I forgot humans have less eyelids than my patients so I was very confused about where the third eyelid went for a moment lol

ER nurse. Found you by your shorts, and as they got into the darker parts of healthcare it really helped me understand why I was becoming more and more uncomfortable with how hospitals were run, and how much I appreciate the good managers I have. Your health insurance/hospital leadership shorts have really shaped even my political views as I’m entering my 30s and growing into leadership roles at work.

Welcome fellow Ed rn! Thank you for what you do!!!! Nurses are the most trusted profession in the US. We have incredible power, both as individuals and as a profession. We, along with our colleagues, have the ability to improve healthcare for our patients and communities! ❤

As a neurologist, I approve of this episode. BTW: we own EVERY nerve😉

Neurology PA here and I showed the Neurologist On-Call one to my doc. He went “OOF…too close to home.” 🤣

My friend just got a hip replacement and she started talking about how chill and funny her orthopedic surgeon is. She said he was "a total dude" and looked like he "just got out of a rock climbing gym". She had no idea about your channel and knows very little about medicine but it was so funny to see a random real world confirmation of the ortho bro stereotype. I showed her some of your ortho skits and it brought my friend some much needed comedic relief while she was in pain recovering from her surgery.

There's a reason ortho bros have the reputation they do and the same basic portrayal on every major medical drama 😂

Truth. Every ortho I’ve seen.

As a viewer with no medical background, I personally really enjoy the very 'inside baseball' kind of jokes. It gives me a little look into what goes on in that world, and something to research if it catches my interest.

I think it's an amazing and enjoyable experience for an "inside" joke to be told in a way where someone outside can understand simultaneously (a) that's funny (b) I don't know why but I could educate myself. I'm sure I still miss most of the inside jokes in the skits, but I look forward to each and every one.

"Do you want to hear about pockets of oil in your eyelids that we can cut out?" - I mean, now I kinda do. As a non-eyeball person, I really have no metric for what constitutes "cool" or "boring" eyeball topics. I'm just here for eyeballs, dude!

yes same i was just about to comment this! oil in your eyelid? pockets? where are these pockets?

Seriously…you asked if we still like your shorts, so here goes…in a world filled with so much sadness and despair…your channel brings laughter, joy and fun to us. Please keep them up. Would love to see you do a short on what it’s like from the patients point of view waiting forever at the doc’s office…❤❤❤

So occupationally appropriate that you said you are “very particular about where your characters are looking.” 😁

I love the skits, especially the subtle cues that identify characters. (I still confuse the neurologist and nephrologist unless there's a Morton's container nearby - but that is my issue) The inside jokes are fun - sometimes I get them, sometimes I have to look up a term before I get it, and sometimes they completely fly over my head. I wouldn't change anything.

I can't get enough of these eyeball podcasts. Please never stop

I love love love the skits, please continue them as long as they bring you joy! I especially loved how mad the radiologist was at ortho for actually being competent

As an ENT dissecting out the entire facial nerve skull base to terminal branches, and a huge fan since the beginning, I’m sorry but we own it. We can rent you out your branch though 😅

Do I still like them? YES I rewatch them because they're hilarious. And now you've got this great channel too. Hey, there's lots of life to love.

Do we like the characters?? Heck yes 😂

I love the skits. When can we meet Texico Mike?

I’m not even in the medical field, but I’ve had a lot exposure to doctors and hospitals, from helping family and sometimes for my own health related issues. I find these skits absolutely hilarious, even though I am sure a lot of jokes go over my head. Thank you for them.

"We can't overlook the eyelid'. I love how unintended that pun was.

I love the shorts, I wouldn't have found your videos without them.

As a chronic stye, chalazion, and blepharitis sufferer, I would be interested in a Knock Knock Eye about that.

I hope Dr. G does a “Knock Knock I” episode on Thyroid Eye Disease, especially in people whose thyroid hormone levels are in the proper range but still have cornea-damaging protrusion…

It always brightens my day when I see you post a new character short ❣️ Please always continue, for the sake of all ours' sanity. Especially with it being an election year

Idea for an episode: with the eclipse coming in April, how about how the sun (and other powerful lights like lasers) can harm the eye?

