successfully? As September brings cooler temperatures and an increasingly autumnal feel, RHS Wisley's Claudia Connal offers her pick for the next instalment of our Bulb of the Week series - the mysterious and beautiful Turk's cap or martagon lily. Plus, we answer your gardening questions on dealing with tomato gluts, growing echinaceas, and pruning hydrangeas and evergreens. Host: Gareth Richards Producer: Dan Cocker Contributors: Josie Stuart, Jim Arbury, Claudia Connal Plants mentioned: Turk's cap lily (Lilium martagon); lilies 'Claude Shride', ‘Golden Morning', ‘Pink Morning' and ‘Albi Morning'.

Upon entering Jerusalem, Jesus goes to the temple, where He overturns tables and drives out moneychangers. What should have been Jesus' house of prayer has become a den of robbers, stealing the mercy of God from His people. The blind and the lame come to Jesus to receive mercy from Him, despite the ongoing protests of the chief priests and scribes. A fig tree serves as Jesus' object lesson for the coming judgment against all who put their hope in a building rather than trusting in the Word of God.  Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 21:12-22.  To learn more about Holy Cross Lutheran, visit holycrosswarda.com. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

This week we start by discussing our daughter's summer geometry crash course, and I forgot how much I hate proofs. I also tell the story of getting stuck at the Salt Lake airport with the Portland Thorns professional soccer team, which hit me with a wave of nostalgia for my old Ultimate Frisbee team days, followed by Kristin's late-night ladder saga trying to fix a chirping smoke detector on our vaulted ceiling while I was useless from the airport. Then we get into something a little more serious: the whole Hank Green AI situation, where he admitted to using ChatGPT to help write video scripts and got a wave of backlash from his own audience. I get into my personal line in the sand with AI, which is that I don't want it anywhere near my creative work, and we touch on something Hank said that I hadn't really considered before: that interacting with LLMs might be giving people unhealthy dopamine hits. We talk about where this all might be headed, why creativity feels different from other tech advancements, and why I think this whole AI conversation deserves more nuance than a 60-second hot take. Takeaways: Interacting with LLMs may trigger dopamine responses similar to social interaction, which could make them more habit-forming than people realize. AI tools can be genuinely useful for research and administrative tasks, but using them to generate creative content removes the human decision-making that gives creative work its meaning. The backlash Hank Green received for using AI in his video scripts sparked a broader conversation about where the line should be drawn between helpful tool and creative shortcut. Historically, people have expressed similar fears and backlash toward new technologies, from the printing press to photography to typing, though AI raises unique concerns around creative authorship. AI models are trained on human-created content, so widespread reliance on AI to create that content going forward could gradually dilute the human originality models depend on. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

I just wrapped my second call week of the year, and honestly, getting older has made overnight pages so much harder than they used to be. At 30 I could wake up from a dead sleep and immediately have a coherent medical conversation, and now, ten years later, I basically have to be walked through who I am and what hospital I'm even at before I can function. I also tell the story of getting completely lost in a big Portland hospital after hours, which honestly just confirms the stereotype that ophthalmologists get lost in hospitals.  Then I get into something a lot more serious: my latest deep dive into hospital administrations behaving badly, this time at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, Oregon. Nine neonatologists, an incredibly stable, highly skilled group who'd been building this NICU program for two decades, were told in January they were being let go, with shifting and frankly contradictory explanations from the hospital. I walk through the timeline, including the hospital's decision to bring in a private equity-backed locums staffing company, a VP's misleading public comments about the firing, and the deleted panel video that followed once I called it out. I explain why I keep making these videos, even when people ask what the point is, because these decisions affect real patients, and communities deserve to know why their care is changing. Takeaways: Turns out being a doctor and getting woken up at 3 AM hits different in your 40s than it did in your 30s. Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center fired all nine of its neonatologists in January despite the group having no departures since 2021 and meeting national quality benchmarks. The hospital's stated reasons for the firings shifted over time and were contradicted by a hospital VP's own public comments about ongoing retirements. Locum staffing companies are typically meant to bridge short-term staffing gaps, not replace an entire well-functioning department, and often cost hospitals significantly more per hour than the doctors they're replacing. Physicians who raise patient safety concerns internally can face professional and legal pressure that discourages them from speaking publicly, even after losing their jobs.

That is the uncomfortable question at the heart of our chat with returning guest Tom Fortes-Mayer, a coach and former therapist who works with entrepreneurs and dentists on success psychology, beliefs, and what it takes to genuinely enjoy the life you are building.We dig into “living in alignment with wealth”: acting like the person who can hold money, responsibility, and opportunity without becoming tense, needy, or transactional. We unpack how a scarcity mindset leaks out in rooms full of successful people, why it quietly repels collaborations, and how inner security matters more than the number in your bank account. Tom shares a memorable way to think about it: being “waterproof” under pressure, so your nervous system stays steady and your decisions stay clean.From there we get practical. We talk integrity and generosity as wealth behaviours you can practise now, how abundance is about flow and circulation, and why giving value through content (without expecting instant return) is a real-world abundance strategy. Tom also lays out tools he used in therapy: increasing inner peace, clearing fear and old resentment, and building a step-by-step plan to stretch your comfort zone so you stop being controlled by fear. We even touch on deal-making mindset and examples like Undercover Billionaire as proof of what's possible when you think bigger.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

