From spleens to fingernails, Will tests his knowledge with a fun game linking body parts to ophthalmology. We also reminisce about our varied past jobs—from gymnastics coaching and textbook organizing to pizza delivery and research positions—and how those experiences shaped our paths to who we are today. The episode also dives into shocking healthcare news about UnitedHealthcare’s diabetic cataract diagnoses, trademarking content on social media, and navigating the ever-mysterious world of social media algorithms.
