Re: Dr. Glaucomflecken – Please Never Stop, We’re All One Bad Shift Away From Eating Tide Pods

Volume 69, Issue 4: “Divine Delusions & Differential Diagnosis”

April 15, 2026  

To the Editor, I would like to formally nominate Dr. Will Flanary (known to the people as Dr. Glaucomflecken) for sainthood, a lifetime supply of free coffee, and whatever the medical equivalent of a knighthood is. While the rest of us are slowly dying inside from 94-click documentation and emails that start with “Per my last email,” this absolute madlad is in a scrub cap cooking the entire healthcare system like it owes him money. He makes burnout hilarious.

He makes corporate wellness seminars look like the bullshit they are.

He makes me laugh so hard at 4 a.m. in the call room that I briefly forget I’m a functional alcoholic with $400k in student loans. If Dr. Glaucomflecken ever stops posting, I’m walking straight into the hospital administrator’s office, shitting on their desk, and quitting in the most dramatic way possible. Please keep going, king.

The medical community is hanging on by a thread, and your videos are the only thing preventing mass physician suicide. With desperate gratitude,

Dr. Dead Inside, MD

PGY-“I Regret Everything”
