    You have to be a very unique type of person to be in a career like that.

    I think sociopaths/psychopaths are a higher percentage in such jobs. They don't get emotionally involved, are detached.

    Not saying about Ciaran, but the stats in general.

    I’m sure all HCW’s must be able to rationalise death

    They will struggle otherwise

    Ah you get that ould codswallop about all high achievers/ management etc. Being honest, a doctor has to be able to detach, or they’d need to live on anti depressants. I think he’s a really interesting guest, obviously gifted at his chosen field and seems so normal and down to earth.

    This is a top drawer interview with the brain surgeon, it is so refreshing to hear someone interesting interviewed rather than Tubridys endless cycle of death and dying

    A neurosurgeon is definitely a person I wouldn't put in the boring category. I have so many questions for this man. I'm surprised because he isn't typical you know, but that's good.

    I probably shouldn’t have say boring, sorry. I just guess I was thinking of Tubridy interviewing one ..

    What an amazing man.

    Young people nowadays looking up to "influencers" or wanting to be famous.

    Forget it. Aim to be like this man.

    Even farming Fintan. People from towns and cities think we'd be so cold on deaths of livestock. But just you'd be so used to it.

    I haven't watched Tommy's show before but read the great reviews. I have to be honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed by his interviewing style. He strikes me as a bit contrived, just asking childish, gormless questions. I don't exactly find it rivetting. If tonight's show is the norm I think it's over-rated.

    Just looked at some of his reviews online.

    People say his manner is poor and unempathetic.

    I suppose once he's technically skilled that's what matters but still it would be important to have confidence in a guy who was going to operate on your brain.

    Exactly

    It frustrates me to see people aspiring to be like people who haven’t actually achieved anything

    No he doesn’t. He’s genuine. Don’t be a begrudger.

    Dunno if it's codswallop. Certain personality types are more common in certain professions.

    While naturally the job makes you case hardened.

    Strange because it's a profession where you are working closely with and on other humans. I do believe though it is possible to be emotionally detached and not a psychopath, me for example :p

    Do you normally take medical advise from anonymous morans online?