Love the shorts so much! I found you while my wife an I were in the middle of a 65 day NICU journey. KZread sent me to your first day in neonatology one, which is so accurate about the nurses... and about the babies decompensating. Got us addicted and was a source of joy in a time of incredible stress. Much appreciation to you!

Don't forget about tardive dyskinesia as a cause of eyelid twitching and blinking, Dr. G. Thanks for all you do!

I love the shorts, skits, and knock knock eye! Please keep doing them, and the regular pod too! You and your team are doing great work and bringing medicine to a general audience with comedy and entertainment.

I love your characters and I am sad I don't see the skits so often. It'd be nice for KZread to show me more. At least I can still go to your channel directly (and I do, to binge the shorts or share them)

Oh I wish I didn't have such intimate knowledge of the cranial facial nerve. I've had the (mis)fortune of having Bell's palsy on both sides of my face (luckily years apart from each other). The first time ended up being due to Lyme disease. Without a doubt, not being able to close my eyelid all the way was the worst part.

I still love the shorts and different characters. I'm having a great time!

I miss the med student’s first day videos. I love them all! And yes, I would love to hear about chalazions!

The artwork in the background is giving you cat ears. 😅

I cannot unsee that now. Great catch.

I was literally searching for information about this, thanks doc ❤

OMG! I love all the characters you do. I think that I found you a year or so ago. I wish you could come to New Jersey, but I know that's pretty far away for you.

Keep having fun, Doc. Don't worry about views. ❤

YES. YES WE LOVE THEM!!!! Neuro PA here. My supervising physician was slightly offended by the Neurologist character which indicates to me that you’re spot-on. 😂

Zero medical background here, and I love your skits and characters!

I love your skits! You do such a great job on each of the characters, I can instantly tell who each one is before you speak. 😂 Thank you for all that you do to bring us joy and information. ❤

I am a mental health therapist and I used to work in a lot of medical settings. Before that I was a public health researcher. So some of the inside baseball I immediately get, others it is a little fuzzy 🤣. I specialize in trauma and have had quite a few medical professionals as clients over the years and so the x goes to therapy skits are sometimes have moments that are a little eerily on the nose 😂😂.

I used to get Botox for migraine. One time it gave me a “Spock eyebrow,” and I was kinda sad that it was temporary.

If you practice in front of a mirror for a while you can learn to raise an eyebrow at will, if you do it enough you get stuck that way. Ask me how I know.

Would love 🙋🏻‍♀️ a video about hordeolums + chalazions as it is often presented in our pharmacy and we have very little options to help.

My left upper eyelid was twitchy fairly consistently for 3-4 months and finally stopped a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully watching this video doesn’t bring it back 😅

Highly interesting comments in the beginning. Because my father wanted to have a growth on his lower eyelid removed since it bothers him and his eye doctor advised against it, arguing that there's always a chance that something goes wrong and the eyeball gets damaged.

Thank you for the shorts & the long forms! I enjoy your humor & presentation styles, it all brightens my day. ⚘

I have my anatomy and physiology practical on the head neck and skull coming up. That mnemonic will be crucial. Thank you!

I love your skits and have shared them with friends. PS, I have zero medical background.

Crazy timing! I started having this issue so thank you for explaining the different causes. I have an appt with ENT to look at the lump behind my ear, hopefully we’ll fix it all up soon :)

These episodes are so great, and I would love to hear about the pockets of oil in eyelids! :)

Thank you for this episode! Also as someone who gets eyelid styes often (and has oily skin) I’d love to hear more about it.

I got this a few nights ago. I couldn't read or do anything and had to close my eyes for a few minutes.

I love your character skits! My work is in OB, so if Lady Glaucomflecken wants to stretch her presence ... :) Ortho is my very favorite. Please keep the skits coming.

I love the videos. Yes! Keep having fun. I’m 95% retired but love them. Will hunt for that Superbowl video I missed, dated or not.

Still love your skits! And of course loving Knock Knock, Eye. It's like class, but fun.

Im new to your media, been watching your skits for about a week and just subscribed. Don't stop, please!

