Show notes
I love a good medical joke as much as the next ophthalmologist, but there’s one line I won’t cross and I think more of us need to hear it. In this episode, I’m talking about the state of medical comedy, why I almost stayed anonymous forever, and the one thing I’ve learned never to make fun of online. I also dive into YouTube comments, explain why onions make you cry (with the help of some very stylish goggles), answer questions about Stickler syndrome, and tell you how a group of urologists completely changed my testosterone replacement therapy.
Takeaways:
The biggest mistake new healthcare creators make when joking online.
Why onions trigger tears and the ridiculous “onion goggles” I actually own.
How Stickler syndrome affects the eyes, collagen, and the risk of retinal detachment.
A correction about fentanyl dosing during cataract surgery (spoiler: I do know the difference).
How a urology conference cocktail hour changed my approach to testosterone replacement.
