Скачать или смотреть Should We Worry About Organ Procurement Organizations? | Knock Knock Eye

I spent this week untangling one of the wildest New York Times stories in recent memory about organ donation. The article set off a firestorm online, and the clickbait headlines had everyone ready to rip “organ donor” off their driver’s license. But is it really that bad? I break down what’s true, what’s exaggerated, and what it means for a system that saves thousands of lives every year.

Then I get fired up about neonatal conjunctivitis and the nonsense being spread by wellness influencers who think erythromycin ointment is more dangerous than gonorrhea (spoiler: it’s not). Throw in some eye speculum nightmares, an unexpected syphilis diagnosis, and a listener Q&A that went completely off the rails, and you’ve got one wild ride through eyeballs, ethics, and misinformation.

Takeaways:

Why that viral organ donation article might not be as scary, or as wrong, as it first looked.

The eyebrow-raising system that pits organ procurement groups against each other.

How one strip of erythromycin can save a baby’s vision (and why influencers are getting it wrong).

The surprising risk of squeezing too hard during cataract surgery.

How an ophthalmologist once diagnosed syphilis just by looking into someone’s eyes.
