- Acting for Two: All the specialists, other doctors, med students, admin, medical billing people, maintenance and anyone else: all played by Dr. Flanary in a variety of outfits. One of the doctors shows a picture of his wife, which is Dr. Flanary in a blonde wig (and obviously bearded.) The only exception is the OB/GYN, played by Kristin Flanary (or "Lady Glaucomflecken").
- Another exception, albeit for one video, was that fellow Youtube and Tiktok creator Doc Schmidt played the GI attending in "Med Student's First Day of GI.
- Fan Community Nicknames: "The Glauc Flock".
- I Am Not Spock: According to Dr. Flanary, people call his practice asking to make an appointment with Dr. Glaucomflecken, thinking his stage name is his real name.
- Reality Subtext:
- The "Men's Health Month" video has a thorough guide on how to do a self exam to check for testicular cancer. Dr. Flanary is a two time testicular cancer survivor.
- A lot of the sketches are interpersonal conflicts and relatable characters for doctors, but further experiences with the American health insurance system after he suffered a cardiac arrest meant much more pointed satire about the evils of that system and for-profit medicine.
