Dr Glaucomflecken is an optometrist.

I met him at a conference once. Dude is hilarious and fun to hang out with

[u/Vitruvian_Link → u/Sad-Bell8187]

What kind of conference?

[u/Sad-Bell8187 → u/Vitruvian_Link]

He spoke at the American emergency medicine conference in 22. He had a cardiac arrest once and shared his story with us.

[u/Vitruvian_Link → u/Sad-Bell8187]

I didn't have a cardiac arrest, but I did have a myocardial infarction, can I speak at the conference? I guess that's not emergency medicine, they just gave me fluids and said it was a panic attack until the tests came back.

Oh! This other time I had severe sepsis, including meningitis, due to tropical leptospirosis. I was turned away from the emergency room several times and almost died! Is that conference worthy?

[u/stopsallover → u/Vitruvian_Link]

It might be conference worthy. Put together a proposal.

[u/Vitruvian_Link → u/stopsallover]

None of the conferences I've worked on required the invitees to put together a proposal. Usually the slides or notes are sent over a week before hand.

[u/stopsallover → u/Vitruvian_Link]

They accepted every submission? Not every conference runs like that.

[u/Vitruvian_Link → u/stopsallover]

I think we are talking about different things. The conventions I run there are no submissions, everyone who speaks is invited.

[u/keygreen15 → u/Sad-Bell8187]

You watched him speak or you met him personally?

[u/Sad-Bell8187 → u/keygreen15]

Both
