Will Flanary survived two cancer diagnoses and a cardiac arrest. Kristin performed 10 minutes of CPR to save his life while their kids slept in the next room. They built a mission around it.

Glaucomflecken is a healthcare entertainment and education company founded by Will and Kristin Flanary, known online as Dr. and Lady Glaucomflecken.

They've experienced healthcare from nearly every angle: as a practicing physician, as patients, as a medical family navigating training and practice, as a three-time co-survivor and CPR rescuer, and as authors in peer-reviewed medical journals. That range shapes everything they create.

Will creates medical comedy and satire for an audience of over 5 million. Kristin writes and speaks about co-survivorship, the psychological aftermath of medical crisis, and what healthcare systems owe the people sitting in the waiting room. Her writing has appeared in CHEST, the Journal of Cardiac Failure, Resuscitation, and Circulation, where she co-authored an American Heart Association Scientific Statement. She received the AHA's Resuscitation Champion Award.

They've delivered nearly 100 keynotes for organizations including ACEP, SCCM, Yale School of Medicine, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Their live show, Wife & Death, is a 90-minute multimedia storytelling experience for medical conferences, corporate events, and public audiences. They co-host Knock Knock, Hi!, a top 3% healthcare podcast, and publish Glauc to Me, a newsletter reaching 20,000+ subscribers.

Their work has been featured in The Washington Post, New York Magazine, STAT, Medscape, NPR's Radiolab, and American Heart Association News. They've collaborated with former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on public awareness of burnout in healthcare professionals and with Senator Elizabeth Warren on bipartisan healthcare legislation.