This week Kristin and I get into "Ozempic face," which has been all over social media, and I break down what's actually happening medically when people lose facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications. Kristin gets grossed out the moment I bring up orbital fat, so we go down a whole rabbit hole about fat pads, blepharoplasty, and why your eyes need that squishy cushion behind them. I also share something newer in ophthalmology: GLP-1 medications are now considered a rare but real risk factor for a type of vision loss called ischemic optic neuropathy. Then we get into a story from a Cake concert I took our kids to while Kristin was out of town, where our teenage daughter and her friend somehow knew every word to a Black Sabbath cover better than half the adults in the crowd (genuine proud dad moment). After the break, I keep working on my medical Spanish with more phrases sent in by a listener, and Kristin does her best to correct my pronunciation.  Takeaways: "Ozempic face" refers to the hollowing and sagging that can happen when someone loses facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications, it's a side effect of rapid fat loss, not a direct effect of the drug itself. Facial fat loss on GLP-1s can also affect the fat pad behind the eye, which may contribute to a more sunken appearance around the eyes. GLP-1 medications are now considered a risk factor for ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare condition involving reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, though the overall risk remains very low. Orbital fat plays an important structural role in cushioning and supporting the eye, and its loss or migration can contribute to changes like under-eye bags or a sunken appearance. Learning key medical Spanish phrases, even imperfectly, can help physicians communicate more effectively with Spanish-speaking patients. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

I've got a love-hate relationship with research, and this week I finally get into why. I'll read a study, I'll watch a talk, I genuinely enjoy learning about it, but performing research myself has never been my thing, and I get into the whole story of how I ended up doing it in med school anyway purely to check a box. Then I break down the newest NRMP match data, and the numbers are insane. We're talking applicants matching into ortho and neurosurgery with over a hundred research experiences and dozens of publications, and I explain why I think this whole system has turned into a predatory arms race that has very little to do with becoming a good doctor. After that, I get back to some actual eyeball content. I dig into a fascinating study out of Portugal on wind instrument musicians and their eye pressure, and it turns out playing high-resistance instruments like trumpet, oboe, and French horn can cause real spikes in intraocular pressure, potentially even mimicking a condition called normal pressure glaucoma. I walk through some of the older research on this topic too, and honestly, it's the first time in ten years of practicing ophthalmology that I've even heard about it. If you're a serious wind player, this one's worth a listen. Takeaways: The number of research experiences, abstracts, and publications reported by matched medical residency applicants has climbed to levels that go far beyond what's needed to become a good clinician. Doing research as a medical student is not a requirement for becoming a skilled doctor. Wind instrument players, especially those using high-resistance instruments like trumpet, oboe, and French horn, can experience measurable spikes in intraocular pressure while playing. Chronic pressure spikes in musicians could potentially be misdiagnosed as normal pressure glaucoma if a patient's musical background isn't factored into their history. Professional musicians who play high-resistance instruments at a high level may benefit from routine glaucoma screening.

This week Kristin and I start off with something I've been wanting to work on for a while, my medical Spanish, because we're opening up a new location and I want to actually be able to communicate with my Spanish-speaking patients. Kristin was a Spanish major, so she helps me practice phrases sent in by a Spanish-speaking listener named Gabe, and let's just say it does not go great.  Then I give Kristin a real update on my acting class, which has become my midlife crisis hobby of choice after bouldering nearly took out my elbow and beekeeping felt like too much commitment (and too much risk of me acidentally killing a bunch of bees). What I didn't expect going in was how much I needed something that has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare. Something else I really wasn't expecting: making actual friends who have nothing to do with our kids, which apparently is possible even after 30. If you're looking for a sign to take that random class you've been thinking about, this is it. Takeaways: Trying a hobby that's completely unrelated to your career, especially in healthcare, gives you a real mental break and can be genuinely good for your well-being. It is possible to make genuine new friendships after 30, even ones that have nothing to do with your kids' friends' parents. Learning common medical Spanish phrases, even imperfectly, can help doctors better communicate with and care for their Spanish-speaking patients. Learning a brand-new skill later in life, and simply being bad at it for a while, can be a rewarding experience on its own. Shared proximity and shared experience, like being in a class together, are two of the biggest drivers of forming new friendships as an adult. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, Kris Caputo, marketing director for the California Fig Advisory Board and California Fresh Fig Growers Association, discussed renewed momentum for California figs as consumer awareness grows and producers plant additional acreage to meet demand. California's Central Valley remains the heart of the nation's fig industry, particularly in Fresno, Madera and Merced counties. Caputo said 100 percent of commercially grown figs in the United States come from California, giving the state's growers a unique position in both domestic and international markets. "There is big fig momentum for sure," Caputo said. "We're really seeing an increase in awareness and actual sales." That growing interest is translating into new plantings. Caputo said California growers are adding fig trees as they work to keep pace with increasing demand for both fresh and dried fruit. Fresh fig season runs roughly from mid-May through November, while dried Mission and Golden figs provide a year-round market. Despite that momentum, California's fig industry remains relatively small. Caputo estimated there are approximately 9,000 acres of figs, with the industry producing about 6,300 tons in 2025, up from approximately 5,900 tons the previous year. Reaching new consumers is an important part of continuing that growth. Caputo said figs are increasingly appearing beyond the traditional produce aisle in snack bars, jams, dressings and other products. Manufacturers are also incorporating diced figs, fig paste and juice concentrate into new foods. That versatility could help introduce the crop to younger consumers who may not have grown up eating figs. Health and nutrition are also helping drive interest. Caputo highlighted figs as a source of fiber, potassium, calcium and antioxidants, characteristics that align with growing consumer interest in nutrient-dense foods. California growers still face challenges, including expensive farmland, regulatory costs and competition from major international fig-producing countries. But Caputo said California's production standards, farming practices and generations of experience distinguish the state's crop in the global marketplace. Availability may actually be one of the industry's biggest hurdles. Caputo said consumers in other parts of the country often ask where they can find California fresh figs, making expanded production and distribution critical to continued growth. With new varieties, growing consumer interest and additional acreage going into production, California figs may be positioned to reclaim some of the prominence they once enjoyed throughout the Central Valley.