I love the neurologist! Jonathan obviously! The primary practice chaos, the rural hospital stuff. The nephrologist! Vs cardiologist! And hey i dont come from a medical background, i work in Disability support and have a lot experiences working with this specialists and even a lot of the in-jokes just sitting ringside to some of this stuff.

I'm not in the medical field, and I really appreciate these because I'm learning a lot of things that a normal doctor's visit might rush through or that I don't know to ask about!

I worked for an opthalmologist as medical assistant and I have the feeling the eye is completely under-representated. FINALLY I found someone who talks about eyes. I missed that. Gimme Herpes, gimme cataracts, gimme meibomitis and retina-content. Also, Facialisparese. I don't know if you covered that topic yet but it's really interesting.

Previz. Storyboards. You’re amazing. I freaking love your videos.

May 2024 love all of your Skits they’re hysterical! Inside jokes!!

So here’s an interesting eye twitch anecdote for you. I took a lot of zinc for over a decade, self-prescribed for acne. Worked like a charm but I didn’t realize it will interfere with copper absorption. Cue the onset of an almost daily eye twitch, sometimes for hours. No one could help me and I was told to just ignore it. Then I was told to take copper by a very thorough doctor. As soon as I started taking copper the eye twitch completely disappeared. It returned years larer when I started taking zinc again. It then promptly went away when I also re-started the copper. I am now off zinc and off copper and the eye twitch has not returned for over 5 years. Sometimes there are niche reasons for small and otherwise benign problems. Glad that doctor helped me as I now know copper deficiency can cause all sorts of serious problems.

I love all your characters! I grew up with a PA dad and spent tons of time at his work as a child and teen (small family practice office and local small hospital). I've seen so many types of people in the medical field... your characterizations are absolutely hysterical! Please keep doing the skits :)

Yes, more skits please! You do them so well! There's still more to mine out there. I look forward to them. I wonder what it would be like to take the POV of a patient, too. Once in a while I ask someone in my ophthalmologist's office whether they know about your videos. They DO. The best part is asking the assistants and scribes whether they are "Jonathan." Yes, they are. Lightens the mood when I'm in there for cataract surgery or to have a retinal tear repaired. I also have had significant oculoplastic surgery. The scariest thing was seeing my eye opening change because of a small tarsorophy, a repair to ectropion, occlusion of the punctae, and other bits to address dry eye, light sensitivity, exophthalmus, blepharitis, etc. Both eyes. And addressing insufficient lipid film in my tears. ... I appreciate oculoplastic surgery. How about a skit involving oculoplastic surgeons and other niche specialties in all kinds of the wide range of specialties? What's it like in the lab and people who take various kinds of samples? Funny stories about phlebotomy? I have no idea whether there's anything there. Being a PA? Keep it up!

Love your videos, love your shorts. I always get so excited when I see you've uploaded :3

I love your characters! I caught on to you listening to Talking with Docs! Whom I also love!! I'm retired from medical.

I have 3 doctors and each of them were familiar with Dr. G before I even mentioned his channel…but then, I’m in Iowa, Dr. G’s residence for a while!

I had tear duct reconstruction when I was 23. This video speaks to me.

I absolutely love your skits! I am constantly telling people about them.

I’m not in the medical field at all but I love these podcasts!

As a PCP, I love being able to access videos from trusted specialists. I have a handful of things I feel quite confident in (bc I was a nurse for 20 years) but there is so much I don’t know- espc when it comes to specialty issues. So thank you! Also, thanks for telling my occasional eye lid spasm is a tumor. Or Parkinson’s. 😂

I loved your funny skits! I think you could still make a few! Would love to see reactions of other specialty doctors to opthamology!

what does it mean when i drive a car, and stop in to lights and stare in the mid cross road and i feel and "see" my eyes doing the dolby zoom thing. it is very wierd,its in the wierdly in the middle of my vision

Love your short form stuff, and new to your longer in depth stuff. I offer as a suggestion ; MS and your eyes. I have MS and find my eyes changing all the time. *nod*

Algorithm suggests some of your old material and that probably brings in new viewers

Don't forget the trigeminal nerves! What about other conditions like Grave's disease, Bell's palsy, Sjögren's, or other things that affect the eye and vision? And why don't my eyelids close all the way when I am sleeping?

