Our Mission

Together and individually, we use our social media presence, impactful writing, creative endeavors, and multimedia keynote speaking to promote humanity and a healthy sense of humor in healthcare.

We’ve worked with countless accredited research institutions and nonprofits, and our work has been featured across major media outlets.

About Us

Meet Dr. Glaucomflecken

Since then, it has evolved to incorporate satire of the US healthcare system, academic publishing, and the interpersonal conflicts that are pervasive in the medical system.
