Paging Dr. Glaucomflecken: A Field Guide to Surviving Medicine

The ultimate illustrated survival guide for anyone navigating the beautiful, bewildering world of medicine—told by medicine's favorite satirist.

Medicine is equal parts noble calling and absolute chaos—and nobody captures that tension better than Dr. Glaucomflecken. With 2.6 million TikTok followers and nearly 800K on Instagram, Will Flanary has built a devoted community of medical students, residents, and healthcare workers who recognize themselves in every sketch and painfully accurate observation he puts out. Now that world comes to life in a giftable hardcover illustrated field guide that blends parody, practical wisdom, and genuine heart. 

Inside:

• Species profiles of every medical specialty
• Survival tips for enduring hospital life
• Short reflections on empathy and burnout
• And signature illustrated humor throughout—charts, org diagrams, and sketches that deliver the same wit that made his following so devoted

The hardcover illustrated format at an accessible trim size makes this an ideal gift for every major medical milestone—Match Day, white coat ceremonies, graduations, promotions and beyond