We love the skits! No need to worry about algorithms for those of us suscribe. We just watch for new ones.

ALL the characters “caught on,” with me anyway!😊

Dude, from a guy who did user experience work on Cerner for about six months, this is a serious balm for me!

I definitely love your shorts! Keep doing that as long as you want!

Teaching others is the best way for me to learn something

Does anyone have a wiki set up for the Glaucomflecken extended universe? It sounds like even the Doc himself could use one 😂

Yes! Love the skits!

Hey hey, I am a med student and I really really enjoy listening to knock knock eye. I love that you can learn something new without beeing overwhelmed with the amount of information presented. Apart from that it is just fun. Today I stumbeled upon Iriskolobom and Irishypoplasia. Immeadiatly I thought of your podcast. I would be really interested in learning more about this topic from an ophtalmologist. What are the common causes? How is it treated? Could you please make an episode about this? :D PS: As everyone else, I really love your skits hihi

I love your skits. I share them with all my docs! I am a surgical technologist and would love to see a skit involving a scrub tech and residents. If you need some ideas, hit me up.

Love your skits! I'm an old OR nurse and your skits have me rolling! Would love to see more if you still feel inspired to make them!

Yay, eyelids! What age (on average) do you usually recommend a blepharoplasty? My own ophthalmologist and his (also ophthalmologist) wife are constantly lovingly arguing with each other over the timing. Lady Dr says to do it as soon as "clinical drooping", as she calls it, becomes apparent. Late 30s or early 40s, because the younger tissue will recover more quickly and possibly scar less. Sir Dr says to wait as long as possible so you hopefully won't ever need revision. Meanwhile, I'm just dreading the inevitable surgery regardless of when 😆

I still like the shorts! It is weird tho cause it’s not showing up on my shorts that often anymore, I need to search for them or look at my notification list…now it’s a bunch of random video with the same 2 songs…

Yes!Yes!Yes!!! Love it! Love it! Love it! 😅😅😅

Love your skits 😁 As a topic suggestion, could you talk about demodex on the eye?

Utube seems to drop certain things from my feed and it was such a delight to see you pop up again. Love your shorts. In this case I never knew twitches could be so interesting.

Me, when reading the title: "Wait, was I supposed to be worried about it???"

I ignored a twitching eyelid with a bad taste in my mouth in the context of sleep deprivation. 3 weeks later, 3 days post partum, diagnosed with a brain tumor and realized that eye twitching for 10 secs was a focal seizure

Thanks so much for sharing fun with your med characters and situations. Keep on.

I live for your skits ❤️❤️❤️

Oooo! Been watching you on tik tok for a yr now didn't know you had a yt Can yoy do a video on retinoschisis. I was in the Marine Corps about 12 yrs it was missed for a long time til I went in for pre op Lasix sx, now my eyes are too high risk for Lasix. Anyway would love to watch a vid on this 😁

Good luck getting pre-approval for an MRI! 🤣

I would love to know more about the oil glands on the dryer!

I adore the skits

I get eyelid spasms/twitches frequently. Not my whole eyelid, usually just a small spot/corner of my eyelid that will spasm. Sometimes it only happens a couple times during the day, and then I could go days or weeks without it happening, or there r times where it does it almost all day long and lasts for weeks or even a couple months at a time. It is extremely obnoxious. I also get this same exact type of spasms in other areas of my body, for example often on my upper things, or on my arms, and also inside my ears, or on my lips. But if I get it in these other areas it typically only happens a couple times during the day, then could go away and not happen again for a few days, weeks, or months.

Interesting. I didn't know ophtho did botox for this. I thought that was a neurology thing (since I do botox for blepharospasm in my clinic too). And I agree with the other poster. Neurology owns all the nerves! ...for better or for worse.

I love the skits. I need the skits.

Pockets of oil in my eye… that can be cut out…. BORING??? Sir, I think you forget who your audience is.

Have you considered painters tape on the floor for character locations
