The Tommy Tiernan Show Thread - Mod warning, see OP

"be a doctor, buy your own plane"- can't argue with that advice :P

Say Your Number

Jaysus, a man of many talents.

take everything

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.

What an amazing man.

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

Forget it. Aim to be like this man.

Exactly

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

Certainly not shy about listing his achievements

But in fairness Tommy has been asking him

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

This guy can do whatever he wants. Crazy smart

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.

I like this man.

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

The same fella that walked out on the family for a younger model. Bit of a prick to be honest.

Ryan Tubridy should be humilated watching this

Do you normally take medical advise from anonymous morans online?

Not begrudging at all, why is that lazy label thrown around if anyone doesn't fawn over someone?
He's clearly a brilliant guy who's achieved far more than most of us ever will, it's just an observation that in my opinion he doesn't seem humble. Fair play to him, he's achieved hugely and does great work.

Fantastic interview.
The only god awful thing about the show is them not being able to shake hands at the end of the interview. It stands out a mile.

Who me?

If I met him in a pub drinking a pint of Coors and he told me he was a neurosurgeon I'd laugh him out the door and wouldnt believe him...

Amazing work all the same.

2 great interviews so far with top class guests. No comparison with the LLS last night.

Ireland’s top Neurosurgeon who saved my life didn’t ask about my day.

That was thoroughly enjoyable.

Easily the best guest of the series so far. Fascinating chap to listen to and clearly Tommy was enthralled by him. Very very well done.

I NEVER knew that... was it the planned last episode anyway or did they end it when Dermot passed away?

And Frank Kelly, Fr Jack died on the same date 18 years later

One of the other three people chosen for the Space program was a former colleague of mine. Fascinating learning about the selection process. A flick of a pen at a meeting in Seville cancelled the program. It must have been an enormous disappointment at the time.

His next op is on Tubs' frontal lobe to stimulate humour. Could be a 24 hr op.
